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.

Building Playlists and Enjoyment for Roadtrips with your Family

VinFast VF8 Interior Infotainment HUD Heads Up Display

Are we there yet? It’s the old line used by every kid driving down the road in the back seat of their parents’ car. It was such a ubiquitous question that it was turned into a pair of movies and a TV show that ran for three seasons on TBS. There may not be anything more frustrating than the backseaters asking this question while you are trying to concentrate and just get to the destination. This is why modern cars, like the VinFast VF8 and VF9, make trips more pleasurable with music playlists and some video entertainment.

Think back before the days of streaming and try to remember how glorious it was to pack a bunch of mix tapes and mix CDs. The night before, you frantically made sure you had all of the songs you thought you might want to listen to burned to a CD or copied to a tape. And then came CD changers that allowed you to stock six or more CDs that you could quickly and easily switch between. While VinFast doesn’t offer CD changers in its vehicles, the two models do have the ability to stream music, movies, and TV shows very easily.

The beauty of modern streaming is that no matter what you use, whether it be Apple Music, Google Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, and the like, you have everything at your fingertips. And with the ability for multiple phones to be paired at the same time, drivers and passengers can each have turns with the “aux cable,” as the kids say.

When driving long distances, it is important to keep things upbeat, so songs like “Life is a Highway” by either Tom Cochrane or Rascal Flatts are good ways to start your journey. From there, it’s always good to throw a little “Happy” by Pharrell in there, too. Some people will want some Katy Perry and Justin Timberlake, but don’t forget the classics like “ABC” by The Jackson 5, “Sir Duke” by Stevie Wonder, “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, and of course “September” by Earth, Wind & Fire. Just remember to keep it fresh, family-friendly, and fun. The key is to get everyone to join in on the fun.

When the sing-a-longs get a little told, then it’s time to let your passengers settle down and enjoy Sony RIDEVU, the exclusive feature that allows everyone in your VinFast that’s attached to the in-car WiFi (or on the 15.6-inch infotainment screen when parked) access to 2,000 movies and shows in the Sony Pictures Entertainment library. Some of these include classics like RV with Robin Williams, Cheryl Hines, Jeff Daniels, Will Arnett, Josh Hutcherson, Kristin Chenoweth, JoJo, and more. The film is about a family who rents an RV to travel to Colorado on a family trip, only for pretty much everything possible to go wrong in hilarious fashion.

Why a VF8 Is the Perfect Car for a College Student

Buying 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.

Free 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.

The 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.

The 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.

Safety 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.

The Time Is Now

What exactly are you waiting for? The VF8 is the absolute best car you can get for your student-to-be, and Ewing VinFast of Plano is the place to go to get your new car.

We look forward to serving you.

Autoweek Gets Behind the Wheel of the VinFast VF9

The VinFast VF9 is just starting to arrive at Ewing VinFast of Plano, which means that car journalists are also getting their chances to get behind the wheel to witness one of the first new automotive companies delivering cars to America in our lifetime. The VF9 is the latest and only true three-row EV SUV on the market, and it is already being viewed as a viable option for buyers who need a vehicle with at least six proper seats.

A Review by AutoWeek

Recently, AutoWeek had the opportunity to get behind the wheel of a 2025 VF9 before it was delivered to a customer. They found the packaging and build quality quite good, which is saying a lot for a brand-new vehicle from a young car company. While the publication didn’t have a ton of time, they did have enough to take it for a good drive and sit in all of the seats while testing some of the features.

Power and Trim Levels

Even though the VF9 is brand new, VinFast has made sure to give customers a vehicle that won’t confuse or intimidate them. While most car companies offer their cars with a dozen trim levels and a thousand options, VinFast has chosen to keep it simple with just two trims for its models: the Eco and Plus. Eco will achieve 330 miles of range, with the Plus model delivering 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. Almost every EV on the market offers a single motor with either front- or rear-wheel drive as standard, with dual motors and all-wheel drive being optional.

Unique Door Handles That Are Better Than a Tesla

Auto brands developing EVs are constantly trying to find new ways to engineer a vehicle with less aerodynamic drag. Less drag equals better range because the car is less encumbered by air resistance. This has led to the creation of pop-out handles in various fashions. One of the types that tends not to work as well are the handles on Tesla. AutoWeek immediately noticed how VinFast took a more innovative and less bothersome approach to their handles, saying, “When I went to drive the VF 9, the first thing I appreciated was the flip-out door handles. Push on one end, the handle pops out, and you open the door. It’s a clever way to reduce aerodynamic drag without resorting to Tesla’s pop-out electric door handles.”

Standard Head-Up Display

The VF9, like any modern car, features a host of technology and safety features. However, one thing VinFast ensures is standard on both the VF8 and VF9, no matter the trim, is the Head-Up Display (HUD). It’s very rare that any car, especially an EV, has this even as an option. AutoWeek was noticeably appreciative of the tech, saying, “In front of me, the head-up display was impressive, with numerous data sets available in a sharply focused, helpful display at the base of the driver’s field of view. A 15.6-inch infotainment touchscreen worked well in the very brief time I had to try and sort it out. It also supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wirelessly.”

Reasonable Performance

Modern EVs tend to focus too much on speed and performance to try and lure customers through the door. Instead of showing off the great experience they’ll have driving the car, automakers tend to convince buyers the car is great because of the speed. The VF9 is not a speed demon, but it will get out of its own way quite easily. The biggest thing is that VinFast wows with tech, safety, and a warranty that’s second to none. However, when it came time to drive the VF9 and use the power it has, the publication said, “Acceleration was more than adequate from the VF 9’s combined output of 402 hp and 457 lb-ft of torque from its dual electric motors … VinFast lists a 0-62 mph time of 6.6 seconds for the Eco trim and 6.7 for the PLUS. Top speed is 124 mph (which I didn’t verify).”

Sony RIDEVU

One of the single best things about the VF9 is the inclusion of Sony RIDEVU. Sony Pictures Entertainment and VinFast have partnered to bring RIDEVU to VinFast customers free of charge. This gives occupants 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 also 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.

Amazing Safety Features

Safety is the name of the game these days, as well it should be. Cars are getting bigger, faster, and more usable. It makes sense that they protect occupants as much as possible. The VF9 offers tons of standard safety features such as 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 Best Warranty in the World

Probably the single most significant aspect of the VF9 is its warranties. While most EVs carry a five—or ten-year warranty for the car and battery system, the VinFast VF8 and VF9 are the only vehicles with a 10-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a 10-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty. This provides the ultimate peace of mind to anyone buying their first VinFast.

YouTube Tech Reviewer Impressed with his VinFast Ownership Experience

More tech reviewers are getting behind the wheels of various electric cars, and while most of them have been big fans of Teslas and the like for some time now, some of them have started opening their minds to newer vehicles like the VinFast VF8. Mark Linsangan, a tech YouTuber with over 150,000 subscribers and a Tesla Model 3 owner, recently took a VF8 for a spin and explained why it may very well be his next car purchase.

A Tech Reviewer Who Likes Cars

Since Mark isn’t a car reviewer, he has a unique perspective from the tech side of things. This also means that he isn’t jaded or cynical when reviewing the VinFast. Instead of approaching the review like a professional car reviewer who has driven hundreds of vehicles, Mark sees the VF8 as something that needs to fit his technological lifestyle.

A Tesla Owner Who Loves the VF8

Because Mark leases a Tesla Model 3, he brings a unique perspective and finds multiple things that he prefers about the VF8. One thing includes the 360-degree camera view, along with the ability to switch the camera view angles. There’s even a tow view that makes it easier to line up and back your VinFast up to whatever you want to tow. Mark remarked how his Tesla does not have the ability to see 360 degrees around the car; the VF8 has this as standard on the base Eco trim. He also loved the fact that under 9 mph, the front camera will automatically display an image of the left or right on the screen, depending on which turn signal you have on.

The Perfect Infotainment and HUD Displays

The wonderful and bright 15.6-inch infotainment touchscreen also doubles as your gauge cluster. As a professional tech reviewer, Mark Linsangan gets to see dozens of devices with amazing screens every year, from laptops to tablets and, of course, smartphones. So when he says that the “massive” and bright infotainment screen and head-up display (HUD) are some of his favorite features, he means it. He loved the standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, something Tesla doesn’t offer in its cars. He especially appreciated the turn-by-turn navigation popping up on the HUD to keep your eyes on the road. Mark called it all a seamless operation. He noted that the wireless charger did not have a problem with phones that have big camera bumps.

Charge All Devices from Anywhere in the Car

Next on his list was the fact that you can charge so many devices at once. There are two USB-C ports for the driver and front passenger, and two more for rear occupants. There’s also a 90-watt charging port in the rear of the VF8 between the air vents and other ports. This setup makes it convenient to charge power-hungry laptops and other devices easily from any seat in the car.

VinFast Is Listening and Making Meaningful Updates

Since Mark was able to drive one of the first-ever production VF8 models from last year, he lauded VinFast for listening to customer feedback and providing this latest model with excellent updates, including the great throttle response, sharper suspension with better turning characteristics, and a much more comfortable and smoother ride over any type of surface, especially rough pavement.

The Best Warranty and Lease Prices Around

By far Mark’s favorite features of the VF8 are the amazing lease specials along with the unbeatable warranty. We have talked a lot about how the VinFast warranty is the best in the business with a ten-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a ten-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty. To lease a VinFast VF8 Eco, all you need to do is hand over $974 and you can drive away paying just $279 per month for 24 months. If you would like the top Plus trim, that will cost just $1,024 down with a $329 monthly payment for 24 months.
