In the "Best EV City Car" category, VinFast VF 3 outperformed competitors from China, Japan, securing an overwhelming 89% of the total votes. This impressive win was based on the votes of over 50,000 show attendees and the official voting system of the organizers.
The VF 3 has garnered significant attention since its official debut in Indonesia, becoming the most-test-driven vehicle at IIMS 2025 in February.
With its distinctive design, impressive features, and accessible price, the VF 3 has emerged as an ideal urban vehicle. It's truly empowering owners to showcase their individuality and unique style with passion.
The Organizing Committee also honored the VF 6, the newest addition to VinFast's product lineup in Indonesia, with the "Favorite New Car Launch" award.

This model is expected to quickly win over Indonesian consumers and pave the way for a future of "Electrified Transportation for Everyone."
In addition to the product awards, VinFast was also honored with "Best Booth Car" and "Best Costume | Miss IIMS Surabaya 2025."
VinFast's exhibition booth stood out as the largest at the show, featuring a modern, futuristic design that powerfully inspired visitors with a vision of a green and civilized electric transportation future.
The expert panel, media, and numerous attendees were particularly impressed by the elegant image of the Vietnamese Ao Dai. This created a unique cultural highlight, blending traditional beauty with modern appeal, and affirming the fierce spirit of Vietnamese and Southeast Asian people in the global green revolution.
Mr. Rudi MF, as the Project Manager of Indonesia International Motor Show, stated: "We are very impressed with the product quality, the message conveyed, and the connection established with the audience as demonstrated by VinFast. The VF 3 and VF 6 models stand out as an interesting model that resonate well with both experts and the general public—something that is increasingly difficult to achieve in today's competitive market.
