Strong new offering within luxury SUV segment
A striking new car brand has entered the Dutch market: VinFast. With the VinFast VF 9, the Vietnamese manufacturer immediately settles into the top of the luxury SUV segment. No lack of ambition.
VinFast, a new Vietnamese car manufacturer, has arrived in the Netherlands with two fully electric models. An SUV in the D-segment, the VF 8 (from €44,000 or €599 lease) and the current top model of the brand: the VinFast VF 9. It immediately takes place in the higher E-segment of the popular SUV class. As standard, the VF 9 is a practical seven-seater. But its ‘value for money’ goes even further.
Beautiful report figures
Without electric cars you no longer count. VinFast is all about it. Electric is the future and that is why the manufacturer only builds electric cars. But with an extra vision: VinFast believes that electric driving should be accessible to everyone and therefore affordable. Each VinFast offers a lot of car for a competitive price, such as this VF 9. That is the mission. It stands for a starting price of €60,000 (lease from €799) in the price list. Range stress is not an issue with the VF 9 with a range of no less than 590 km. And he is more than smooth. Thanks to the two electric motors that together deliver a maximum of 300 kW (408 hp), the VF 9 is also on the road smoothly with a sprint time from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.5 seconds. The car can lose all that power on the road thanks to the four-wheel drive, also standard.

Sounding Names
The European market is very competitive. If you want to succeed here, you have to come up with something. VinFast uses ZF drive technology, relies on Bosch battery packs and had the refined design carried out by the famous Pininfarina studio. So definitely not the least. The VF 9 comes in two different trim levels, the Eco and the Plus. There are also two different battery packs. That means a starting price of €59,200 for the VinFast VF 9 Standard Range Eco. The VinFast VF 9 Enhanced Range Plus is the top of the range at €64,650.
