Overview

The full-size VF 9 model made its debut together with the smaller VF 6 and VF 8 models as the largest of the range of electric crossovers unveiled in January 2021, being the first vehicles of this type by the Vietnamese manufacturer.[7]

The VF 9 is characterized by a massive silhouette with a length of over 5.1 metres, gaining an avant-garde stylized silhouette with a two-module window line, as well as narrow strips of headlamps and rear lamps consisting of Matrix LED lighting.[8] Characterized by AWD, the vehicle will accommodate a maximum of 7 people on three rows of seats.

The passenger cabin has been kept in a minimalist design, gaining a massive, 15.4-inch touch screen displaying not only the multimedia system indications but also the onboard computer and speedometer information due to its integration with the instrument cluster.[9]

Like the smaller VF 8, the VF 9 will go on sale in Vietnam in September 2021, with the first units delivered in February 2022.[10] The vehicle will also be part of the global expansion of VinFast, in mid-2022 it will go on sale, among others, in Australia, Europe and North America.[11]

The VF 9 is offered as a dual motor variant consisting of a battery with a capacity of 106 kWh, developing 402 hp (300 kW; 408 PS). The vehicle will be able to travel approximately 482 kilometres (300 mi) on a single charge.[12]
