What is VinFast’s ‘Residual Value Guarantee’ exactly?
A brand-new car—no matter the price, the quality, or the brand—starts depreciating the minute you drive it out of the dealership. How much that depreciation is varies, and that’s something a lot of car buyers consider when choosing their vehicle.
VinFast’s Residual Value Guarantee (RVG) program puts that depreciation value under a fixed schedule for the first three years, protecting buyers who have uncertainties about the resale value of electric vehicles. If, within the first three years, a VinFast owner decides to trade in his vehicle for an upgrade or even sell it back, the swapping or selling value will have been set.

How much is the residual value for VinFast vehicles?
The computation of the residual value will be based on the vehicle’s brand-new SRP. It will be predetermined and will not change no matter the market conditions.
For the first six months, VinFast guarantees 90% of the original price. It goes down to 86% after a year, down to 78% after two, and further to 70% after three. The schedule includes values in two-month increments in between these points.
VinFast Residual Value Guarantee program schedule:
- 90% resale value after the first six months
- 86% resale value after one year
- 78% resale value after two years
- 70% resale value after three years
What’s the catch?
The only catch is that there’s a mileage cap. The vehicle under the RVG program must not exceed 25,000km per year or 75,000km after the full three years. Essentially, this means the program does not apply to buyers who use their vehicles for service operations, the kinds which rack up the mileage quickly.
Which VinFast vehicles are covered by the RVG program?
All brand-new VinFast cars purchased from October 21, 2025 onwards are covered by this program.
