The expansion will add new locations across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao as VinFast works toward a 60-dealership network in the Philippines in 2026.
VinFast has signed strategic Memoranda of Understanding with 13 dealer partners in the Philippines to develop 27 new showrooms nationwide.
The planned expansion will cover Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, strengthening VinFast’s presence in major urban centers such as Metro Manila and Cebu while extending the network into areas including Cagayan de Oro, Tacloban, and Subic Bay. The agreements support VinFast’s goal of building 60 dealerships in the country in 2026.
Expanding access across the country
The new showrooms will be developed according to VinFast’s global standards and are expected to provide spaces for customers to learn about and experience the brand’s vehicles, while also accessing sales and aftersales services.
Expanding the retail network gives VinFast a broader physical footprint as demand for electric vehicles develops across the Philippine market. It also gives customers outside major metropolitan areas more direct access to products, maintenance, and other ownership services.
13 local dealer partners
The participating dealer groups are Elite North Auto Cars Inc., MG GatewayMantrade Corp., Grand Canyon Multi Holdings Inc., Britannica United Motors Incorporated, VF Auto Sto Tomas Inc., GR8 Marketing Motors Inc., ARCMA Motors Corporation, Autonomics Motor Corp., Gershom Car Trading Corp., Areza Motor Sales Inc., Central Auto Resources Inc., Autolink Global Motors Inc., and Greenport Mobility Inc.
Their existing experience in automotive distribution is expected to support VinFast as it builds out its showroom and aftersales network across different regions.
“The Philippines is one of the key markets in VinFast’s long-term growth strategy in the region and globally,” said Antonio Zara, CEO of VinFast Southeast Asia.
“Here, we are not only focused on expanding our sales network, but also on building a sustainable foundation for growth spanning products, services, infrastructure, and the broader EV ecosystem.”
Building out the wider EV ecosystem
The dealership expansion forms part of VinFast’s wider push to build what it calls a “For a Green Future” electric vehicle ecosystem in Southeast Asia.
In the Philippines, that effort includes not only vehicle distribution, but also aftersales support and charging infrastructure through V-Green and local partners. The broader aim is to make EV ownership more accessible and convenient as VinFast continues to expand its operations in the country.
The 27 planned showrooms give the brand another layer of physical presence in the market, complementing its vehicle lineup with a wider sales and service network.
