Technical specifications and exterior design

In terms of dimensions, the new generation VinFast VF 8 maintains the same length x width x height specifications of 4,701 x 1,872 x 1,670 mm, along with a wheelbase of 2,840 mm. With a ground clearance of 170 mm and 19-inch wheels, this model ensures flexible maneuverability in various traffic conditions.

The car's exterior has been refined with a wide, glossy black grille, combined with the distinctive wing-shaped daytime running lights. The window line is swept upwards towards the rear, creating a strong aerodynamic effect, while the body panels on the doors are smoothly finished to optimize light reflection while in motion.

Chassis platform and performance

Notably, the new generation VF 8 utilizes Frequency Selective Dampers (FSD) adaptive damping technology on both axles. This system can automatically adjust the stiffness or softness of the suspension depending on road conditions, providing a smoother and more stable ride.

The vehicle is equipped with a Central Vehicle Computer (CVC) architecture to coordinate the entire electrical and electronic system, following the trend of software-controlled vehicles (SDV). The electric motor provides 170 kW (equivalent to 228 horsepower) and 330 Nm of torque, coupled with front-wheel drive.

| Specifications | Values |

Maximum power	170 kW (228 hp)
Maximum torque	330 Nm
Battery capacity	60.13 kWh
Distance traveled (NEDC)	500 km
Fast charging time (10%–70%)	Under 30 minutes

VinFast's self-developed Integrated Thermal Management (ITM) system optimizes battery performance, allowing the vehicle to travel up to 500 km on a single full charge according to NEDC standards.
