Inside, the surprise effect is less, with a design that couldn’t be more classic and a large central screen reminiscent of Tesla products. So let’s see:

VinFast VF 8 2022-2023, the suv that knows how to amaze
The group, or rather the Vietnamese conglomerate Vingroup, which weighed 35 billion dollars on the stock market at the end of 2021, is advancing its pawns. The automotive offensive will be pursued through its VinFast brand, which will materialize in a range of over 5 models by the end of 2025. Next to land on the ground is the VinFast VF 8 2022-2023. It is a midsize suv 4.75m long and 1.90m wide.
Mechanically, VinFast VF 8 2022-2023 is a four-wheel drive vehiclewith two different versions. The entry-level VF 8 Eco develops 348 hp and 368 Nm of torque. For its part, the VF 8 Plus is the most efficient, has 402 hp and 457 lb-ft. VinFast promises accelerations from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour of 5.9 seconds for the VF 8 Eco and 5.5 seconds for the VF 8 Plus. Two batteries are available, respectively of 82 and 87 kWh usable. VinFast declares a range of between 460 and 510 kilometers depending on the WLTP calculation mode. Fast charging is of course available.
The central screen offers a rather intuitive interface, with easily identifiable functions. Those who drive a Tesla Model 3 will not be surprised with the speed indicated in the upper left corner. There is also a head-up speed display, which is a good thing. That said, we regret the absence of physical buttons for temperature and ventilation, which remain more practical than a touch interface with controls located at the bottom of the screen. To buy VinFast VF 8 you need around 43,000 euros.
VinFast VF 8 reviews, growth target
VinFast is part of a huge conglomerate called VinGroup. A real empire in Vietnam, which has companies in all sectors of the economy. On the other hand, the involvement in the automotive industry is very recent as the beginnings date back to about 5 years ago. Initially, VinFast opted for licensed vehicle construction, a good way to get their hands on the automotive industry while minimizing risk.
Two agreements have been signed, one with GM and the other with BMW. With BMW, the changes were more significant. Using components from the 5 and X5 series, VinFast presented the Lux A2.0 sedan and the Lux SA2.0 SUV. Models with a not very inspired name, but whose design has been modified to differentiate themselves from Bavarian products.
