VinFast Modern Production Line

Designing, engineering, and manufacturing cars is not an easy thing to do. It is a time-consuming, demanding, and expensive process from start to finish. As a young company just starting, it can also be challenging to find qualified and loyal employees who can do their best to make the right product. VinFast is rapidly becoming known for its modern production line, which features fewer people and more robots to help streamline the production process.

New Massive Production Facility

In September 2017, VinFast opened its state-of-the-art 828-acre manufacturing plant, where roughly 90% of its automotive production is automated. This plant, in particular, will serve as the main production headquarters for years to come, with the goal of producing 950,000 vehicles by 2026.

Robots Save Time and Money

People mess up; it is a natural part of being human. However, robots do not. While there still needs to be employees at VinFast factories who help to design software and input information that tells the robots what to do, ultimately, they are perfect in their execution of a given task. Plus, it can save time and money when retooling or adjusting manufacturing techniques for new models or simple model changes and modifications.

Fewer People Means Fewer Injuries

Because of the streamlined process of robot production, VinFast is hoping for, and so far succeeding at, having fewer production issues, which will often wreak havoc on a young or small car company and even larger companies during the first year of a new model. Fewer people on the production line also means a much lower rate of incidents where someone could get injured. Automotive manufacturing facilities are filled with heavy machinery that is constantly moving. There are heavy vehicles going through the assembly process. Accidents happen. With robots, that isn’t as much of an issue.

New Production Facilities

As of now, all current vehicle production is taking place in Haiphong, Vietnam, with battery production in Ha Tinh, Vietnam. VinFast is also expanding a new production facility in North Carolina. The capacity to manufacture up to 150,000 vehicles per year in America will greatly assist VinFast in achieving its future goals and success.

At Ewing VinFast of Plano, we have the best prices on dozens of new VinFast EVs and used cars. Our well-educated sales staff and finance department will happily assist you with your EV questions and needs. Our fantastic service department will ensure your vehicle stays in the best condition.

We look forward to serving you.

HUD Comes Standard

VinFast VF8 Head Up Display Windshield View

VinFast doesn’t believe in pricing people out of having the best available tech in their cars, which is why the 2024 VinFast VF8 and VF9 offer heads-up display, or HUD, as standard on both the Eco and Plus trim levels. This way, drivers will be able to see all the pertinent information while they are driving. No need to look at the big, beautiful 15.9-inch infotainment display to see your speed, navigation, and vehicle range, among other features. Sadly, many automakers force you to buy higher-trim models to get such a heads-up display.

Standard For Safety

Not only does VinFast believe that HUD is a great feature, but they also agree that it should be standard simply from a safety standpoint. The facts show that the less you look away from the road, the fewer accidents and incidents will happen. Just taking your eyes off the road in front of you for a split second can cause your vehicle to travel ever so slightly into the next lane, causing you to potentially overreact and have an accident. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says that more than 3,000 people are killed each year in traffic accidents that stem from distracted driving, which is any moment when your attention and eyes are diverted away from looking at the road ahead of you.

Standard For Convenience

Not only is having a HUD about safety, but it’s also a major convenience. How many times have you been using navigation while driving, noticed a road alert ahead of you, and that your system is trying to take you in a different direction? With a heads-up display, you don’t have to look at the infotainment display to see what’s going on and if you must immediately make a lane change or turn at this traffic light or the next one. With the heads-up display, all of that information is displayed right in front of you, so you don’t have to panic or worry that you won’t make your exit or turn.

Advanced Safety Features

Including the standard heads-up display, the VF8 and VF9 also feature a ton of advanced safety features that include 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 Best Warranty

The exclusive warranty, which is second to none, is also a unique feature when buying a VinFast electric vehicle. Every vehicle comes with a 10-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a 10-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty. Both warranties can be transferred to the next owner if you decide to sell or trade your car or if owners decide to hand their VinFast down to their children as a safe, reliable electric vehicle. The pair of 10-year warranties also entitles customers to free 24/7 mobile service.

An App To Make Life Easier

Customers will also love the VinFast mobile app available for Apple and Android devices. The app allows owners to schedule service appointments, check the status of their booking, as well as approve any potential repairs that need to be done. In addition to service and warranty features, the mobile app allows owners to plan a trip that will enable them to easily find chargers on the way, pay for charging built into the app, and check the state of charge.

We look forward to serving you.

What Are The Details Of The VinFast 10-year 125K Mile Warranty?

VinFast offers the absolute best warranty on all of their new cars. When compared with other legacy automakers, you would think such a young company wouldn’t be willing or able to guarantee their batteries’ overall quality and performance. While buying an electric vehicle is a learning experience when it comes to purchasing or leasing based on range, features, options, style, and, of course, warranty, VinFast aims to put customers at ease knowing they are taken care of.

A Decade With Two Warranties

Whether you are looking at the soon-to-be-released VF7, VF9, or the currently available VF8, every new car has a 10-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a 10-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty. Both of these warranties are transferable to the next owner should you choose to sell or trade your car or if owners decide to hand their VinFast down to their children for a safe, reliable electric vehicle. The pair of 10-year warranties also entitles customers to free 24/7 mobile service.

All-Encompassing Mobile App

The all-in-one VinFast mobile app for Apple and Android devices allows owners to schedule service appointments, check the status of their booking, as well as approve any potential repairs that need to be done. In addition to service and warranty features, the mobile app also allows owners to plan a trip that will enable them to easily find chargers on the way, pay for charging built into the app, as well as check the state of charge.

Comparing The Coverage To Others

When comparing the VinFast warranty coverage to other automakers, you will see that all EV models on the market have a pretty good warranty. The best you will see from most EVs from Chevrolet, Acura, Mercedes-Benz, Kia, Hyundai, Volkswagen, Honda, Audi, Jaguar, and the like, is about 4-5 years up to about 60,000 miles of bumper-to-bumper coverage and ten years or up to 155,000 miles of warranty for the battery system. Every VinFast model comes with a 10-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty with a 10-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty. There is no EV company quite like VinFast when it comes to taking care of customers’ needs in the next decade.

We look forward to serving you.

The VinFast VF8 Against The Rest

Even though the 2024 VinFast VF8 is new to the market, it has plenty of tricks up its sleeve and a lot of great standard features that put it right up against some of the best electric vehicles out today. With good power, features, and technology for a good price, the VF8 may be new, but it’s mature.

Features Like No Other

Buying a new EV can be daunting for newcomers to the electric car world. There are lots of options from many automakers. The VinFast VF8 has a base price of $47,325, with fully loaded models hitting $55,000, which is the price of some base EVs in this segment. There are a host of brilliant safety and technology features, including being the only vehicle in its class with Sony RIDEVU, a revolutionary way to watch over 2,000 Sony movies on your car’s infotainment screen or your smartphone.

Standard AWD and Dual Motors

Each VF8 model, whether you buy the Eco or Plus trim, comes with standard all-wheel drive and an 87.7 kWh dual-motor battery system. All-wheel drive and a dual-motor battery pack are optional on the new Honda Prologue, Hyundai IONIQ 5 and 6, Kona, Kia EV6, Volkswagen ID.4, and the Chevrolet Blazer EV. Once you option all-wheel drive and two motors, all of those cars also have a higher base price than the VF8.

A Superior Price and Features Than The Volkswagen ID.4

The VinFast VF8 has a good amount of range for buyers, with the base model having an EPA-estimated 264 miles, which is quite a bit more than the standard Volkswagen ID.4 with just 209 miles and rear-wheel drive. If you want all-wheel drive, ID.4 buyers have to spend roughly an extra $10,000, and the range only jumps to 263. The ID.4 with all-wheel drive has a base MSRP of $50,180 before any options are added, which is about $3,000 more than a well-optioned VF8. Unlike the Volkswagen, which can only tow up to 2,700 lbs in higher trim levels, all VF8 models can tow up to 4,000 lbs when properly equipped.

Faster Than Most For Less

The VinFast is not meant to be a speed demon like some EVs out there. However, it still will get up and go, with a 0-60 mph time of just 5.0 seconds, which is not only faster than the previously mentioned Volkswagen ID.4’s 7.3 seconds, but also quicker than the Hyundai IONIQ 5, IONIQ 6, and Kona EV, as well as the Chevrolet Blazer EV RS’s 6.0 seconds. Amazingly, the VinFast is less expensive than the Chevy’s base price of over $50,000 before adding any options. The VF8 comes standard with a head-up display. However, that is a $2,620 option for the Blazer EV.

Premium Without The Price

The new 2024 Acura ZDX has 278 miles of EV range, which is a little more than the VinFast VF8’s 264 miles. However, the base model’s $64,500 starting price is $18,000 premium, so is that really worth 14 extra miles?

A Warranty That’s Second To None

All of the EV models on the market have a pretty good warranty. The best you will see from most EVs from Chevrolet, Acura, Mercedes-Benz, Kia, Hyundai, Volkswagen, Honda, Audi, Jaguar, and the like is about 4-5 years up to about 60,000 miles of bumper-to-bumper coverage and ten years or up to 155,000 miles of warranty for the battery system. Every VinFast model comes with a 10-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a 10-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty. That is the pièce de résistance that absolutely no one can compete with.

We look forward to serving you.

Vinfast Becomes World’s First To Launch Sony’s In-Car Entertainment Service

VinFast Auto is on course to become one of the world’s fastest-growing and best electric vehicle manufacturers.

Over 2,000 Movies

Those who want to watch the latest movie releases can do so with redeemed credits, which can be purchased or rented via the app.

Multiple Ways To Watch

All passengers can stream the same or different content to their iPhone or Android device while in the car. If the vehicle is parked, then the content can be streamed on the central display for all to see.

A Word From Sony

Echoing Mr. Duncan’s statement, Pete Wood, SVP, Digital Sales, Distribution, Sony Pictures Entertainment said, “Sony Pictures is excited to be working with VinFast for the debut of the RIDEVU service.
