Many EVs seemingly have so many options and trim levels that it can be a nightmare to decipher the differences. Oftentimes you’re looking at one trim level that is priced too high for you, wishing the trim below had one or two of the options you want. This isn’t the case with the VinFast VF8 as it has two trim levels, Eco and Plus. Both offer similar features with some differences. If you’re trying to decide between the two, let’s break them down.

What Both Trim Levels Have in Common 

 

First, let’s talk about the things that both trims have. The 2025 VinFast VF8 Eco and Plus share the same dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup with an 87.7-kWh battery pack. They both offer 48 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and an extra 2.7 cubic feet in the front trunk (frunk). Both have a standard Head-Up Display (HUD) and can tow up to 4,000 pounds when properly equipped. The VF8 can charge from 10%-70% in just 31 minutes on a Level 3 fast charger.

Better Standard Features than any set of EV SUVs Around 

 

Both models feature excellent ways to charge devices, with four total USB-A ports (two front and rear) and a single USB-C port that charges up to 90 watts. They offer a 15.6-inch touchscreen display that handles all of the functions for the car and also displays movies from Sony RIDEVU when parked. With the in-car WiFi hotspot, passengers can use a smartphone, tablet, or laptop to connect to the internet and watch up to 2,000 shows and movies from Sony Pictures Entertainment.  

VF8 Eco  

 

The 2025 Eco starts from $39,900 (not including any other fees) and has 349 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. It has an EPA-estimated range of 256 miles on a single charge and can get from 0-60 mph in 5.9 seconds, according to VinFast. Even as a base model, the VF8 Eco has 19-inch wheels, where most EVs that are priced to appease will have 18s.

Eco Interior Features 

 

For under $40 grand you get vegan leather seats with an eight-way power and heated driver seat and a six-way power and heated front passenger seat. The steering wheel is also heated and is four-way manually adjustable. An eight-speaker sound system is also standard for Eco models.  

VF8 Plus 

 

The 2025 Plus model is priced from $44,900 (again, not including any fees) and has 402 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque with an estimated range of 235 miles. VinFast says the Plus model will get to 60 mph in under 5.5 seconds (a bit faster than the more range-conscious Eco). Stepping up to the Plus adds standard 20-inch wheels and a Panoramic sunroof.

Plus Interior Features 

 

While vegan leather is standard in the Eco, the Plus model gets premium vegan leather with a 12-way power, heated, and ventilated driver seat and a 10-way power, heated, and ventilated front passenger seat. The heated steering wheel has four-way power adjustability. The Plus has memory functions for the driver and auto-dimming side mirrors. When you are ready to bump some tunes on your drive or listen to the sweet sounds of a Sony RIDEVU movie or show when parked, the Plus has a 10-speaker premium sound system with an added subwoofer.  

 

No Warranty Like a VinFast Warranty 

 

While you decide on which trim level is best for your budget and needs, there is one thing you will not have to decide on. Each new VinFast comes with a 10-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty with the added bonus of a 10-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty. Talk about peace of mind.

HUD Comes Standard

VinFast VF8 Head Up Display Windshield View

VinFast VF8 Head Up Display Windshield ViewVinFast 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. 

Vinfast Head Up Display AdjustabilityStandard 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. 

Head Up Display in Vinfast FeaturesAdvanced 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.

Vinfast HUD DisplayThe 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.

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.
