The VinFast VF8 Is a Primetime Player

The VinFast VF8 is shining a light on the EV world. You don’t need to be a long-established automaker to make a great car—you can provide buyers with excellent service just by listening and paying attention to their wants and needs. This is how VinFast has become a respected EV brand so quickly.

A New Review of the VinFast VF8

In a recent test by Driving, the VF8 was lauded as a car that has evolved wonderfully since its first initial media test to current. The reviewer said that VinFast has made “a big improvement” in reference to the brushed aluminum and leather-like interior trim that make the car feel more luxurious and plush, as well as the higher quality door pockets that add extra space.

An Excellent App and Special Modes

When talking about some of the positives that make the VF8 a quality buy for those looking at getting their first-ever EV (or their tenth), the reviewer highlighted the many modes that allow you to have great control of your VinFast and enjoy it in many different scenarios, plus the easy-to-use mobile app, saying, “Another positive is four special modes: Camp, Pet, Valet, and Wash. Camp mode allows you to use the infotainment system, plug into the USB and 12-volt outlets, and maintain a comfortable cabin temperature while sleeping in the vehicle when the car is parked, such as while charging. Pet mode keeps the cabin at a comfortable temperature and displays a message on the screen that your pet is safe. Valet mode restricts functions like climate control and infotainment. And Wash mode prepares the vehicle for going through a car wash. There’s also a good Vinfast app that shows vehicle status, manages charging, and provides updates, appointments, and invitations.”

More Luxury Features than Normal for a “Base” Model

The model tested was the base Eco trim level, which included vegan leather seats, 12-way driver and 10-way passenger adjustable power seats, and a 10-speaker sound system. These are all features normally reserved as options on higher trim levels for most brands. VinFast also gives drivers a standard Head-Up Display, something that (if available on another EV) is usually only on top-of-the-line trims.

An Interior Filled with Brilliant Technology

The interior of the VF8 features a center-mounted 15.6-inch touchscreen infotainment system that controls everything in the car with ease. And with standard Sony RIDEVU, passengers can enjoy using the standard in-car WiFi to watch 2,000 different movies and TV shows offered by Sony Pictures Entertainment. Any device attached to the WiFi can watch. When the vehicle is in park, the infotainment screen can also be used to watch the same content.

The Best Car Warranty

The key detail that everyone loves the most about VinFast is the 10-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty with a 10-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty. No other car company can match the level of warranty that VinFast offers—not even Tesla. This is why you should come down to Ewing VinFast of Plano to check out the VF8 and also the three-row all-electric VF9 that allows a family of six to experience luxury for a reasonable price.

Make Your Car Ready to Work from Anywhere

Working from anywhere but the office has been a popular thing to do for a long time now. However, since the Covid-19 pandemic, it has become mandatory to find a good place to work diligently and efficiently while staying healthy. Owning a VinFast allows owners to truly take advantage of their vehicles and anywhere they can safely park to get work done.

Plenty of Ways to Charge Devices

Whether you use your phone, a tablet, or a laptop to get your work done, both the VinFast VF8 and VF9 will make sure you have plenty of ways to keep your devices fully charged. Each vehicle comes standard with multiple USB-A ports for each section of seats, but also a 90-watt USB-C port that is able to charge many different types of laptops and tablets that utilize USB-C charging ports. Your laptop probably has a USB-C port for charging, which is pretty much standard these days.

A WiFi Hotspot for More Productivity Out and About

Connect your mobile device and laptop to the VF9’s WiFi hotspot to get work done. Whether you are sending e-mail, doing video meetings, or updating your colleagues, you’ll be able to stay connected while out and about.

Find Ways to Make Working in Your Car More Comfortable

When working in your car, you’ll want to find a cozy spot to get some things done. Sitting in the back seat or popping open the hatch and hanging out in the cargo area are two great ways to chill out with your laptop. To have your laptop on a flat surface, consider a lap desk off Amazon, which will cost you anywhere from $20 up to $50 for a nicer one. If your device uses USB-C to charge (and since there is a 90-watt charge port for the rear seats), you’ll want to buy a six to ten-foot charging cable so you’ll have plenty of reach no matter where you are in the car. You may even want to look into getting a phone mount that sticks on the windshield, sits in the cupholder, or attaches to a vent. This way you can easily do video conferences without having to worry about holding your phone.

Camp Mode

Since the VinFast vehicles are electric, you can take advantage of features like “Camp Mode,” which allows you to use a little bit of the car’s battery to set the interior temperature, use the infotainment screen, and charge devices while sitting still.

VF9: Redefining Affordable Luxury EVs

VinFast hit a homerun with the VF9. While this is its first-ever three-row EV SUV, the Vietnamese EV company is quickly gaining respect in the market for doing something that no company outside of Tesla and Kia have been able to achieve, and at such a great price point. Starting from just $69,800, the large VinFast compares favorably to the Tesla Model X and the Kia EV9, especially when you look at what features the vehicle gets for the price.

A Fresh Review

In a recent review by YouTuber Roads Untraveled, reviewer Marcus Vandenberg found the VF9 to be a gorgeous design from design house Pininfarina. He seemed to enjoy its completely unique style and fresh feel.

An Interior to Fall in Love With, No Matter the Seat You’re In

When talking about the interior, Vandenberg was blown away by the fact that when equipped with captain’s chairs, second-row passengers have eight-way heated and ventilated power adjustable massaging seats with lumbar support. He went on to say that they were miles better than the not-so-massaging seats in the Genesis GV80. Second-row passengers also get a wireless charger plus USB-C ports. Even the third-row passengers aren’t left out in the cold as they get their own climate controls and USB-C ports, too.

A Really Cool Feature

An extremely unique feature Marcus noticed was that any time you move your seat or mirrors, the center-mounted 15.6-inch infotainment screen displays a message saying that the vehicle noticed you changed a setting and asks if you’d like to save that as an updated setting for your particular user profile. He said he’s never seen another vehicle so smart.

Not Just Beautiful, But a Fantastic Ride

Once he got to the driving impressions, Marcus appreciated that the vehicle was powerful. From a dead launch, he could get the wheels to spin a little like a sports car, and the brakes worked very well with zero complaints. “It rides well … overall road noise is great. And there have been moments where I’ve just kind of forgotten that I’m driving anything, really. It’s been quiet and comfortable.”

What Makes the VF9 Special

One of the reasons why customers are appreciating what VinFast has to offer is its focus on not confusing customers will half a dozen or more different trim levels that maybe add one or two extra features that can still be added as paid options on lower trim levels. The VF9 is available in two trim levels: Eco and Plus. Unlike most other EVs on the market, especially three-row SUVs, both trim levels come standard with dual motors, 123-kWh batteries, and all-wheel drive. Both also produce 402 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque. Eco models have an EPA-estimated range of 330 miles, and the Plus model is able to drive 291 miles.

A Warranty Like No Other

Undoubtedly the highlight of both the VinFast VF8 and VF9 is the standard 10-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty with an industry leading 10-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty. That is simply unheard of, especially for modern vehicles. Ewing VinFast of Plano is excited to offer both models, and the salespeople will be happy to show you why VinFast is one of the best new purchases or leases you can make right now.

Why Are You More Relaxed Driving An EV In Rush Hour Traffic vs ICE Cars

Traffic is by far the most annoying and frustrating part of driving, especially when you’re just trying to get home from work at the end of a long day. While driving a car is freeing, especially with all the places you can go to so quickly and easily, being stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic makes many people very angry and annoyed. People tend to report that driving a vehicle with an internal combustion engine (ICE) makes them more irrational and angrier when stuck in traffic. However, people also report that they stay calmer and more composed when driving an EV like a VinFast. Why is that?

Different Factors in What Creates Noise When Driving a Car

Gas-powered cars are loud and noisy. Between the engine, exhaust, wind, road, and tire noise, driving a standard car in traffic can make people run hotter under the collar. On hot days, your air conditioning can run worse, and when sitting in traffic, you may not feel as cool and relaxed. On the other hand, though, multiple studies have shown that those who drive a VinFast or other EV experience less fatigue and anger when driving an EV thanks to its comfortable seats, quiet interior, and isolated feelings from the outside traffic noise and worries.

A Big Difference in Base Noise Levels

Because of the major differences in noise between an EV and an ICE car, people are at a calmer baseline. With a gas car, the base noise level is many decibels higher, meaning that you feel like you have an annoying tone stuck in your head.

The Sound System Can Be at A More Sensible Level

Another great reason EVs make you feel calmer while driving is that you don’t have to turn the sound system up as loud to drown out the other noises. Some cars have a natural bass-heavy drone, and turning up the radio can cut down on the sound but also start to give you a headache. Or, you can have that headache listening to the drone driving down the road. Take your pick. An EV is quieter; therefore, you don’t have to turn your music up as loudly to mask or knock out other annoying drones and tones.

EVs Are Engineered To be Quieter for A Reason

For all of the advances in automotive engineering, cars are meant to allow quite a bit of noise into the cabin for various reasons. Sometimes, if the car is sporty, drivers want to hear the engine and exhaust, which means the car needs less sound deadening. However, that also means you’ll hear more natural sounds coming from the road, such as tire and wind noise. Since an EV doesn’t have an engine, engineers do not want drivers to focus on the annoyances of hearing even more of the outside world, so extra sound deadening, thicker materials, more aerodynamic mirrors, and even quieter tires are designed and developed to decrease the base levels of outside noise.

Range Anxiety Is a Thing of the Past

Drivers used to feel more anxiety driving an EV because they were less confident in the range of the vehicle and having to find a charging station. Now, though, range anxiety isn’t experienced as much now that there are thousands more charging stations, and with the advances in battery tech, electric cars, like the VinFast VF8 and VF9, can drive farther than before.

It’s Time to Test Drive a VinFast

If you haven’t experienced how quiet a VinFast is while driving, then you really should take the time to come down to Ewing VinFast of Plano and take one of our vehicles for a spin. There is truly nothing like having a quiet car and being able to enjoy the drive. Also, buying or leasing a VinFast is one of the best financial decisions you can make, thanks to the 10-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and 10-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty.

Why You Should Choose Ewing VinFast

Tailgating Without a Tailgate

Tailgating at a sporting event or concert is one of the most fun things a group of friends and like-minded individuals can do. Traditionally, tailgating is done with at least one pickup truck and a cooler full of beverages. There’s food on the grill and a beach ball swirling around. Now, though, with electric vehicles like the VinFast VF8 and VF9, those who enjoy pre-gaming their favorite event can now do so—without a tailgate. EVs can power most accessories without affecting the car’s battery or using any gas.

Camp Mode for Tailgating

One of the features of the VF8 and VF9 is Camp Mode, which allows you to operate the sound system, LED lighting, Sony RIDEVU, and all of your charge ports. It also allows you to use the heater and air conditioning to keep the interior of the vehicle comfy. No matter if you’re at a professional sporting event or your kids’ weekend sports games, a VinFast will have plenty of room for all your tailgating supplies, plus the ability to haul five people.

Portable Coolers and Food Containers

Whether you are into the Cowboys, Rangers, Mavericks, Stars, or FC Dallas, tailgating in your VinFast couldn’t be easier. By picking up a portable 12v cooler/refrigerator like an ICECO or a Dometic, you can be sure that your special beverages will stay cold the entire time you’re hanging out waiting for the game to start. And if you like meats, cheeses, and crackers, $25-$30 will get you a nice on-the-go charcuterie board with a lid.

You’re Going to Need a Grill

Weber and Blackstone make two of the most popular travel and tailgate grills with tons of accessories. These travel nicely, taking up little space in the rear cargo area of your VinFast. The question is, do you want a grill or a griddle for game day? A griddle will allow you to cook breakfast all day, while still having a great surface for steaks, chicken, or even making Philly cheesesteaks. However, hot dogs and burgers with the classic grill marks just taste better for some reason, right? Also, are you into charcoal or are you a Hank Hill (he sells propane and propane accessories)?

VF8 and VF9 Cargo Space

The beauty of having a VinFast isn’t just the 13.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats of the VF8 or the 32.7 cubic feet in the VF9 when the third row is folded. No, it’s the extra 2.7 cubic feet of frunk space in the VF8 and 3.5 cubic feet in the VF9. And don’t forget, both vehicles also allow you to tow up to 4,000 pounds if you want to bring a camper with you, and they make accessories where you can hook a grill up to the tow hitch.

The Best Warranty Around

While tailgating in an EV is certainly a fun experience, there is nothing that gets customers more excited than the ten-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and the ten-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty for all VinFast vehicles. There is no greater peace of mind.
