Why a VF8 Is the Perfect Car for a College Student

2025 VinFast VF8 Driving on the Road

2025 VinFast VF8 Driving on the RoadBuying the right car for your college-bound kid seems like no big deal, right? Not so fast. Making sure that your child has a reliable set of wheels in case he or she needs to get some food, work a job, get medical assistance, go out on a date, and get home to you means that you should take this seriously. This is why the VinFast VF8 is the perfect college car for your first-time student.  

VinFast College Campus Charging StationFree Charging, Which Means No Gas 

While some colleges don’t allow freshman students to park their cars on campus, there are plenty of colleges that do. And just because a school won’t allow freshman to park on campus doesn’t mean you can’t find off-campus parking. Many universities now have free Level 2 public chargers for students and faculty, which means your teenager does not have to worry about paying for gas in a VF8.  

VinFast VF8 Interior Infotainment HUD, Heads Up DisplayThe Best Lease Pricing You’ll Find for a Luxury EV

The VinFast VF8 is also priced incredibly well, especially when it comes to leasing. Let’s say you take advantage of the VF8 Eco, the base trim level, which currently has a lease special of $0 down for $279 per month for 24 months. For $6,696, you can lease a brand new $50,000+ electric luxury SUV for your child that is amazingly safe and does not require gasoline, oil changes, or any major maintenance in that period. And when the two-year lease is up, just get another lease or buy your VF8.  

VinFast VF8 Panoramic RoofThe Best Warranty in the World 

Why would you buy a car you just leased? The VinFast VF8 comes with a ten-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty as well as a ten-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty. These warranties are better than any new car, gas or EV. This means that your now-used VF8 is still covered for a really long time and a lot of miles. Once your kid graduates, he or she will be walking out into the world with a reliable, still-under-factory warranty electric car that has 264 miles of range in the Eco trim.  

VinFast VF8 AirbagsSafety Comes First 

Have we mentioned how safe the VF8 is? Unlike pretty much any EV, the VinFast VF8 comes standard with a Head-Up Display, allowing the driver to keep his or her eyes on the road, which is perfect for younger drivers. Each model also features Traffic Jam Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Highway Driving Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Centering Assist, Blind Spot Detection, Automatic Emergency Braking, Intelligent Speed Recognition, Traffic Sign Recognition, Forward Collision Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Blind Spot Detection, Door Opening Warning, Front Automatic Emergency Braking, Emergency Lane Keep Assist, Front Parking Assist, Rear Parking Assist, backup camera, Automatic High Beam, and a 360-degree Surround View Camera system. Oh, and the VF8 has 11 standard airbags, too.

VinFast VF 9 Lease Adds Free $2,600 E-Bike Deal

VinFast Drgnfly EBike Lease Special

VinFast Drgnfly EBike Lease SpecialThe VinFast VF9 provides EV customers with one of the few true 3-row all-electric SUVs, an extremely great warranty, excellent lease pricing, and some of the best standard equipment on any new vehicle. Now, when leasing your VF9, you can also add a VinFast DrgnFly e-bike to your purchase and bring it with you on trips and vacations to use for quick trips.  

2025 VinFast VF9 Front Side ViewA Truly Unique Lease Special 

For just $599 per month for 24 months, you can lease a brand new VF9 and get the DrgnFly e-bike as part of a lease special. The VinFast DrgnFly features a 750-watt electric motor with a 48-volt lithium-ion battery and has a top speed of 28 mph over 68 miles in Eco mode or 32 miles when ridden at full throttle. If you and your family tend to vacation around campgrounds or beach towns, this e-bike is the perfect way to add an extra mode of transportation when exploring, going to the store to get some snacks, or even just going to a local coffee shop.  

VinFast Drgnfly EBike RidersAn e-bike Like No Other 

The DrgnFly comes with a 150-watt portable charger that can recharge the e-bike to full in just 4-6 hours. You can even remove the battery to charge it inside your work or anywhere while you’re on the go. This way, you don’t have to fear your e-bike being stolen while it’s charging.  

Electrify Expo Austin VinFast DrgnFlyA Better Way to Ride 

VinFast says the e-bike weighs 50 lbs and is crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum with wide handlebars and 20×4-inch balloon tires for extra comfort and riding stability. The hydraulic disc brakes are meant to work great in all riding conditions, even when it’s raining, and the bike is equipped with front and rear LED lights and integrated reflectors. This means you don’t have to worry if you decide to ride at night. The DrgnFly also has a mode called Pedal-Assist, which allows you to pedal the e-bike while riding to get in a bit of a workout. VinFast offers the DrgnFly with a 2-year, unlimited-mile warranty.  

VinFast Drgnfly EBike Riders Having FunBattery Pack and Performance 

The 2025 VF9 is available in Eco or Plus trim levels and starts from around $71,000. Eco models have a driving range of 330 miles, and Plus models offer 291 miles. Both trims come standard with all-wheel drive and a 123-kWh battery pack that delivers 402 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque. VinFast says the VF9, with its powerful battery, can get from 0-60 mph in just 6.5 seconds. The VF9 also comes standard with a Head-Up Display (HUD), something most EVs don’t even offer as an option. A HUD is a brilliant safety feature that allows drivers to keep their eyes on the road and still be able to see navigation information, range, music, and more. 

Standard Sony RIDEVU 

Unlike any other current EV on the road, the VF9 also offers Sony RIDEVU. Sony Pictures Entertainment and VinFast have partnered to bring RIDEVU to VinFast customers free of charge. RIDEVU brings 2000 Sony movies and TV shows to your VinFast for free. They can be watched on the in-car 15.6-inch infotainment display or on any device attached to the in-car WiFi. If you need to charge your device, VinFast added multiple USB-A ports and a 90-watt USB-C port to make sure everyone has the ability to stay charged and connected.  

VinFast Drgnfly EBikeExcellent Safety 

Safety is far and away the most important feature of any new car these days, and the VF9 doesn’t disappoint. With 11 airbags, along with Traffic Jam Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Highway Driving Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Centering Assist, Blind Spot Detection, Automatic Emergency Braking, Intelligent Speed Recognition, Traffic Sign Recognition, Forward Collision Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Blind Spot Detection, Door Opening Warning, Front Automatic Emergency Braking, Emergency Lane Keep Assist, Front Parking Assist, Rear Parking Assist, backup camera, Automatic High Beam, and a 360-degree Surround View Camera system, the driver and all occupants can feel safe knowing their VinFast has them protected. 

The Best Warranty You’ll Ever Find 

One big reason why buyers are switching to the VinFast VF8 and VF9 is the greatest vehicle warranty of any car in the world. Most EVs carry a five—or ten-year warranty for the car and battery system. All VinFast models offer as standard a 10-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a 10-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty. Even if you lease the vehicle and decide to buy it after the lease is up, you will still have 8 years of warranty left. There is no other car company that does that.

VinFast VF8 Offers Lowest Barrier of Entry into the EV World

VinFast VF8 Front Side View

VinFast VF8 Front Side ViewWhen it comes to buying your first electric vehicle, there are tons of options on the market and lots of information to digest, including trim levels, setups (single, dual, or tri-motor), charging speeds, and the like. EVs can also be expensive because the technology is still new. And there is always the question, “Is the $7,500 tax credit a discount when I buy the car?” This is where VinFast has made it easier for buyers to understand what they are getting with their VF8s.  

With the VF8 customers are getting one battery, an 87.7-kWh dual-motor setup. With nearly every EV there is a choice of either two-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The VF8 is simply all-wheel drive. Most EVs also have half a dozen or so trim levels with a multitude of packages. Not so with the VinFast. There are two trim levels, Eco and Plus. There aren’t really any packages. Both models sport Head-Up Display (HUD) as standard, a 15.6-inch infotainment touchscreen display, Sony RIDEVU in-car entertainment, every safety feature imaginable, 11 airbags, camp mode, and more.  

VinFast VF8 Interior ViewThe only differences between the two trim levels are power and range. The Eco has 349 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque with 264 miles of driving range, and the Plus has 402 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque with 243 miles of range. Both models can charge from 10 to 70 percent of battery capacity in just 35 minutes on a Level 3 DC fast charger, which means you can go shopping or grab a bite to eat with friends while your car charges—no need to make time during your day to stop at gas stations or forget to get gas before you get home only to realize in the morning that you’re now going to be late for work.  

Throw in the fantastic VinFast mobile app, and you will see why customers are starting to understand what makes VinFast so great. With the app you can schedule and check on the status of your car when it’s in for service. Unlike most other EV car companies’ apps, this one allows you to save your payment details to be used at nearly every different paid charging station. Most companies force you to download their specific app to pay for charging, potentially exposing your private information if their systems are ever hacked. VinFast makes it so that you can use almost any charger out there by just using its app to pay.  

VinFast VF9 Front Seat DetailVinFast also offers its own home charger that is very easy to use and have installed. The company’s charger offers 12 kW, or 240 volts and 50 amps, of max power that will easily charge your car’s battery without any issues while you relax in your home. Plus, you can check the charging status on the mobile app. You can even set up what times you’d like the battery to start charging and when you want it fully charged by.  

To get your own VinFast VF8, the company is currently offering the most competitive leasing specials to help you see the true value of its car. The VF8 Eco will run you just $279 per month for 24 months with $974 due before you drive off. Or, if you would like the top Plus trim, that will cost only $1,024 down with a $329 monthly payment for 24 months. 

VinFast also offers the best warranty in the whole automotive industry with a ten-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a ten-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty. There is currently no company making an EV that this level of confidence in its vehicles—not even Tesla.

Top Seven Questions People Have About the VinFast VF9

2025 VinFast VF9 Front View

2025 VinFast VF9 Front ViewWhenever a new vehicle comes out, it is customary to have some questions—especially when it’s a vehicle that’s debuting for the first time, like the VinFast VF9. Since its debut, people have been wondering about the VF9, considering it’s one of only a few true three-row all-electric SUVs, and it costs considerably less while still packing the similar features, a better warranty, and amazing leasing options. So, let’s take a deep dive into some questions you may have about this brand-new family EV SUV.  

What Is the VF9? 

The VF9 is a three-row SUV that runs completely on electric power. Unlike some other brands that tend to confuse and then intimidate buyers with a dozen trim levels and a thousand options, VinFast has chosen to keep it simple with just two trims: the Eco and Plus. Eco models will give owners 330 miles of range, while the Plus model delivers 291 miles. Both models come standard with dual motors, a 123-kWh battery, and all-wheel drive with 402 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque. Between its power and range, the VF9 is able to compete well against other SUVs in the market, whether gas, hybrid, or electric.  

New VinFast VF9 Interior Dash ViewHow Much Does the VF9 Cost? 

The VF9 has a starting price of just $69,800. When compared to vehicles like the Kia EV9 that starts at $56,395, you need to spend more than $70,000 to get a model with options that rival the VinFast. While most automakers try to lock people into a cheaper vehicle with fewer options and less value, VinFast offers the VF9 pretty much fully loaded as a base Eco model, which includes a Head-Up Display (HUD), something the EV9 only includes on the top trim that will have you spending nearly $80,000. 

What Kind of Tech Does the VF9 Have? 

When it comes to technology, there is no other SUV of its size that has what the VF9 has. The VinFast VF9 comes standard with a 15.6-inch infotainment touchscreen display that allows the driver and front passenger to see and change pretty much everything about the vehicle. With Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, the VF9 gives owners the freedom to use their preferred system.  

More Technology 

Probably the most amazing piece of technology in the VF9 is Sony RIDEVU. Sony Pictures Entertainment provides RIDEVU as a way of giving VinFast customers the ability to watch 2,000 different Sony-owned movies and TV shows either on the main 15.6-inch infotainment screen when the vehicle is in park, or on any device that is attached to the in-car WiFi system. There are six standard USB-A ports with one 90-watt USB-C port, which means two per row. When captain’s chairs are optioned, passengers will find two extra USB-A ports in the center console. 

2025 VinFast VF9 Drive ButtonsHow Fast Can the VF9 Charge? 

The VF9 has the ability to charge from 10% to 70% in just 35 minutes when using a Level 3 DC fast charger. And thanks to the VinFast smartphone app, you won’t have to download every single public charging company’s app, as most of them are built into the VinFast app, allowing you to get charging quickly and easily. Also, it’s one less place that’s storing your sensitive payment information that can be hacked and stolen.  

Does VinFast Make a Charger, or Do I Have to Find One? 

Yes, VinFast does have its own charger that you can buy. In fact, it is one of the more affordable and advanced chargers on the market. The VinFast charger features a max power of 12 kW, or 240 volts, and 50 amps. The VinFast charger allows you to use WiFi, Bluetooth, or ethernet to connect to the charger and monitor the vehicle’s state of charge. Using the VinFast mobile app, the vehicle’s state of charge can be tracked easily from anywhere. As a Level 2 charger, the VinFast Home Charger is eight times faster than plugging the vehicle into a standard 120-volt wall outlet. 

2025 VinFast VF9 SeatingHow Safe Is the VF9? 

Safety features are one of the top reasons why buyers choose one car over another. The VF9 comes standard with 11 airbags, along with Traffic Jam Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Highway Driving Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Centering Assist, Blind Spot Detection, Automatic Emergency Braking, Intelligent Speed Recognition, Traffic Sign Recognition, Forward Collision Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Blind Spot Detection, Door Opening Warning, Front Automatic Emergency Braking, Emergency Lane Keep Assist, Front Parking Assist, Rear Parking Assist, backup camera, Automatic High Beam, and a 360-degree Surround View Camera system. 

Is the VF9 Big Enough for My Family? 

Size matters when you’re talking about vehicles that are being purchased for use by families. The VF9 does not disappoint, as it can seat up to seven people. With the third row in place, customers will have 7.48 cubic feet of trunk space and 32.7 cubic feet with the third-row folded down. Plus, there is an extra 3.5 cubic feet of space in the front trunk, or frunk. The VF9 can also tow up to 4,000 pounds, which means you can take your family and some jet skis to the lake and have a great time for the day, or pull a modest camper for a nice trip away from home.  

A Warranty Like No Other 

When thinking of buying or leasing a VinFast VF9, it is important to know that no other automaker has a better warranty. While most EVs have a five- or ten-year warranty for the car and battery system, the VinFast VF8 and VF9 are the only vehicles that have a 10-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a 10-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty.  

2025 VinFast VF9 Rear ViewThe Best Leasing Special You’ll Find 

Right now, VinFast is offering the VF9 for just $599 a month with ZERO dollars down for 24 months, with 10,000 miles per year. Oh, and you also get the $7,500 federal tax credit; name another EV that is this inexpensive with all the standard features available. In our Dollars and Cents comparisons, the VF9 always seems to come out on top simply because of what it offers buyers compared to the competition.

Tesla Lease Up? Why You Should Choose a VinFast Instead

New Vinfast VF9 on the Road

New Vinfast VF9 on the RoadLeasing a Tesla used to be the easiest electric vehicle decision a customer could make, mainly because it was the only real EV on the road for a number of years. Add in the Tesla-only Supercharger Network, and it was pretty much a done deal when shopping for your first or your tenth electric car. Now, though, more car manufacturers are making better EVs than ever, and young companies like VinFast are engineering and building competitive cars within the first few years of production. Throw in the fact that there are nearly 200,000 public charging ports in the United States, and there’s never been a better time to ditch a Tesla and check out what’s out there.  

Vinfast VF8 Plus Interior Dash A Tesla Doesn’t Age So Well 

There are many reasons not to buy or lease another Tesla that go beyond the current political landscape and any opinions of Elon Musk you may have. While a Tesla is still a good car, it has gotten a little long in the tooth in terms of styling. The Model Y and Model X, especially, have not aged well from a design standpoint. The Model X was the first major 3-row electric SUV out there, but now VinFast makes the VF9 that doesn’t look like a design accident.  

Vinfast VF8 at Charging StationA Historic Design Company 

Instead of developing their electric vehicles around a modern theme that EVs must be radically different looking to conventional gas-powered cars, VinFast took a different approach by looking to famed Italian car designer Pininfarina to craft the essence and beauty of the VF8 and VF9. While some may balk at the idea that a design firm founded in 1930 can dictate the future of EV design, it should be noted that almost every automobile on the road since the 1950s owes some part of its design to a car Pininfarina created. They’ve only styled some of the most influential and beautiful vehicles ever for Ferrari, Lancia, Alfa Romeo, Bentley, Cadillac, Maserati, Volvo, Jaguar, of course VinFast, and more.  

Cargo Space in the Vinfast VF9A Tesla Warranty Isn’t So Special 

A key reason to move away from a Tesla and into a VinFast is the warranty. Tesla’s battery warranty is eight years and anywhere from 100,000 to 150,000 miles, depending on the car you have. That’s weird, don’t you think? So, if you buy a rear-wheel drive Model 3 or Model Y, they only warranty the battery up to 100,000 miles? That seems like it’s saying something about what they believe will happen to that car, because an all-wheel drive Model 3 or Model Y has a 120,000-mile warranty for the battery, and the Models S and X and the Cybertruck carry a 150,000-mile warranty. Makes complete sense… to no one.  

A VinFast Warranty Is Special 

VinFast gives every EV in their current lineup a 10-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty, as well as a 10-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty.  Every Tesla has a 4-year, 50,000-mile basic warranty. That’s the same warranty duration and mileage luxury gas-powered car manufacturers like BMW and Mercedes-Benz give their cars. That means Tesla doesn’t consider itself better than the status quo. VinFast believes in their cars so much they’ll prove how good they are by offering the best EV warranty in the world.  

Rear View of the VinFast VF8 with the doors openTeslas are Pointlessly Fast, VinFast Cars Are Usefully Fast 

It has been well established at this point that all Teslas are fast. Realistically, they are faster than they really need to be. A ludicrously fast 0-60 time is great and all, but the real world has traffic lights. Going from traffic light to traffic light at breakneck speed and pace is neat the first few times you do it, but it eats up your battery range and gets boring after a while. And some passengers get ill from it. The VinFast VF8 and VF9 models weren’t meant to be speed demons, but they’re also not slouches in any sense of the word. The VF8 Plus can reach 60 mph in roughly 5 seconds, which is faster than a Honda Civic Type R at 5.3 seconds. The Civic Type R is a Bonafide sports car with a hot hatch that can beat Porsche 911s around racetracks. The VF8 beats it in a straight line. The VF9 is also competitive, boasting a 6.5-second 0-60 time. Two of the bestselling gas-powered, 3-row SUVs on the market, the Kia Telluride and Toyota Highlander, both get to 60 mph in about 7-7.5 seconds. Sure, the VinFast vehicles aren’t setting land speed records, but they are also faster than the average traffic.  

VinFast VF9 Interior Dash ViewSony RIDEVU 

One thing that you will not be able to get in any current Tesla model is Sony RIDEVU. RIDEVU allows passengers in the VF8 and VF9 to stream 2,000 different Sony-owned movies and TV shows either on the main infotainment screen when the vehicle is in park or on any device that is connected to the in-car WiFi.  

VinFast Lease Specials 

In the end, one of the biggest reasons buyers should look more closely at a VinFast is the price. When looking into leasing, the VF8 absolutely can’t be beat with its $199 per month for a 36-month lease special, with just $1,943 due at signing. The 3-row VF9 is just as stellar. With $2,000 due at signing, you’ll only pay $529 per month.
