How to Car Camp with Your VinFast

If you are an avid camping enthusiast or are interested in doing some more outdoor activities in the near future, there is no better option than an all-electric vehicle like the VinFast VF8 and VF9. Both VinFast models come equipped with Camp Mode that allows for the LED parking lights to be illuminated and uses low amounts of energy from the battery system to power the sound system for a late night hang out session.

Using Camp Mode

Using Camp Mode in your VinFast makes it easy to bring lights and music to your outdoor hangout without draining the battery. Owners can also utilize the vehicle’s in-car WiFi to use Sony RIDEVU to watch 2,000 different movies and TV shows owned by Sony Entertainment.

Enabling Camp Mode

To enable this mode, you can either use the 15.6-inch touchscreen or the VinFast mobile app. If you are in your car, make sure you have Park (P) selected and the electronic parking brake engaged. According to VinFast, the battery must be above 25% state of charge. On the touchscreen, touch Quick Controls on the screen and select Camp Mode. When you are ready to turn this mode off, simply tap Exit Camp Mode, located above the overhead view of the vehicle on the left of the screen. If your vehicle’s battery drops below 15%, Camp Mode will automatically be deactivated.

You Don’t Have to be Camping to Enjoy Camp Mode

The beauty of this mode is that you don’t even have to be camping to use it. Say you’re at a friend’s house and he or she is having a bonfire. Or maybe you’re at an outdoor event and the sound system goes out and you have the only non-gas vehicle that won’t kill its battery by using the sound system for the next couple of hours. Better yet, let’s say you and your friends are out at the beach having a nice, peaceful evening. There’s nothing better than crashing waves and the subtle sounds of great tunes while your pathway is illuminated thanks to your EV’s low-energy LED lighting.

The World’s Best Warranty

Don’t forget, your VinFast VF8 or VF9 has the world’s strongest and best vehicle protection plan with a 10-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a 10-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty. You can’t go wrong there. And with amazing lease specials for both cars, there is no better time to get into a VinFast. Ewing VinFast of Plano looks forward to taking care of your needs.

VinFast VF 9 Lease Adds Free $2,600 E-Bike Deal

The VinFast VF9 provides EV customers with one of the few true 3-row all-electric SUVs, an extremely great warranty, excellent lease pricing, and some of the best standard equipment on any new vehicle. Now, when leasing your VF9, you can also add a VinFast DrgnFly e-bike to your purchase and bring it with you on trips and vacations to use for quick trips.

A Truly Unique Lease Special

For just $599 per month for 24 months, you can lease a brand new VF9 and get the DrgnFly e-bike as part of a lease special. The VinFast DrgnFly features a 750-watt electric motor with a 48-volt lithium-ion battery and has a top speed of 28 mph over 68 miles in Eco mode or 32 miles when ridden at full throttle. If you and your family tend to vacation around campgrounds or beach towns, this e-bike is the perfect way to add an extra mode of transportation when exploring, going to the store to get some snacks, or even just going to a local coffee shop.

An e-bike Like No Other

The DrgnFly comes with a 150-watt portable charger that can recharge the e-bike to full in just 4-6 hours. You can even remove the battery to charge it inside your work or anywhere while you’re on the go. This way, you don’t have to fear your e-bike being stolen while it’s charging.

A Better Way to Ride

VinFast says the e-bike weighs 50 lbs and is crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum with wide handlebars and 20×4-inch balloon tires for extra comfort and riding stability. The hydraulic disc brakes are meant to work great in all riding conditions, even when it’s raining, and the bike is equipped with front and rear LED lights and integrated reflectors. This means you don’t have to worry if you decide to ride at night. The DrgnFly also has a mode called Pedal-Assist, which allows you to pedal the e-bike while riding to get in a bit of a workout. VinFast offers the DrgnFly with a 2-year, unlimited-mile warranty.

Battery Pack and Performance

The 2025 VF9 is available in Eco or Plus trim levels and starts from around $71,000. Eco models have a driving range of 330 miles, and Plus models offer 291 miles. Both trims come standard with all-wheel drive and a 123-kWh battery pack that delivers 402 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque. VinFast says the VF9, with its powerful battery, can get from 0-60 mph in just 6.5 seconds. The VF9 also comes standard with a Head-Up Display (HUD), something most EVs don’t even offer as an option. A HUD is a brilliant safety feature that allows drivers to keep their eyes on the road and still be able to see navigation information, range, music, and more.

Standard Sony RIDEVU

Unlike any other current EV on the road, the VF9 also offers Sony RIDEVU. Sony Pictures Entertainment and VinFast have partnered to bring RIDEVU to VinFast customers free of charge. RIDEVU brings 2000 Sony movies and TV shows to your VinFast for free. They can be watched on the in-car 15.6-inch infotainment display or on any device attached to the in-car WiFi. If you need to charge your device, VinFast added multiple USB-A ports and a 90-watt USB-C port to make sure everyone has the ability to stay charged and connected.

Excellent Safety

Safety is far and away the most important feature of any new car these days, and the VF9 doesn’t disappoint. With 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 driver and all occupants can feel safe knowing their VinFast has them protected.

The Best Warranty You’ll Ever Find

One big reason why buyers are switching to the VinFast VF8 and VF9 is the greatest vehicle warranty of any car in the world. Most EVs carry a five—or ten-year warranty for the car and battery system. All VinFast models offer as standard a 10-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a 10-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty. Even if you lease the vehicle and decide to buy it after the lease is up, you will still have 8 years of warranty left. There is no other car company that does that.

We look forward to serving you.

First-Time Electric Car Driver? Here’s What You Need to Know

Some people find it quite daunting to go from one car to another, so it’s natural that some would even be worried about moving from a gas-powered car to an electric vehicle. After all, if you’ve only been used to pulling up to a gas station, pumping gas, and then driving home, it makes sense to be a little nervous about the adjustment to buying an all-electric VinFast VF8 or VF9. However, it won’t stay that way for long as you will get used to the new norms of an EV.

Wait A Second… Where Is the Shifter?

A VinFast doesn’t have a shifter. Instead, the VF8 has buttons for Park, Neutral, Reverse, and Drive where the shifter would be to make the transition easier and more comfortable. In most EVs, you just get in and either press a start/stop button or just put your foot on the accelerator pedal and go on about your day. VinFast, however, is committed to making the move to EV simple.

Immediate Torque

Once you start driving, you’ll notice an immediate surge of power and torque. Unlike an I.C.E. (internal combustion engine) car, there is no pause between pushing the gas pedal and the movement of the vehicle. So, be careful. Push that pedal a little softer for the first few hundred miles to allow yourself time to get used to the instant performance.

Range Anxiety

As you drive, though, you will start seeing your range go down. Like any car, your driving range is a product of how you drive. Drive more relaxed and don’t do a bunch of 0-60 launches, and you can count on a steady driving range. Treat every traffic light as a drag strip tree, and you will see that range fall quite a bit. The common term for watching your range drop as you drive and being worried about running out of charge before getting to a charger is called “range anxiety.” While gas stations are still more prominent, there are EV chargers nearly everywhere at this point, especially when traveling on the highway. Any time you input a destination into your navigation, your VinFast will route your trip to keep you close enough to chargers every step of the way. So, while range anxiety was a really big deal 10-15 years ago, it’s much less of an issue now.

Regenerative Braking

One of the beauties of having an electric car is using one-pedal driving, which means you rarely have to touch the brake pedal. Instead, because electricity is an on-off thing, once you take your foot off the accelerator pedal, no energy is used to move the car. The brake lights come on automatically, and the vehicle starts to slow down as if you were tapping the brakes. Whenever you take your foot off the throttle or push the brake pedal, you are using Regenerative Braking. Regenerative braking captures the energy lost while braking and sends it back to the vehicle’s battery system to recover the energy. Driving in stop-and-go traffic can actually help to increase your vehicle’s range.

A Quiet Place

The final point to make about what you need to get used to when owning your first EV is silence. EVs are much, much quieter than gas-powered cars because there is less noise being made within the vehicle. In fact, tire manufacturers and VinFast engineers have developed parts of the car to be less noisy so as not to disturb you in the cabin. So, you will notice less harsh road noises from the tires, less wind noise, and the like. But this could lead to you getting annoyed with how hard people breathe in the passenger seat… something you didn’t notice before you got an EV.

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.
