As a result, the VinFast VF 8 is considered by both users and experts to be a leading family car in the D-segment SUV category.
Runs smoothly and comfortably on various terrains.
After nearly 3 months of using the VinFast VF 8, covering over 4,000 km across various terrains – from highways and national roads to mountain passes and urban streets – what pleased Mr. Le Duc Hieu ( Son La ) most was the stable driving feel and power of VinFast's electric D-SUV model.
“I tried driving up to 120 km/h, and the car remained smooth and stable. On mountain roads, the VF 8 overtook container trucks quite smoothly, safely, and decisively,” Mr. Hieu shared.
According to Mr. Hieu, the acceleration of the VF 8 in Eco or Normal mode is quite impressive. When switched to Sport mode, the car delivers an exhilarating feeling. "The feeling of being 'pinned to the seat' is real as soon as you press the gas pedal," the owner shared, and assessed the VF 8's specifications as "more than sufficient" for driving conditions in Vietnam.
The VinFast VF 8 boasts a maximum power output of 402 horsepower.
These impressions are similar to the assessment of reviewer Nguyen Hung Dang Khoa (Vlog Xe). According to Khoa, the VF 8 boasts a powertrain that is among the most powerful in its segment, with two electric motors, a maximum power of 402 horsepower, 620 Nm of torque, and a full-time AWD system (for the Plus version).
“The VF 8 Plus takes approximately 5.58 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h. Compared to other cars in the 1 billion VND price range on the market, this could be a 'bargain' in terms of price-performance ratio,” Khoa assessed.
Attractive price
After a family trip to Cat Ba , besides the driving performance, Mr. Dang Dinh Toi (Toi Tai Tu channel) was impressed with the experience that the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) provided.
"With ADAS, driving on the highway is quite easy and safer. In fact, even a few seconds of driver distraction can be dangerous. ADAS helps with lane keeping, maintaining distance, and making the car more stable," Toi shared.
Sharing the same opinion, Mr. Le Duc Hieu assessed that the VF 8 fully integrates the features of a worthwhile luxury car. According to him, the product possesses many outstanding technologies such as lane departure warning, emergency automatic braking, forward collision warning, rear cross-traffic alert, etc.
The listed price of the VinFast VF 8 starts from 898 million VND.
In particular, thanks to preferential policies from VinFast, this model is now much more accessible. Specifically, the VF 8 currently has a listed price starting from 898 million VND - comparable to the price of C-segment gasoline cars - and is supported with installment purchases with 0 down payment. First-time owners of VinFast gasoline cars can also apply a thank-you voucher worth up to 80 million VND, bringing the actual price of the VF 8 down to just 818 million VND.
Beyond the initial investment cost, the VF 8 also helps users save money during use. Owners receive free charging at the V-Green system until February 10, 2029 (maximum 10 times/month). Electric vehicle maintenance costs are also lower because there is no need to change engine oil or perform many maintenance items, allowing owners to optimize ownership costs throughout the vehicle's lifespan.
Offering both a great driving experience and ensuring safety, while also being an optimal economic choice, the VinFast VF 8 is considered by many experts and users to be a top choice in its segment, especially for long-distance travel.
