Canadians can reserve a vehicle for a fully-refundable $250 deposit. From now until April 5, 2022, those who do will be considered “pioneer customers” and will receive extra benefits.

These include an e-voucher to take $3,500 off the price of a VF 8 when it arrives; or $6,000 off a VF 9; a mobile charger for the vehicle; and free driving technology and connectivity packages.

VinFast is based in Vietnam, and pioneer customers will also get a seven-day tour and seaside villa accommodations for four, although you’ll have to buy your own flights.
