VinFast Philippines has opened a dealership in Pasay City as it continues to add retail and service locations ahead of its target of 60 dealerships nationwide by the end of 2026.
The new VinFast Pasay dealership opened on 12 September in partnership with Ravox Car Dealership Corporation. The 270-square-meter facility is located at Hongji Gardens along Macapagal Boulevard and is positioned to serve customers in southern Metro Manila.
The dealership handles vehicle sales and after-sales services. It also has charging stations and provides genuine spare parts and preventive maintenance.
VinFast Southeast Asia chief executive Antonio “Toti” Zara III attended the opening with VinFast Philippines deputy chief executive for sales and network development Abner Berdos and communications director Nora Liquido.
Ravox Car Dealership Corporation president Jerome Uy also joined the event along with SM Engineering Design and Development Corporation president Hans Chico Sy and Cellboy chief executive Alvin Chu Teng.
The Pasay dealership adds another location to VinFast’s growing Philippine network as the Vietnamese electric vehicle maker works with more local dealer groups.
VinFast recently signed agreements with 13 dealer groups that are expected to establish 27 additional outlets across Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao.
The planned locations will add to the company’s presence in Metro Manila and Cebu while extending its network to areas such as Cagayan de Oro, Tacloban and Subic Bay.
The dealer partnerships cover both vehicle sales and after-sales support. VinFast is also working to increase access to EV charging through V-Green and other local partners as more of its vehicles enter the Philippine market.
Zara said the Philippines remains an important market in the company’s regional plans. VinFast intends to develop its dealer network together with its products, customer services and charging infrastructure.
The company is relying on local dealer groups for their knowledge of their respective markets and their experience in automotive retail.
That approach will be important as VinFast works toward its 60-dealership target, which would give the company a much broader physical presence than it had when it entered the Philippine market.
The Pasay location also gives VinFast another foothold in Metro Manila, where access to service facilities and charging remains an important consideration for buyers looking at electric vehicles.
VinFast has continued to build its Philippine operations through dealership agreements and charging partnerships rather than relying on a small number of company-run locations.
More outlets are expected to open as the agreements with its dealer partners are carried out across the country.
With Pasay now operating, VinFast has another sales and service point in one of Metro Manila’s busiest commercial areas while the larger dealership rollout continues.
