The VinFast VF9, prepared by the Italian design firm Pininfarina, is an electric SUV that provides both style and substance. It has a range of up to 330 miles on a single charge, making it applicable for long trips as well as daily rides either for work or errands. The vehicle is made to compete with both new electric models from startups and established automakers.
VinFast, originally from Vietnam but now headquartered in Singapore, is expanding globally. The VF9, comparable in size to the Kia Telluride, provides spacious three-row seating, making it a realistic choice for families or groups needing extra space and electric efficiency.
Launch
The VinFast VF9 made its debut at the Shanghai Auto Show, standing as its debut in the global market. It's sold alongside the smaller VF8, and both are part of VinFast's push into the electric vehicle market. Initially manufactured in Vietnam, plans are in place to start production in North Carolina by 2024 to cater to the American market, and now it has reached the Philippine shore as well. The vehicle comes in Eco and Plus trims, with the Eco version offering the longest range and the Plus version adding more luxury features like a panoramic roof and leather upholstery.
Platform, Chassis and Powertrain
The VF9 is built on an electric vehicle platform, which supports its all-electric powertrain. This platform is engineered to accommodate a dual-motor setup that provides all-wheel drive and a total power output of 402 horsepower. Such a configuration guarantees that the vehicle will perform strongly, which is appropriate for a vehicle of its size, with an acceleration capability that is expected to be competitive in its class.
VinFast estimates the VF9 can accelerate from 0 to 60 kph in about 6.3 seconds. The vehicle also employs a large 123.0-kWh battery pack, which is important in providing a driving range of up to 330 miles on a single charge, according to EPA estimates, making it useful for both city commutes and longer journeys.
