VinFast VF 9

Bold, Blocky Presence

The VinFast VF 9 announces itself as a large, dignified SUV with a mix of Asian flair and familiar executive cues; proportions are long and upright, so it looks more stately than sporty. Big surfaces, chrome touches and slim LED signatures give it an upmarket stance that fills a driveway without feeling fussy. Visibility from a distance is strong—this is a car designed to be noticed rather than blend in—and the design works equally well with city kerbs and suburban driveways.

Cabin: Ambition Meets Practicality

Step inside and the VF 9 aims for premium with large screens, soft-touch surfaces and a minimalist dash layout anchored by a portrait infotainment display and a separate instrument cluster. Material quality has improved in recent updates, with leather and padded trim in higher grades, though some plastics around the lower doors and centre console feel ordinary for the segment. Ergonomics are generally sensible: the seats are supportive, controls are within reach, and the general atmosphere leans toward calm and modern rather than flashy.

Room for Everyone (and Everything)

The VF 9 is built to carry people and luggage: seating for up to seven with a usable third row makes it family-friendly and practical for groups, and second- and third-row seats fold to create a large, flat load space for longer hauls. In everyday use the third row is best for children or short hops, while adults will appreciate the legroom and headroom in the first two rows. Storage cubbies, a sensible boot layout and straight-loading rear doors make school runs, grocery trips and weekend gear straightforward rather than fussy.

Casual Comfort, Not a Sports Car

Ride comfort is a priority: the VF 9 soaks up bumps and isolates road noise well for a vehicle of this size, making long motorway miles relaxed rather than exhausting. Steering is weighted toward comfort and stability rather than precision, so cornering is composed but not particularly involving; the heavy kerb weight is always a reminder that this is a large EV. Where a stronger impression appears is in the stronger powertrain spec: dual-motor configurations push performance into brisk territory, while single-motor versions trade sprint pace for calmer town and highway cruising.

Range Reality: Long on Paper, Varied in Use

VinFast offers long-range ambitions with higher-capacity battery options and shorter-range packs depending on trim, and advertised WLTP figures can read as competitive with other large EVs. In real-world driving expect city use and moderate speeds to stretch range a long way, while sustained motorway runs, cold weather or heavy loads will cut that figure significantly; typical consumption will land in the low- to mid-20s kWh per 100 km in mixed driving. Fast charging capability makes long trips realistic if public chargers are available, but planning is still required for extended journeys with a full cabin and luggage.

Driver Aids and Digital Life

The VF 9 comes equipped with modern assistance systems—adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping, parking aids and a raft of sensors—all configurable through the central infotainment system, and VinFast has pushed OTA updates to keep features current. The infotainment interface is large and easy to read, with smartphone mirroring and useful connectivity, although menu depth and occasional lag can interrupt the otherwise clean presentation. Sound insulation and an available upgraded audio setup make the cabin a pleasant place for audio or long calls, while driver assistance supports confident, if not fully hands-off, highway driving.

Who Should Consider the VF 9?

The VinFast VF 9 suits buyers who need a spacious, comfortable electric SUV with a premium feel at a value-oriented price point, especially families who prioritise room, features and long-range capability for everyday use. It will appeal to those willing to trade sharp handling for comfort and who can live with the practicalities of charging and software maturity as VinFast expands its presence; current versions carry internal codes such as 326340 and 326342. For buyers seeking a roomy EV with modern tech and a commanding road presence, the VF 9 is a contender worth test-driving in context with established rivals before deciding.
