VinFast Auto has officially launched its flagship VF 9 all-electric SUV in Canada, marking a major milestone in its bid to capture a share of the highly competitive North American automotive market. The VF 9, a seven-passenger, three-row, dual-motor all-wheel drive SUV, is designed to appeal to eco-conscious families seeking premium, spacious, and sustainable transportation options.
Spacious, Premium, and Eco-Friendly
With dimensions of 201.5 inches in length, 78.9 inches in width, and 66.7 inches in height, the VF 9 offers ample space for families. A ground clearance of 7.2 inches ensures practicality across varied terrains, making it a versatile choice for Canadian lifestyles.
The SUV boasts an EPA-estimated range of 518 kilometres for the Eco trim and 462 kilometres for the Plus trim, making it one of the longest-range full-size electric SUVs on the market. Pricing begins at $77,321 for the Eco trim and $81,321 for the Plus trim, with deliveries available through VinFast’s retail stores across Canada starting this November.
Advanced Features and Safety
Designed by Pininfarina, the VF 9 exudes a bold, futuristic aesthetic complemented by advanced features. Its enhanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) and smart infotainment suite provide safety and connectivity, while the 15.6-inch customizable touchscreen offers internet browsing, streaming, and navigation capabilities.
Safety is paramount, with 11 airbags and software updates ensuring an optimal driving experience. The dual motor all-wheel drive system is tailored for Canada’s challenging seasonal conditions.
A Practical and Luxurious EV
The absence of an internal combustion engine allows for greater cargo capacity, including a front trunk (frunk). The VF 9 also comes with an industry-leading warranty of 10 years or 200,000 kilometres, along with 24/7 roadside assistance and mobile repair services, setting a new benchmark for customer confidence.
A Growing Support Network
VinFast’s Canadian presence now includes 10 showrooms and 57 certified collision centres, with plans for continued expansion. The company’s comprehensive support network ensures a premium ownership experience for Canadian EV buyers.
A Bold Step for VinFast
Robert Muller, Deputy CEO of Sales & Marketing at VinFast North America, stated:
“The VF 9 is one of the few seven-passenger, three-row electric all-wheel drive SUVs on the market. We believe it delivers an exceptional combination of luxury, performance, and value for Canadian families.”
With the VF 9, VinFast not only addresses a gap in the electric SUV market but also reinforces its commitment to sustainability and innovation, offering Canadians a competitive and eco-friendly choice in the growing EV landscape.
The VF 9’s launch represents a key step in VinFast’s global ambitions, positioning the brand as a premium player in the evolving electric vehicle market.
