VinFast Kicks Off 2025 with Attractive Incentive Program

Published

on

VinFast is starting 2025 with an attractive initiative designed to captivate eco-conscious consumers and families alike. By bundling its 7-seat, all-electric VF 9 SUV with the stylish VF DrgnFly e-bike, the automaker is redefining value in the EV market while emphasizing sustainable, family-friendly mobility.

IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The electric vehicle (EV) market in the United States is steadily accelerating, defying early predictions of stagnation. In 2024, EV sales soared to a record 1.3 million units, a 7.3% increase year-over-year.

As 2025 begins, VinFast has unveiled a compelling new deal: customers purchasing the spacious 7-seater VF 9 SUV will receive a complimentary VF DrgnFly electric bike—a combination designed to appeal to eco-conscious families.

The VF 9 and VF DrgnFly: A Perfect Pair for Modern Families

The VinFast VF 9, with its spacious three-row configuration, is a model tailored for families. Its sleek design, ample seating for up to seven, and cutting-edge technological features such as tri-zone climate control, panoramic sunroof, and a built-in entertainment system for rear-seat passengers offer both comfort and functionality.

From school carpools to long road trips, the VF 9 is there for every family member’s needs. Advanced driver assistance systems, an intuitive infotainment setup, and impressive range capabilities make it a standout option for those seeking a reliable and eco-friendly vehicle.

But what truly makes this promotion special is the inclusion of the VF DrgnFly electric bike, valued at $2,599. While understated in appearance, the VF DrgnFly showcases thoughtful engineering that prioritizes performance and practicality. With its 750W rear hub motor and a top speed of 28 mph, it offers a smooth, responsive ride suitable for both short errands and leisurely adventures. The bike’s design features balloon tires, an ergonomic saddle, and a striking flat frame that balances durability and weight. Its versatility shines with features like a removable lithium-ion battery, which allows users to recharge conveniently at home.

Imagine the possibilities: a parent gliding through the neighborhood on the VF DrgnFly for a short trip around town, or perhaps a teenager using it for the daily school commute. The bike’s smart features, including mobile app integration, multiple driving modes, and a theft alarm system, enhance its practicality and charm. It’s more than just a complementary offering—it’s a symbol of VinFast’s vision to integrate sustainable mobility into everyday life.

This pairing underscores an important point: both the VF 9 and VF DrgnFly serve as green alternatives to traditional modes of transportation. Families concerned about their carbon footprint can feel reassured that every journey—whether it’s across town in the VF 9 or down the street on the VF DrgnFly—comes with a lighter environmental impact.

Bracing for the Challenges of 2025

While the EV market has made significant strides, the road ahead remains challenging. VinFast, however, is no stranger to navigating challenges. The company has established a continuous improvement process that works to enhance vehicle systems and performance through consumer feedback. It has also built a reputation for delivering exceptional value, by providing 0% APR financing options or $0 down payment leases, and an industry-leading 10-year/unlimited mileage warranty. These initiatives have been critical in building consumer trust.

In its home market of Vietnam, VinFast has already established itself as a leader, closing 2024 with record-breaking sales and retaining the top brand position in the final quarter of the year. This success provides a solid foundation for the company as it seeks to expand its footprint in the U.S. market.

By coupling attractive incentives with a strong emphasis on customer satisfaction, VinFast is positioning itself for continued growth in 2025. The VF 9 and VF DrgnFly promotion exemplify this strategy, showcasing how the company blends innovation with practicality to meet the needs of modern consumers.

As automakers navigate the evolving EV landscape, VinFast’s approach stands out. The combination of a luxurious, family-friendly SUV and a stylish, high-tech e-bike captures the imagination while addressing real-world concerns about sustainability and versatility. It’s a bold, customer-focused move that underscores the company’s ambition to define its trajectory for years to come.

The Deal:

VinFast is offering a complimentary VF DrgnFly E-bike to customers who purchase the 3-row, 7-seater VF 9 SUV at participating VinFast network locations across the United States between January 15 and February 28, 2025. This promotion combines the spacious and versatile VF 9 with the sleek and eco-friendly VF DrgnFly, giving families an additional sustainable and practical travel option.

To qualify, purchases must be completed within the promotional period. The E-bike will be shipped to select VinFast locations for customer pickup and will require assembly. To locate your nearest participating store, visit the VinFast Network Locators page at https://vinfastauto.us/find-us.

New offering gives developers, students, and customers access to the full power of Workato’s enterprise-grade engine to build AI agents and MCP servers

SINGAPORE, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Workato®, the leading Control and Execution Platform for Enterprise AI, today announced the launch of a new self-service offering that gives customers, developers, and students across Asia access to the Workato platform to govern and scale their AI initiatives, including building and productionizing AI agents and MCP servers.

Making AI accessible has been at the heart of Workato’s mission the past several years. Through the AI Institute Alliance, unveiled in September 2025, Workato partnered with leading institutes of higher learning across Singapore, including Nanyang Polytechnic, Republic Polytechnic, Temasek Polytechnic, Singapore Polytechnic, Ngee Ann Polytechnic, the Singapore University of Social Sciences, and the National University of Singapore. The initiative equipped students and educators with automation and AI skills.

The AI Lab, which opened a year later, extended that commitment further into the public sector through its partnership with EDB, and into inclusive hiring through SG Enable.

The newly launched self-serve platform will provide users access to:

A free account to start building immediately, with the option to upgrade to a paid plan, no contract required, as projects growThe ability to build recipes, Agents/Genies, and MCP servers directly on the platformThe same governed, enterprise-grade engine that powers Workato’s largest deploymentsA path built for independent developers, students, and small teams, as well as large enterprises

Since launching in 2026 in North America, Workato has seen rapid growth in the builder community. The platform is enterprise grade, but free to get started. As builders solve problems for their business, they can grow by upgrading to a paid plan. With this launch in Singapore, Workato is making an investment in the local builder community.

“The next era of AI won’t be defined by who has access to intelligence, but by who can turn it into action. We’re putting the same enterprise-grade power trusted by the world’s largest companies into the hands of every builder. We want everyone to be able to transform how their business operates,” said Rishi Mallik, Chief Growth Officer, Workato. 

Workato showcased its self-serve platform and broader community initiatives at World of Workato (WOW) 2026 in Singapore.
