This looks at all the costs of owning a car over five or seven years, not just the initial price.
For electric vehicles (EVs) like the VinFast VF 6, this is especially important.

Fuel costs for a petrol SUV add up to INR 12,750 per month, while the VF 6 costs only INR 1,694 per month to charge.
Over five years, this saves over INR 660,000.
EVs also have lower maintenance costs, with the VF 6 needing only basic services like filter replacements and software checks.
VinFast offers complimentary maintenance for three years or 36,000 km, a seven-year vehicle warranty, and a ten-year battery warranty.
