According to the director, with its imposing appearance and distinctly European style, the VF 8 is "more than luxurious" enough to accompany him to meetings with partners or contract signings. Mr. Dong said he has also had many lively conversations with customers who share his passion for cars.
Meanwhile, when acting as a family car, the VF 8 asserts its advantage thanks to its imposing dimensions: 4,750 mm long, 1,934 mm wide, 1,667 mm high, and a wheelbase of 2,950 mm. This structure provides the rear seats with ample space and high headroom, creating a comfortable feeling for passengers.
“Whenever we can arrange our schedules, my whole family goes on a trip . The spacious interior of the car makes my wife and children very comfortable, and they don't get tired even on long journeys. My children even liken the car to a 'mobile resort' because of the cool air conditioning, fresh air, and plenty of entertainment,” Mr. Dong happily shared.
Even the businessman, who considers himself a meticulous person, was convinced by the level of technology and amenities on this electric SUV.
At the heart of the cabin is a sharp 15.6-inch touchscreen, combined with a head-up display (HUD) that projects information onto the windshield, making it easy for the driver to see while on the go. A Vietnamese-language virtual assistant supports hands-free control of features such as air conditioning and sunroof. In addition, premium amenities such as dual-zone automatic climate control, a Combi 1.0 air purifier, and power-adjustable heated and cooled seats in both rows further enhance the family's driving experience.
In particular, from a safety perspective, Mr. Dong is completely reassured that the VF 8 boasts a 5-star ASEAN NCAP rating. The car is equipped with the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) package, featuring a range of functions such as blind spot warning, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and a comprehensive 11-airbag system, surpassing competitors in the same segment.
Smart investment, economical operation.
Besides the experiential and technological advantages, the cost factor is also one of the important elements that drives many business people to choose the VinFast VF 8.
“The VinFast VF 8 is currently a real bargain,” reviewer Khanh Phan commented on the Vietnamese model. This assessment stems from its competitive price coupled with practical incentives that the manufacturer is applying. From the listed price of 898 million VND, customers who already own or are currently using VinFast gasoline vehicles can receive additional thank-you vouchers worth from 30 to 80 million VND (depending on the model). Thus, with the maximum discount applied, Vietnamese users can drive the VF 8 for just over 820 million VND (depending on the registration area).
“When comparing models with internal combustion engines, the VF 8's price is comparable to some C-segment SUVs like the Mazda CX-5 or Hyundai Tucson. Meanwhile, most of these models only have around 150-160 horsepower, while the VF 8, in its Eco front-wheel drive version alone, boasts over 200 horsepower ,” analyzed Khanh Phan.
According to the male reviewer, the VF 8's economic advantages are not only appealing at the time of purchase, but also become more apparent during use, as operating and maintenance costs are consistently significantly lower than gasoline-powered vehicles.
In particular, thanks to the policy of free charging at public charging stations up to 10 times per month until February 10, 2029, car owners will hardly have to pay for energy costs for the first few years of use.
“ The maintenance costs for electric vehicles are typically less than half those of internal combustion engine vehicles. The maintenance cycle is also significantly longer. While gasoline cars usually require maintenance every 5,000 km, the VF 8 has a maintenance interval of up to 15,000 km,” the reviewer added.
Balancing luxurious styling, comfortable driving experience, and optimized operating costs, the VinFast VF 8 offers a comprehensive solution to the transportation needs of modern businesspeople, fully meeting both work requirements and the desire to enjoy quality journeys with family.
