Building Playlists and Enjoyment for Roadtrips with your Family

VinFast VF8 Interior Infotainment HUD Heads Up Display

VinFast VF8 Interior Infotainment HUD Heads Up DisplayAre 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.  

VinFast VF8 Plus Navigation and Apple CarPlay

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.  

Apple CarPlay Music Interface

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.  

Spotify Connect Playlist 

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.  

VinFast VF8 Touchscreen Infotainment

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

2025 VinFast VF8 Driving on the Road

2025 VinFast VF8 Driving on the RoadBuying 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.  

VinFast College Campus Charging StationFree 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.  

VinFast VF8 Interior Infotainment HUD, Heads Up DisplayThe 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.  

VinFast VF8 Panoramic RoofThe 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.  

VinFast VF8 AirbagsSafety 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.
