2024 Vinfast VF 9 Overview
2024 Vinfast VF 9
Bursting onto the electric vehicle scene with a pair of models and a whole lot of promises, the Vinfast VF 9 is a product of an enormous mega-corporation in Vietnam whose interests include housing, schooling, theme parks, and artificial intelligence – just to name a few. This model, and a related VF 8, mark the brand’s first attempt at breaking into the Canadian market with its all-electric vehicles.
2024 Vinfast VF 9 Competitors
There are not a slew of vehicles in this segment at the moment, but the numbers are growing quickly. Chief competitors include the Tesla Model X, the Kia EV9, and the to-be-announced Hyundai Ioniq 7.
What’s new with the Vinfast VF 9 for 2024?
The company is still finding its feet on this continent, dealing with differences in culture and disparities in expectation. One of the largest changes is to how the VF 9 is sold; at first, Vinfast wanted to charge separate monthly payments for the car and its batteries, a plan which wasn’t warmly welcomed and quickly dropped. The brand is allegedly making continuous improvement to driving dynamics via over-the-air software updates.
2024 Vinfast VF 9 Performance
A grand total of 402 horsepower is hove out by the electric powertrain in the VF 9, along with 457 lb-ft of torque. That’s good enough to push this heavy EV to highway speeds from rest in an estimated 6.5 seconds. All VF 9 trims sold in Canada have the same dual motor setup.
2024 Vinfast VF 9 Efficiency
This is a sufficiently long-legged machine, according to official estimates and those provided by the company. In Eco trim, the VF 9 is listed as capable of cracking off 531 kilometres on a single charge, a sum which drops to 468 clicks in the Plus trim thanks to a different options mix. Both models have a 123-kWh battery pack.
2024 Vinfast VF 9 Safety
Absent official crash test results, we can say the VF 9 has 11 airbags scattered about its cabin, plus driving assists such as lane keeping/centering and forward collision warning are standard on both trims. A driver monitoring system is present to make sure whoever’s at the tiller hasn’t let their attention wander.
2024 Vinfast VF 9 Reliability
There aren’t enough copies of this model on public roads to yet determine overall reliability, but it is worth noting the brand covers the VF 9 with a 10 year /200,000 km new vehicle warranty plus a decade-long/unlimited-distance coverage on the battery. Over-the-air and mobile updates are also part of the deal.
2024 Vinfast VF 9 Interior
Three rows of seats mark this EV as a family vehicle, with seven seats guaranteed thanks to the sole availability of a bench in the second row. A panoramic glass sunroof and 21-inch wheels are standard on the Plus trim, helping contribute to its shorter overall range. Infotainment is handled by an enormous 15.4-inch infotainment screen which serves as the lone point of display in this Vietnamese cabin.
2024 Vinfast VF 9 Dimensions
Overall length of this machine sits at 5,118 millimetres (201.4 inches) which about splits the difference between a Kia Telluride and Chevrolet Tahoe, to use a pair of gasoline-fuelled but familiar vehicles as yardsticks. The all-electric Kia EV9 is a bit shorter. Total height is 1,696 mm (66.8 inches) and ground clearance is 189 mm or 7.4 inches.
2024 Vinfast VF 9 Canadian Pricing
As of this writing, Vinfast is hawking its wares in three Canadian provinces: Ontario, Quebec, and British Columbia. The VF 9 starts at $74,890 plus a destination fee of $2,300. That’s for the Eco trim. A tonier Plus trim, with a few extra creature comforts, commands $78,890 plus destination.
