VF8 vs VF9: Which Is Best for You?

VinFast is quickly making strides to provide electric vehicles for enthusiasts and first-time EV customers with two excellent options for those looking for a variety of SUV sizes. The VF8 is the smaller yet more cost-conscious vehicle in the range, while the VF9 is a larger vehicle that not only comfortably seats up to eight people but also offers a bit more for the extra money you’re spending. Let’s take a closer look at the numbers to see which one is truly the best fit for you.

The VF9

As mentioned before, the VF9 Eco is an 8-passenger EV SUV. However, it does have the option to seat seven when buying the top-of-the-line Plus trim level. Plus models feature second-row captain’s chairs for extra comfort for rear passengers. VinFast says that Eco models will give owners 330 miles of driving range, and the Plus model offers 291 miles. With such a good range, the VF9 is able to compete well against both gas and electric SUVs alike. Both models come standard with dual motors, a 123-kWh battery, and all-wheel drive with 402 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque.

The VF8

VF8 is also available in just two trims to keep the confusion and guessing game out of buying your VinFast. Eco trim levels have a base price of $47,325, and the Plus trim starts from $51,800. Both trims have dual motors with 87.7-kWh batteries that give Eco models 349 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, and 402 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque for the Plus trims. This is a very healthy amount of power and torque, giving customers plenty of get-up-and-go while not having so much horsepower that it wastes battery usage. VinFast says the VF8 can get from 0-60 mph in just 5.9 seconds with the Eco and 5.5 in the Plus. The EPA says drivers can expect 264 miles for Eco models and 243 miles for Plus models between charges.

Charging Times for Both Vehicles

When it comes to charging times, both offer fast charging, whether at home or on the go. For owners charging at a Level 3 DC fast charger, the VF8 will go from 10% to 70% charge in just 31 minutes, while the VF9 takes a tad longer at 35 minutes for the same percentage.

The VinFast Home Charger

Most buyers will be charging their cars at home, and VinFast even offers its own charger that can be purchased for $599 and easily installed by a qualified professional. The charger features a max power of 12kW, or 240 volts and 50 amps. The VinFast charger gives owners the flexibility of using 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.

Interior Capacities

Both vehicles are good-sized crossover SUVs and have plenty of space for either a single household, people with pets, young families, or families that are bursting at the seams with kids and stuff. The 2024 VF8 features 13.2 cu-ft of space behind the second row of seats and 48.4 when they’re folded, and 2.7 cubes of space in the front trunk or frunk. Since the VF9 can seat up to eight people, it obviously has a bit more room and capacity. With the third row in place, customers will have 7.48 cu.ft. of trunk space and 32.7 cu.ft. with the third row folded.

Infotainment and One-of-a-Kind Entertainment

The VF8 and VF9 each offer customers a 15.6-inch infotainment touchscreen with a standard Head-Up Display (HUD). As you may have seen in our comparisons between the VF8 and other EVs on the market, the HUD seems to be an option that most automakers don’t seem to find important because only a couple of different vehicles even have a HUD as an option, with most not featuring the technology at all. Something else that other automakers can’t say their vehicle has 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.

Leasing Specials and Warranties

No matter which vehicle is best for you, both offer good lease specials to entice new buyers. You can walk into Ewing VinFast of Plano right now and lease a VF8 Eco for just $199 per month for 36 months with $0 down and 10,000 miles per year, or for just $249 per month, you can get the top-of-the-line Plus trim. The Vietnamese electric car manufacturer is offering the VF9 to customers for just $529 per month with $2,000 down on a 24-month lease. Don’t forget that VinFast also offers the absolute best warranty for any EV or non-EV on the market, with a 10-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a 10-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty.

VinFast VF8 Versus Genesis GV60

Well, folks, it’s that time again where we dive in and take a look at a rival of the new and hot VinFast VF8. This time we are going through the 2024 Genesis GV60. Does it have any secrets that it doesn’t want us to know? Like the VF8, it too is a brand new, first-generation electric vehicle.

The Genesis GV60 Is Welcomed to the Ring

The Genesis GV60 comes in four different flavors, including Standard RWD, Standard AWD, Advanced AWD, and Performance AWD. The Standard RWD car features a single rear-mounted motor with 225 horsepower and 258 lb-ft, with an estimated range of 294 miles. The Standard AWD has dual motors that produce 314 horsepower and 446 lb-ft of torque and can drive up to 264 miles. The Advanced AWD trim can drive 248 miles and has the same exact power and torque as the Standard AWD GV60. Finally, there is the Performance AWD that has 429 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque with an estimated range of 235 miles. The GV60 can only tow 2,000 pounds, which is less than the 4,000 pounds that the VinFast is able to tow.

Ridiculous Pricing

For 2024 the Standard RWD has a base MSRP of $53,700—more than the price of a fully loaded top-of-the-line VinFast VF8 Plus trim. Also, something that’s very odd: the GV60 comes in eight different colors—and seven of them cost $650 extra. The only free color for any of the trim levels is Alta White. Even the top-of-the-line Performance AWD that starts at $71,250 forces you to pay for any color other than Alta White. How weird is that?

Enter the Reining Champ, the VF8

So, as previously mentioned, the base Genesis is more costly than the fully loaded price of the VF8. The VinFast is available in just two trims to keep the confusion and guessing game out of buying your VF8. The VF8 Eco has a base price of $47,325, and the Plus trim starts at $51,800. Both VF8 trims have dual motors with 87.7-kWh batteries that give Eco models 349 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque and 402 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque for the Plus trims. Also, unlike the Genesis, and most other EVs, the VinFast comes standard with all-wheel drive. The EPA says drivers can expect 264 miles for Eco models and 243 miles for Plus models between charges. While some of the GV60 trims are clearly more performance-oriented, the VF8 isn’t exactly slow. It will get to 60 mph in just 5.9 or 5.5 seconds for the Eco and Plus, respectively.

Interior and Frunk Space

When it comes to interior space, the VF8 features 13.2 cu-ft of space behind the second row of seats and 48.4 when they’re folded. The Genesis, however, wins this battle with 24 cu-ft behind the second row and 54.7 cu-ft with the rear seats folded. But, the VinFast makes up for that with 2.7 cu-ft of space in the front trunk, or frunk area. The GV60 has just 0.7 cu-ft. This also shows something else that’s interesting. The Genesis has 10.8 more cubes of space behind the rear seats, but only 6.3 when the rear seats are folded? That means that Genesis has some inefficiencies when it comes to the interior layout’s usable space.

Leasing a VinFast Is Way More Cost Effective

No matter what you think of the Genesis GV60, it falls through the floor when you compare price and value. Buyers can walk into Ewing VinFast of Plano right now and lease a VF8 Eco for just $199 per month for 36 months with $0 down and 10,000 miles per year. For only $249 per month, you can get the top-of-the-line Plus trim. Oh, and VinFast offers a 10-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty with a 10-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty. You can still lease the GV60, of course, but it will cost you $721 per month for 36 months, with $0 down. Or, if you put down $5,999, you can save a little bit of money and only pay $646 per month for the same terms as the VinFast. Worse yet, Genesis only offers a 5-year, 60,000-mile standard warranty with an extra 10-year, 100,000-mile powertrain/battery warranty.

Perception Clouds Your Judgement

Let’s be real for a second. Can the Genesis GV60 really be so good that you would be willing to pay over three times more per month than for the VinFast? Is it worth it? I have to tell you, I have never walked into a store and asked to be charged more just because I thought the product might be better. If someone tells you that a ribeye steak is priced higher than chuck because it’s inherently better, he or she is either lying to you or just doesn’t know how to cook meat. Any good chef will tell you that, when prepared properly, a good cut of chuck can absolutely rival any other expensive piece of meat you have ever enjoyed. Perception is what drives us to think about value. VinFast doesn’t feel the need to overcharge you for a perception.

We look forward to serving you.

Leasing A VinFast VF8 vs Luxury Crossover

Leasing an electric vehicle is one of the smartest decisions a buyer can make when looking to get a new car. We have discussed before why leasing an EV makes sense in general, especially a VinFast VF8. Electric Vehicle technology is advancing at an amazing rate, and leasing can help keep you at the forefront of innovation.

Luxury Brands Are Nice, But Too Costly

One of the reasons leasing can be good is because leased vehicles typically have a lower monthly payment, especially for the VF8. Brands like BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and the like work hard to convince buyers that they have everything customers need. However, all that glitters is not gold, as some vehicles will start from $50,000 and will quickly cost $70,000 just with a few simple options. Each of those brands has lease offers that are above $400 and $500 per month for base cars with thousands of dollars down before you can drive away. This is not the case with the VinFast VF8, as you can choose between the Eco and Plus that retail for $47,325 and $51,800, respectively, with most features and luxuries being standard equipment.

A Starting Price with Most Features Standard

For just $199 per month for 36 months, the VF8 makes an excellent case for being the best luxury vehicle on the market for the price. Unlike many cars that buyers would compare to the VF8, the VinFast comes standard with more features than almost anything else, such as a Head-Up Display, all-wheel drive, a dual-motor battery, and a towing capacity of up to 4,000 lbs, which is more than the standard capacity on the Volkswagen ID.4, Hyundai Ioniq 5, BMW iX, and more.

Speed and Range

The VinFast VF8 is also pretty fast for a luxury crossover that isn’t about performance. It will get from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.5 seconds and has a range of 264 miles, which is faster than the 8.5-second Mercedes-Benz EQB, which also only has 251 miles of driving range.

Trim Levels, Power, and Charging

The VF8 is available in two different trim levels, the Eco and Plus. The Eco model has a 349 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, while the Plus model puts out 402 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque. Both vehicles feature an 87.7 kWh electric motor that drives all four wheels and can be charged from 10% to 70% in just 31 minutes on a Level 3 DC fast charger. Buyers can opt for the $599 VinFast Home Charger, which is hardwired to your breaker box and will output 250 volts and 50 amps.

The Best Lease Offers and Warranties Around

VinFast is offering the VinFast VF8 Eco for $199 per month for 36 months with $0 down or the Plus for just $249 for 36 months with $0 down. Both vehicles can be driven 10,000 miles per year without incurring any extra fees. Both models also come standard with a 10-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a 10-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty, which is far and away the best battery warranty of any vehicle currently for sale.

We look forward to serving you.

Leasing A VinFast VF8 vs Other Cars

As we have discussed before in the blogs about the VinFast VF8, and it is pretty common knowledge among experts and car buyers alike that it is best to lease an electric vehicle over purchasing one new. The reason for this is because battery technology is advancing at such a fast rate that within three to five years it is highly likely the battery pack in your EV is old tech compared to what is available on a brand new car.

Loads of Standard Features for A Good Price

The 2024 VinFast VF8 has two trim levels available: the Eco, which starts from $46,000, and the Plus, which starts from $51,800. As we have written about before, the VF8 comes standard with pretty much everything a car buyer would want, including a Head-Up Display (HUD), a suite of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, and the best EV warranty of all production cars, which covers the battery system of the VF8 for ten years and unlimited miles, a dual-motor battery pack, and all-wheel drive.

Current VinFast Lease Offers

The current leasing specials for the 2024 VF8 have qualified customers able to pay just $199 per month with $0 down for 36 months for the base Eco trim or $249 per month for the Plus trim level. The lease allows for 10,000 miles per year. There is no car company, especially no other manufacturer of electric cars, that will over this.

Nissan Ariya vs. VF8

Nissan’s EV, the Ariya, has a base MSRP of $40,980 for the Engage FWD trim level, which is a bit less expensive than the VF8. Granted, the Ariya only has a range of 216 miles compared to 264 miles for the VF8 Eco. Nissan is offering their EV, which has a slightly lower base MSRP, for $289 per month for 24 months, with $4,119 due at signing. There is less range and fewer standard options, but higher monthly lease payments and more due before buyers can drive away.

The Germans vs. VinFast

Many luxury brands have nice EVs. However, they are all costly, especially for what you get. The BMW iX xDrive50 is a new SUV-like electric vehicle from the German brand. With $6,419 due at signing, owners can drive off paying $699 per month. It’s a similar situation when you look at leasing a 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE 350+, which will cost you $7,093 at signing, only to still pay $599 per month over 36 months.

Ford and Chevy vs. VinFast

Let’s say you want something more American. If you want a Ford Mach-E Premium AWD 4P, you can have one for $307 a month for 36 months… after you put down $5,516. Or, you can go for one of the new Chevrolet EVs, the Blazer or Equinox EV. For a 2024 Equinox EV 2LT FWD, buyers can pay $299 per month for 24 months with $3,169 down or $369 per month for 24 months with $3,139 due at signing for a Blazer EV LT eAWD.

What Are You Really Paying For?

All of these lease “specials” beg the question: what are you really paying for? While each one of the previously mentioned EVs are nice vehicles, can you truly say you are getting more vehicle for your money? It doesn’t seem like it.

We look forward to serving you.

Why Leasing An EV Makes Dollars And Cents

There are many opinions about leasing versus buying, and both have merits. However, buying a new electric vehicle is not always the best decision, as this article will discuss. VinFast is a young company, especially here in the United States, and while they are building and advancing at a high rate, that is one of the reasons why leasing is the better option for new VinFast customers.

Tax Credits

One constant, regardless of whether you purchase or lease a car, is that you will still be eligible for any state and federal tax incentives offered to EV customers. So, the $7,500 federal tax credit and whatever state tax credits are offered are available to customers buying or leasing a new electric car.

Faster Advancements Than Ever Before

The main reason experts advise customers to lease an EV instead of buying comes down to one simple reason: battery technology. There was a time when advancements in battery technology took a decade or more. But these days, every 3-5 years, there are significant shifts in battery performance, cooling, range, cost, and even charging speeds and capacities.

Quality and Reliability Standards

Along with technology seeing faster leaps forward, so do production standards and quality control issues. Young electric cars used to have body panel fitment issues, and there were some reliability concerns and frustrations when it came to interior quality. Now, though, panel fitment issues are mostly a thing of the past, and overall interior reliability and quality are way up. New EV customers are constantly raving about the comfort and vast amounts of interior space that just isn’t possible in a conventional gas-powered car due to transmission tunnels, large engine bays, etc., needed to house all of the things that make an internal combustion engine car work.

Design Evolution

Another luxury of modern EVs is the constant evolution of designs. Lots of electric cars of the past were either former gas engine cars with batteries transplanted into them, or they were new designs without any real character that made people fall in love with them. A mainstay of car culture is the look and appeal of a car’s style. People always talk about the beautiful and creative designs of cars from the 1950s and ‘60s, but no one talks about a 2010 Tesla. However, that is changing. VinFast products have a soulful style and presence, and the VF7, VF8, and VF9 each have their unique way of making new customers fall in love with their vehicle as they walk up to it.

VinFast Will Make You Fall In Love

It has long been said that you can tell a car is beautiful by how many times you turn around to look at it as you walk away. The VinFast line of SUVs builds on that ethos in the EV world. And thanks to great lease specials, you can rest assured that there are plenty of advancements in technology and features that will keep you a VinFast client for years to come.

We look forward to serving you.
