Panoramic glass ceiling, classy amenities on the VinFast VF 9 electric SUV

Bring the sky into the car

The panoramic roof first appeared exactly 70 years ago (in 1953) on the Lincoln XL-500 concept car. Unlike traditional sunroofs that were only a few inches wide, the panoramic roof was a breakthrough at that time with a transparent roof that extended from the windshield to the rear of the car. Although it was predicted to be a design of the new era, the "large roof" on the Lincoln XL-500 was not popularized due to many technological barriers.

The transparent panoramic roof design gradually appeared later on modern car models. Most of them are luxury cars with owners who are extremely demanding customers and require a difference in experience. We can mention famous names such as Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe, Ferrari GTC4Lusso, Bentley Continental GT, Porsche Panamera 4 Sport Turismo...

In terms of design, panoramic glass roofs on famous car models bring luxury and appeal to the owner. Instead of rigid iron frames, large glass panels cover the entire sky, creating an airy and inspiring space. That is one of the reasons, according to a report by JCT600 (a world- famous automobile retail group), “Panoramic Glass Roof” helps improve the user’s mood. A comfortable mood comes from an open view, creating a sense of spaciousness for the space in the car and a sense of connection with the surrounding world.

Not only creating a psychological effect, large glass ceilings also help in actual operation with better heat dissipation, helping to dispel the stuffiness in the cockpit. In addition, in terms of health, large glass panels help users to be exposed to more sunlight, thereby producing vitamin D, which is good for the body.

For many high-end car models, “Panoramic Glass Roof” is often an expensive additional option. For example, with Tesla Model S or Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the utility that many companies describe as “Let The Sky Inside” is an option that will cost the car owner hundreds of millions of VND. With the electric car that has just reached users of VinFast - VF 9, this is a convenience equipped with the car on the Plus version, promising to bring a different experience to users.

“Class from the smallest details on VF 9”

It is no coincidence that panoramic glass roofs are a luxury on many car models. As a replacement for a traditional metal roof, large glass panels must not only be beautiful but also ensure high durability, the ability to withstand harsh weather conditions and safety in collisions. In addition, glass roofs must also meet standards for heat resistance, UV protection, and light transmission to both bring the sky into the car and prevent any negative effects on people in the car.

To satisfy the above series of requirements, according to previous disclosures, the glass ceiling used on VF 9 is made of high-quality materials with a series of impressive parameters such as: UV Transmission is 0; Light Transmission is approximately 5%; Infrared Transmission and Heat Transmission are only nearly 4.5%. These numbers mean that the large glass panels on VF 9 will block 95-100% of all objective impacts on the car ceiling such as infrared rays, UV rays, high temperatures, etc.

For more privacy, VF 9 owners can also order a custom-designed ceiling curtain for the VF 9. Tesla also offers this option to help users have more genuine options when selling ceiling curtains for the Tesla Model S line.

“VinFast is showing a classy car from the smallest details,” an auto industry expert said about VinFast’s full-size electric SUV.

It is worth mentioning that the panoramic glass roof is just a small part of the VF 9's series of superior equipment compared to other models in the same segment. On many forums, the VF 9 is receiving a series of positive comments about amenities such as captain's seats with 8-inch touch screen entertainment, seat systems with integrated massage, heating, ventilation... creating the feeling of sitting in a business class aircraft cabin. In addition, there are valuable safety and intelligence equipment such as: Highway driving support, Traffic jam support, Adaptive cruise control, Smart speed adjustment, Smart Vietnamese virtual assistant...

Along with VinFast's reasonable price and excellent after-sales service, VF 9 is considered by many users to be the perfect piece to help the Vietnamese car company conquer users, not only domestically but also in many of the most demanding markets in the world such as the US, Europe, etc.
