VinFast, the ambitious Vietnamese automaker, is stepping into a largely underserved corner of the U.S. EV market with the VF 9—a full-size electric SUV designed for modern family life. At a time when electric options for larger vehicles remain limited, the VF 9 addresses key consumer needs: space, safety, and long-term value. With three rows of seating, advanced driver-assist features, and a 10-year warranty on both vehicle and battery, the VF 9 blends the familiarity of a family SUV with the advantages of electric driving.
Designed in collaboration with Pininfarina, the VF 9 makes a strong visual and functional impression. Its 402-horsepower dual-motor AWD system offers quick acceleration, while a 123 kWh battery delivers up to 330 miles of estimated range. Inside, the cabin features premium vegan leather, ambient lighting, and a panoramic sunroof—details that elevate the ride without sacrificing practicality. Over-the-air updates and the VinFast app ensure the SUV evolves alongside its driver, adding convenience and future-proofing to the package.
Beyond performance and design, the VF 9 is rooted in everyday usability and peace of mind. Market research shows growing frustration with cramped vehicles among parents, and the VF 9 responds with room to grow. With extensive safety features, generous warranties, and a lease starting at $449/month with zero down (July 2025), VinFast positions the VF 9 not just as an electric alternative—but as a confident next step in how American families move.
