The Vinfast VF8 Is Better Than You Expect! In-Depth Review

Hello viewers! We finally get to drive the Vinfast VF8. An SUV that has had some less than positive reviews but were they correct? What did we think of this offering from a Vietnamese EV Start up?

It's really rare for people to tell the truth and be as fair as you. Very realistic and useful for users. I don't understand the articles, and some people have never tried driving this car model, or they have some really bad thoughts and put all their anger on this car. Oh it's not bad, it's a good car, it fixed all the problems quickly. Consumers are now often guided by bad KZbinrs. You are a wonderful person. God always blesses those who are gentle and do not lie. I hope luck will accompany you and your family wherever you are

Here in San Jose CA, these cars are everywhere and one of our neighbors got one for his wife which she loves way more than their old Tesla model y (which got totaled in a wreck). Our neighbor says it rides better than the model y and they haven’t had a single issue with it at all. Whereas the model y they had, it was plagued with software issues and one of the windows stopped working 😂.

Glad to see reviews from Canada, especially Montreal QC. By the way, it looks like no reviewers have ever tested the voice command, it would nice to test it. I'm wondering if it works well. I tested the VF8 Plus with a friend last week and we both really liked it. Keep the good work.

Last week I took a trip from Vancouver to Harrison Hot Spring to see the tulips festival and soak my feet in the hot springs. My VF8 eco is run in Eco mode and I use the ADAS function most of the time. This is my test to see how far the car can run in 12 degree Celsius weather. As a result, during the 260km journey there and back, my car lost 50% of its battery. Usually I use Standart mode, the car can run about 43 - 45 km on 10% battery. I think, if I run it in Sport mode, it will run about 36- 38km on 10% battery. However, I rarely run in sport mode because it is too powerful and unnecessary in the city. I think it's not as bad a car as negative people say.

For a car company that’s 5 years old, coming from one of the poorest country on earth, it’s stunning. Compare Vinfast to Tesla in its first five years, with all the government backing of the US & and the support of the most powerful VC culture, Vinfast did something incredible. Great things are on the horizon. Impressive start.

Probably the scathing comments on the vf8 made by for example Donut were just a little biased I think. At the very beginning, there were indeed some shortcomings within the vf8's design and software such as the incessant chimes or dysfunctional blinkers but Vinfast gradually has ironed those things out.

Lease here in US is $250 at $2300 down. My eco plus during the deal was $350 3 yr payment. But agreed upon purchase price is $28k!!!!!. That intro offer. Now it's $35k after all incentives. $350 3 yr. Which is still better than other for the quality and features you get on this car. Our near by dealership Leith Vinfast is great.

[@simplygregsterev]

How was the service at the dealer? 250 usd is about 360$ CDN so close to the 399$ 2000$ cdn down offer here. Keep it 4 years and then get another.

[@BenJ1502]

If it was the $250 deal a few months ago, then it should be $0 down. $2300 is not down payment, it's the fee paid for registration, dmv, ...

[@rubberroast1598]

I am a VF8 owner, and to be fair, the huge amount of initial terrible reviews stem from May 2023, when Vinfast released their very basic stripped down CITY version to a bunch of american reviewers, with still not quite market ready software. Also back then the pricing model was based on EV going rates at the time which have since come down drastically. It was a mistake by Vinfast, they should have waited until their software was more polished and the car itself had suspension engineering improvements. Fast forward a year, and the VF8 today you are driving is far and a away removed from that CITY version the reviewers based everything on. Structural improvements were made, battery charge improvements, and definitely software upgrades. But now they are playing catchup. But for us early purchasers and leasers who can see beyond those crappy initial reviews, are benefitting. 10 years warranty bumper to bumper is worry free commitment from them to us early adopters. More will be sold in the coming months and they are expanding their networks and dealerships. There are constant software improvemnts that will continue in the months ahead. But already, its a very enjoyable ride with so many options ( you are this happy with the ECO version, the Plus version adds so many more features). And in my case the service was beyond excellent....but in the GTA there are already 3 running dealerships while quebec is still limited. It will get better out there. and no, I am not a shill, but a unbiased real customer..... who has owned 3 other electric cars before this one.

[@vanlamlenhat7783]

Tôi thấy đó ko phải sai lầm vì xe tốt thì trước sau gì cũng tốt. Bạn chỉ chưa hoàn hảo chứ không phải không đủ tiêu chuẩn để chạy ở Mỹ. Việc chưa hoàn thiện vô tình được báo chí đề cập nhiều hơn, tạo sức hút hơn và đến khi VinFast khắc phục nó thì tiếng vang của VinFast đã lan xa. Bạn có thể nói dối nhưng ko thể nói dối cả đời rằng 1 chiếc xe tốt nó tệ hại. Rồi mọi người sẽ nhận ra ai xấu ai tốt. Hơn nữa VinFast ở Mỹ ko phải mục tiêu chính, mà là để tạo thương hiệu. Nếu thương hiệu đó tốt theo năm tháng thì các thị trường khác như Ấn Độ, Indonesia...sẽ trở nên dễ dàng
