Today, we delve into the enigmatic world of VinFast, a Vietnamese brand that's as mysterious to Americans as a UFO sighting. The 2024 VinFast VF8, a fully electric crossover, emerges from the shadows, ready to face the scrutiny of the automotive world. Initially lambasted for its flaws, VinFast didn't cower in defeat but rose to the challenge, revamping the VF8 for the 2024 model year. With two versions on offer, the VF8 Eco and Plus models, VinFast aims to shake up the electric SUV market.
Comparisons with the Tesla Model Y are inevitable, highlighting the VF8's higher price tag, shorter range, and slower acceleration. However, VinFast has upped its game, boosting the VF8's range to better compete with the electric giant. The exterior design, though lacking flair, boasts subtle VinFast branding cues that add a touch of identity to an otherwise unremarkable appearance. Inside, the VF8 offers a comfortable and well-crafted interior, albeit lacking in unique design elements that set it apart from the competition.
One area where VinFast shines is the infotainment system, praised for its responsiveness and user-friendly interface. The partnership with Sony for in-car entertainment adds a novel touch, allowing drivers to access a catalog of Sony movies while on the go. Despite some quirks like the absence of a start button and issues with gear indicator visibility, the VF8 presents a compelling option for buyers seeking an alternative to the established players in the electric crossover segment. VinFast's journey from obscurity to refinement with the VF8 showcases a brand unafraid to challenge the status quo and carve its path in the automotive landscape.
