Decoding the reason why VinFast VF 8 dominates the 5-seat SUV segment

VF 8 is "superior" to all competitors in terms of engine and technology

“ In the same price range, there is no gasoline car model with an engine as strong as the VF 8. Step on the gas and it works right away ” - reviewer Truong Ngoc Duong (owner of Duong De channel) had to exclaim after driving VinFast 's pure electric SUV.

In fact, in the Plus version, the VF 8 is equipped with a powerful engine of up to 402 horsepower, with a maximum torque of 620 Nm - parameters that are completely superior to many gasoline-powered SUVs in the same price range. Thanks to that, the VF 8 only takes about 5.58 seconds to accelerate from 0-100 km/h, bringing an extremely exciting and confident driving feeling, whether overtaking on the highway or crossing complex terrain.

" Just pressing the gas pedal is enough to pin you to your seat. The car accelerates smoothly, and you can't hear any engine growl at all ," an expert from Autodaily said, visibly surprised after experiencing it firsthand.

Not only does it have impressive engine power, the VF 8 also conquers car owners thanks to a series of smart technologies that gasoline cars of the same price range can hardly match, such as remote software updates via smartphone, support for optimal journey planning, or smart virtual assistant... These features not only enhance the driving experience but also turn the car into a truly smart and convenient "companion" on all roads.

Safety technology is also a highlight that helps VF 8 "score points" with Vietnamese users. According to the assessment from ASEAN NCAP, VF 8 achieved a 5-star safety score - the highest level of the system. This SUV is equipped with up to 11 airbags, along with a series of active safety technologies such as ABS brakes, EBD, emergency brake assist BA... In particular, the ADAS advanced driving assistance system with features including lane keeping, adaptive cruise control, automatic front emergency braking... brings maximum peace of mind to the driver in all situations.

“ Driving at night on the highway is very difficult; even the lane markings are barely visible. But thanks to the ADAS feature, driving is very easy. The car handles corners very smoothly, automatically reduces speed, and maintains a safe distance from the car in front ,” said Thanh (from the Thanh Auto vlog channel), sharing his experience with the ADAS feature on his VinFast VF 8 Plus.

Record low cost of ownership, 2 years free battery charging

A big plus point that helps VinFast VF 8 break through in the market is the lowest rolling cost in the segment, along with surprisingly affordable operating costs. This is also a key factor to convince customers who prioritize long-term economic issues.

Currently, VinFast is implementing the special promotion program "Fierce Vietnamese Spirit - For a Green Future" for the third time. The highlight of the program is the 4% discount. For example, with the VF 8 Plus version (listed price 1.199 billion VND), buyers immediately save nearly 50 million VND.

Not stopping there, VinFast also launched a series of extremely practical supports such as: 70 million VND for customers who change their gasoline cars to electric cars and an additional 50 million VND converted into VinClub points if they register their license plates in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. In total, VF 8 buyers at this time can receive an incentive package of up to more than 160 million VND. Not to mention, thanks to being an electric car, VF 8 is also 100% exempt from registration fees, helping customers reduce hundreds of millions of VND in rolling costs.

With the free charging policy at the entire V-Green charging station system nationwide, lasting until mid-2027, current VF 8 owners will have nearly 2 years of comfortable travel without any charging costs.

“ Recently, I see a lot of people taking the VF 8 on trips because the car is charged for free. If you use a gasoline car, for every 1,000 km, the car will “eat” about 2 million VND in gas. On my last trip to Hoi An, thanks to using the VF 8, I saved a few million VND ,” said Mr. Truong Ngoc Duong.

In addition, the maintenance cost of VF 8 is also very reasonable. With the simple structure of the electric motor with few moving parts and no oil, VF 8 only needs maintenance every 12,000 km (longer than many gasoline vehicles). Each periodic maintenance only ranges from a few hundred thousand to about 1 million VND. This cost is even lower than a maintenance of a gasoline motorbike.

Combining impressive engine power, a range of smart technologies, top-tier safety standards, and a competitive price, the VinFast VF 8 is considered a superior choice in the D-segment SUV category priced around 1 billion VND, fully meeting the needs of modern users for performance, comfort, and safety.

Currently, in addition to the traditional distribution channel through the nationwide dealer network, customers can easily order electric cars with a digital process "from A to Z" on the VinFast website at: https://shop.vinfastauto.com/vn_vi/dat-coc-o-to-dien-vinfast.html. When buying a car online, customers will receive an additional 2% discount on the car's value after applying all current policies.
