The reverse mode and 35-liter trunk of the VinFast Evo Grand Premia won praise from office workers. From now until December 19, 2026, the Vietnamese scooter costs 24.9 million VND after incentives.
Last weekend, Ngoc Ha, an office worker in Hanoi, visited a dealership to test ride the VinFast Evo Grand Premia. She had liked its rounded scooter design and unusual olive green color since the model launched, and when she decided to sell her old petrol bike to switch to an electric one, it was the first option she considered.
After the test ride, the feature she liked most was the reverse mode, which makes it much easier to pull the scooter out of a parking space. The 35-liter trunk and the price of 24.9 million VND after incentives were the other two reasons she bought the scooter right after the test ride.
Ha said the company garage is often packed in the afternoon, and on some days the bikes parked next to hers leave so little room that she has to pull her bike out little by little to find space to turn. With the Evo Grand Premia, she only needs to twist the throttle gently once the scooter is in reverse mode, which takes much less effort than pushing it out by foot. Once the front wheel is out of the row, she can steer to turn around in the aisle, so parking and picking up the scooter become simple.
The 770 mm saddle height suits her, so she can put both feet on the ground while sitting on the scooter. The aluminum grab rail behind the saddle also makes it easy to park and move the scooter. The VA LCD screen shows speed, battery level and riding mode clearly, including a reverse mode indicator.
The scooter uses an Inhub electric motor with a maximum output of 2,250 W and a top speed of 70 km/h.
Storage space was another detail Ha cared about. The 35-liter trunk holds her bag, raincoat and other items she carries every day. The lidded front pocket has USB Type-A and USB Type-C ports, so she can charge her phone while riding.
The 2.4 kWh LFP battery already covers her daily trips from home to the office and weekend appointments. When she needs more range, she can add a second battery of the same capacity in the trunk to travel up to 262 km. The scooter comes with a 6-year warranty, and the battery is covered for 8 years with no mileage limit.
The current incentives also pushed Ha to buy the scooter right after the test ride. As the owner of a petrol motorbike, she qualifies for support when switching to an electric vehicle under the second round of the For a Greener Future program. The 3 million VND support cuts the list price of 27.9 million VND to 24.9 million VND from September 19 to December 19, 2026. The program also covers owners of petrol cars, lead-acid electric motorbikes from other brands, electric cars and VinFast electric motorbikes.
From October 31 to November 29, 2026, VinFast is running the Trade Petrol for Electric event series, with the message Join VinFast for a Greener Future, at 34 Vincom shopping malls across Vietnam. Alongside test rides and product discovery, visitors can learn about the second round of the For a Greener Future program, with support of up to 6 million VND. Customers can find program details and event locations on the VinFast website.
Why it matters: For office workers, the reverse mode and 35-liter trunk solve the two most tiring daily tasks, pulling a scooter out of a packed garage and carrying work items. The price of 24.9 million VND after incentives, plus support of up to 6 million VND at the trade-in events, makes switching from petrol to electric easier for this group of buyers.
