VinFast VF8 Offers Lowest Barrier of Entry into the EV World

When it comes to buying your first electric vehicle, there are tons of options on the market and lots of information to digest, including trim levels, setups (single, dual, or tri-motor), charging speeds, and the like. EVs can also be expensive because the technology is still new. And there is always the question, “Is the $7,500 tax credit a discount when I buy the car?” This is where VinFast has made it easier for buyers to understand what they are getting with their VF8s.

With the VF8 customers are getting one battery, an 87.7-kWh dual-motor setup. With nearly every EV there is a choice of either two-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The VF8 is simply all-wheel drive. Most EVs also have half a dozen or so trim levels with a multitude of packages. Not so with the VinFast. There are two trim levels, Eco and Plus. There aren’t really any packages. Both models sport Head-Up Display (HUD) as standard, a 15.6-inch infotainment touchscreen display, Sony RIDEVU in-car entertainment, every safety feature imaginable, 11 airbags, camp mode, and more.

The only differences between the two trim levels are power and range. The Eco has 349 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque with 264 miles of driving range, and the Plus has 402 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque with 243 miles of range. Both models can charge from 10 to 70 percent of battery capacity in just 35 minutes on a Level 3 DC fast charger, which means you can go shopping or grab a bite to eat with friends while your car charges—no need to make time during your day to stop at gas stations or forget to get gas before you get home only to realize in the morning that you’re now going to be late for work.

Throw in the fantastic VinFast mobile app, and you will see why customers are starting to understand what makes VinFast so great. With the app you can schedule and check on the status of your car when it’s in for service. Unlike most other EV car companies’ apps, this one allows you to save your payment details to be used at nearly every different paid charging station. Most companies force you to download their specific app to pay for charging, potentially exposing your private information if their systems are ever hacked. VinFast makes it so that you can use almost any charger out there by just using its app to pay.

VinFast also offers its own home charger that is very easy to use and have installed. The company’s charger offers 12 kW, or 240 volts and 50 amps, of max power that will easily charge your car’s battery without any issues while you relax in your home. Plus, you can check the charging status on the mobile app. You can even set up what times you’d like the battery to start charging and when you want it fully charged by.

To get your own VinFast VF8, the company is currently offering the most competitive leasing specials to help you see the true value of its car. The VF8 Eco will run you just $279 per month for 24 months with $974 due before you drive off. Or, if you would like the top Plus trim, that will cost only $1,024 down with a $329 monthly payment for 24 months.

VinFast also offers the best warranty in the whole automotive industry with a ten-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a ten-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty. There is currently no company making an EV that this level of confidence in its vehicles—not even Tesla.

VinFast VF8 Interior Prioritizes the Driver

Cars in the modern era feature so many different distractions for drivers. There’s an infotainment screen, sometimes a thousand buttons, or an extra screen in place of the buttons. Then, there is an entire gauge cluster display, a thousand chimes, and bongs that all mean something different. The VinFast VF8, however, prioritizes the driver and their comfort.

One Screen to Rule Them All

Instead of a mile of displays across the dashboard, the VF8 gives the driver and passenger just one screen to worry about, a standard 15.6-inch touchscreen display that not only shows all of the pertinent information while driving but also the ability to customize the display and what apps and widgets you prefer to be displayed and where on the screen. It is very much like an iPhone or Android smartphone. This way, you know exactly where to reach when you need to go into a program like your navigation maps or search through your podcasts and music.

HUD Is Standard Here

Also standard on all VinFast VF8 trim levels is a beautiful head-up display that gives drivers precisely what they need to see. This includes the vehicle’s speed, range, navigation information, and more. A HUD is the ultimate safety feature that so few EVs include. For instance, Rivian, VW, and others do not offer a head-up as standard, nor is it even an optional extra on any of their electric models. Statistically speaking, when there is less need to look around the cabin of your vehicle or just glance down at your speed for a second, there are fewer chances that you will be involved in a traffic accident.

Sony RIDEVU

Another feature that is overlooked is in-car entertainment. With RIDEVU by Sony Pictures Entertainment, your VF8 becomes a movie theater for all occupants. If the vehicle is parked, you can watch up to 2,000 different Sony movies and TV shows right on the in-car display. While driving, passengers can use the in-car WiFi to access the RIDEVU app on their phone, tablet, or laptop to watch content. Another fact is that there is less noise and distractions from passengers, which also drastically reduces the number of accidents on the roads.

We look forward to serving you.

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.
