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.
