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

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.
