VinFast EV Design Contest Philippines: ₱5.1M Prizes Awarded as 20,000 Voters Choose Next Models

Your Vote, Their Design: How VinFast Let Filipinos Design Their Future EVs!

VinFast Awards ₱5.1 Million in Prizes as Over 20,000 Voters Shape the Next Wave of Electric Cars

Hey everyone! The electric vehicle revolution in the Philippines just got a major boost, and the best part? Filipinos were directly involved!

VinFast recently wrapped up its incredible EV design voting contest, “PiliPinas: Your Vote, Your Design for the Future Filipino Drive,” and the results are a huge win for green mobility and community involvement.

The response was massive: over 20,000 votes were cast in just two weeks (October 24 to November 7)! This huge turnout proves that the Philippines is absolutely ready for VinFast's stylish EVs, and that green mobility isn't just a trend—it's a smart choice for our future.

Millions in Prizes for Co-Creators

VinFast went all out, giving away an impressive 303 prizes with a total value of ₱5.1 million pesos! This wasn't just a simple lucky draw; it was about rewarding insight and creativity.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the generosity:

The Big Winners: Three participants took home the top prize of ₱150,000 pesos each for correctly predicting the most popular design and the final vote count. Talk about seeing into the future!

Design Detectives: 20 close-prediction prizes were awarded, ranging from ₱40,000 to ₱80,000 pesos, for the sharpest guesses on the VF 5, VF 6, VF 7, VF 8, and VF 9 results.

Creative Geniuses: 130 individuals who submitted their own unique design concepts were gifted ₱15,000 pesos each. Filipino creativity is truly boundless!

Lucky Voters: An additional 150 voters received ₱10,000 pesos in a random lucky draw.

Filipinos Get to Be the Designers

The core of the contest was giving power to the people. VinFast's global creative team presented 10 brand-new interior and exterior design concepts for each of their models (VF 5 through VF 9).

Voters across the entire archipelago eagerly shared their personal preferences, essentially telling VinFast, "This is the EV I want to own!" This close competition and high engagement confirm two things: 1) VinFast’s new design portfolio is seriously appealing, and 2) they now have a deep understanding of what Philippine drivers want.

As Mr. Antonio Zara, CEO of VinFast Southeast Asia, put it: “With our customer-centric philosophy, VinFast wants Filipinos to become true co-creators of the electric vehicles that will soon be seen on Philippine streets... [This] inspires us to develop vehicles that reflect the Filipino spirit: resilient, steadfast and always striving for a better future.”

To ensure total transparency, all fifty design options were published, and voting was made accessible everywhere—online and through thirty physical ballot boxes placed nationwide.

What This Means for the Future of PH Mobility

In just over a year, VinFast has made a huge impact on the Philippine market, rapidly expanding showrooms, increasing test drive events, and making crucial financial partnerships.

This contest confirms that VinFast isn't just selling cars; they are building a community and empowering the Filipino voice to shape the next generation of transportation. The high engagement ensures that the EVs we see on our roads soon will truly reflect the tastes and aspirations of Filipino families.
