Sculpted Styling and Purposeful Design

VinFast designed the VF 8 under its “Tech Fluid” philosophy, in collaboration with the renowned Italian design house Pininfarina. It presents a balanced profile that seamlessly blends sportiness with everyday SUV practicality. Equipped with standard 19-inch alloy wheels and a ground clearance of 170 mm, this five-seater vehicle confidently handles diverse road conditions.

Physically, the VF 8 measures 4,701 mm in length, 1,872 mm in width, and 1,670 mm in height, with a generous wheelbase of 2,840 mm. It has a curb weight of 1,870 kg, a maximum payload capacity of 450 kg, and a turning radius of 5.75 meters. The front features a signature V-shaped LED light bar that sweeps across the grille area, flanking the central badge. Clean body contours and bold rear LED lighting complete its aerodynamic silhouette. Available color choices for the local market include Infinity Blanc, Starburst Blue, Jet Black, and Solar Ruby, each paired with a contrasting black roof.

Inside the cabin, you'll find a minimalist dashboard designed for effortless driver input, free of clutter. At the center is a large 12.9-inch touchscreen display that consolidates vehicle settings, multimedia, and climate control. Essential telemetry data is provided by a secondary digital display located directly behind the steering wheel. The vehicle features a gear selector mounted on the steering column, which opens up the center console for cup holders and additional storage. Passenger comfort is enhanced by standard dual-zone automatic climate control, equipped with a Combi 1.0 cabin air filter, ergonomic seating, auto-dimming rearview glass, and multifunction controls integrated into the steering wheel.

Safety is a primary focus of the VF 8. The SUV is constructed using high-strength materials and features a comprehensive safety system that includes six strategically placed airbags throughout the cabin. Standard active and passive driver assistance systems incorporate an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), a Vehicle Stability Control System, Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, parking sensors accompanied by a 360-degree surround-view camera system, ISOFIX child seat anchors, and child safety door locks.
