Both stronger and safer than gasoline cars
“The electric motor of VinFast VF 8 is 1.5 - 2 times more powerful than gasoline cars of the same price range,” said Mr. Hoang Viet (Hanoi) about his VF 8. Before switching to this model, Mr. Viet researched some gasoline cars from Korea, Japan, and the US, but the VF 8 proved to be superior thanks to its powerful engine. According to Mr. Viet, a powerful engine is also a safety feature in many situations.
Agreeing with this opinion, user Huynh Trong Nguyen ( Ho Chi Minh City) also said that VF 8 accelerates smoothly, without delay. This helps him to overtake vehicles on the highway quickly and decisively, ensuring safety. That is also the reason why he chose VF 8 for long trips to Da Lat or Hue.
In the most advanced version (Plus), VinFast VF 8 owns an engine with a capacity of up to 402 horsepower and a maximum torque of 620 Nm. This number is completely superior when compared to 5-seat SUV models on the market today. This power is even equivalent to luxury sports cars priced at several billion VND.
In addition, the ADAS advanced safety driving assistance technology system is a point that cannot be ignored on the VinFast VF 8. According to Mr. Pham Phan Anh (owner of a VF 8 in Hanoi), ADAS makes driving less stressful, making each journey more relaxing. "It is very easy to turn on and off the ADAS function, increase and decrease speed simply, set the distance to the vehicle in front quickly and easily," he said.
Specifically, ADAS on VF 8 has a series of features such as traffic sign recognition, adaptive cruise control, automatic front emergency braking... especially level 2 features such as highway driving assistance - a "money-making" plus point of VinFast's D-SUV model. Besides, this is also a rare model on the market with up to 11 airbags.
Cumulative promotions, D-size SUVs are cheaper than C-class cars
During use, Mr. Vu Quang Chien, a car owner in Hanoi, commented that using VinFast VF 8 for daily travel is completely convenient because the charging station system is now available everywhere. Not only that, the free battery charging policy until June 2027 helps people like Mr. Chien save a significant amount on fuel costs.
This is also what all VinFast electric car owners in general feel very satisfied with when owning this electric SUV. According to Mr. Hoang Viet (Hanoi), using VF 8 helps him save up to 5-6 million VND per month compared to running a regular gasoline car. Through the process of use, the customer also realized the benefit of maintenance costs - which are very low compared to gasoline cars.
In particular, in terms of ownership costs, VinFast's already competitive D-SUV model is even more of a "hot item" in the segment as VinFast is simultaneously implementing many "one-of-a-kind" incentive programs on the market.
Specifically, from the listed price of 1.019 - 1.199 billion VND, thanks to the cooperation program with Green Future, customers who own gasoline cars of all brands when switching to VF 8 cars will receive incentives of up to 90 million VND. If registering a car in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, customers will also receive a gift worth 50 million VND, converted into VinClub points to use at Vingroup brands. In particular, if completing the car purchase invoice in May 2025, the gift will be added 23 million VND according to the program "VinFascination - Brilliant Summer with VinFast".
In total, VF 8 buyers at the present time can benefit up to 163 million VND if they meet all the conditions. In addition, all customers who buy electric cars from now until the end of February 2027 will also be supported with 100% of the registration fee, equivalent to a savings of up to 143 million VND.
This series of “cumulative incentives” is turning VinFast VF 8 into the most worth-buying model in the 5-seat SUV segment in Vietnam today. According to many users’ calculations, after all the incentives, the cost to roll VF 8 is less than 1 billion VND - an amount lower than some models in the C-SUV segment.
In addition, customers can also choose an installment loan package of up to 80% of the car's value within 8 years, which means a down payment of only over 200 million VND for a D-class car. This policy quickly received support from customers who want to "upgrade" to an electric car while still being in control of their finances.
