VinFast VF7 Brings The Next EV Revolution from Vietnam

​VinFast, the Vietnamese automaker making waves in the global EV market, has once again captured the spotlight with its latest offering, the VinFast VF7. Positioned as the middle child in VinFast’s lineup, the VF7 slots above the VF5 but draws its design inspiration from the flagship VF9 rather than the fan-favorite VF3. With its compelling mix of performance, features, and pricing, the VF7 is set to challenge established players in the compact electric SUV segment, such as the BYD Atto 3.

Performance and Range

The top-spec VinFast VF7 Plus is powered by a 75.3kWh battery coupled with a dual-motor drivetrain, delivering robust performance and all-wheel drive capability. On a full charge, the VF7 Plus boasts an impressive range of 490 km, making it a strong contender for long-distance EV driving.

The VF7 is also available in a Base variant, catering to a wider range of buyers. Both trims offer competitive performance while emphasizing efficiency and sustainability.

A Standout in ADAS Technology

Where the VF7 truly sets itself apart is in its Advanced Driver-Assistance System (ADAS). The SUV comes equipped with 22 ADAS features, an industry-leading number for its segment. Key features include:

• Adaptive Cruise Control: Maintains a safe following distance from the vehicle ahead.
• Forward-Collision Warning: Alerts the driver of potential frontal collisions.
• 360-Degree Parking Assist: Provides a bird’s-eye view for easier parking in tight spaces.
• Automatic High Beam Protocol: Automatically adjusts headlights for optimal visibility.
• Driver Monitoring System: Ensures driver attentiveness and alerts if signs of fatigue are detected.
• Highway Assist: Offers semi-autonomous driving support on highways.

The extensive ADAS suite enhances both safety and convenience, ensuring the VF7 is well-prepared to handle a variety of driving conditions.

Flexible Ownership Options

VinFast offers buyers flexibility with its unique battery subscription model, allowing customers to lease the battery or purchase it outright. This approach lowers the upfront cost for buyers who opt for the subscription plan.

Design and Appeal

The VF7’s styling takes cues from the VF9, with a sleek, modern design that exudes sophistication. While it doesn’t share the playful charm of the VF3, the VF7 leans into a more premium aesthetic, appealing to buyers who prioritize both performance and elegance in an electric SUV.
