VinFast may not be a familiar name to American consumers but with its recent launch of the VF 8 and VF 9 SUVs, it has the potential to be a prominent player in the EV scene. In a bid to promote the smaller VF 8, the Vietnamese car manufacturer has partnered with Simon Premium Outlets to give one away.
Anyone who pays a visit to a Simon Premium Outlet and/or Mills property in the U.S. can enter the Ultimate Power Shopper Giveaway. The grand prize consists of a brand new VF 8 as well as a $20,000 shopping spree at a Simon outlet. A lucky winner will be chosen during the National Outlet Shopping Day running across June 11-12.
To enter, all you need to do is post a selfie in front of a National outlet Day selfie station or take a photo of your shopping haul. Then it’s simply a matter of tagging VinFast and #NOSDGiveaway to have your chance at winning the VF 8.
