On 20 May 2026 VinFast introduced the new-generation VF 8, the first model in its range to be upgraded across design, technology platform and driving experience at once. It was developed by VinFast's own engineers and lists at VND 999 million.
Design
The “Tech Fluid” design language aims for seamless surfaces: a wide gloss-black grille, wing-shaped daytime running lights and large air intakes at the front corners. A window line rising towards the rear makes the car look in motion even when parked; the tail is minimal, with wing-shaped LED tail lights.
It measures 4,701 × 1,872 × 1,670 mm with a 2,840 mm wheelbase, 170 mm ground clearance, 19-inch wheels and five seats.
Cabin and comfort
A 12.9-inch centre screen holds most controls, with a driver display behind the wheel and a column-mounted gear selector. Dual-zone automatic climate control adds ionisation and a Combi 1.0 filter; the driver's seat has six-way power adjustment with memory, the second row folds 60:40, and there is a Vietnamese voice assistant with regional accents and an eight-speaker sound system.
Driving and technology
A new chassis brings FSD adaptive dampers on both axles, and a software-defined electrical architecture runs on a central vehicle computer (CVC).
The front motor makes 170 kW (228 hp) and 330 Nm with three drive modes; the 60.13 kWh battery gives up to 500 km (NEDC) and charges 10–70% in under 30 minutes. VinFast's own integrated thermal management (ITM) coordinates cooling and heating for the battery, motor and cabin.
The ADAS suite covers highway assist, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping, blind-spot warning and a 360° camera; VinFast targets a five-star ASEAN NCAP rating.
Price, warranty and offers
Deposits opened on 27 May 2026 online and at dealers. The warranty is 7 years or 160,000 km for the car and 8 years or 160,000 km for the battery. Deposits in the first eight days (27 May–3 June 2026) received an extra VND 51 million off, on top of the general “Mãnh liệt vì tương lai xanh” offers. First deliveries were planned for late July 2026.
