According to Carscoops, the VinFast VF 7 has an attractive design with “bird wing” LED headlights at the front. The flat door handles are flush with the body of the car, and it features 20-inch alloy wheels.

In terms of dimensions, the VF 7 is 4,545 mm long with a wheelbase of 2,840 mm. To put it into perspective, this crossover is 38 mm longer than the BMW X1 and has a 147 mm longer wheelbase.

According to Carscoops, the interior of the VinFast VF 7 features a minimalist design. The car is equipped with a 12.9-inch infotainment screen that supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. It’s worth noting that the crossover has vegan leather seats, a heads-up display, and a special gear lever. The Plus variant is upgraded with a two-tone interior design and a panoramic glass sunroof.

The base VF 7 variant is equipped with an electric motor with a maximum power output of 130 kW (equivalent to 174 horsepower), a maximum torque of 250 Nm, and a 59.6 kWh battery pack. It has a maximum range of 375 km per full charge (according to WLTP standards). This variant is aimed at customers with daily urban commuting needs.

Moving up to the VF 7 Plus variant, users will receive a powertrain with two electric motors with a combined maximum power output of 260 kW (equivalent to 349 horsepower), a maximum torque of 500 Nm, and a larger 75.3 kWh battery pack, which increases the maximum range per full charge to 431 km (according to WLTP standards). The VF 7 Plus accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 5.8 seconds.

In terms of safety features, VinFast offers adaptive cruise control, blind-spot detection, emergency braking, and forward collision warning for the VF 7. These are combined with rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, and a surround-view camera system.

In the Vietnamese market, the VF 7 starts at 999 million VND (41,383 USD) and goes up to 1.199 billion VND (49,669 USD) for the Plus variant. However, customers may be eligible for a discount by leasing a separate battery pack.

VinFast will officially accept pre-orders for the VF 7 starting from December 2, 2023. The cars are expected to be delivered to customers in Vietnam in early 2024. This crossover model will also be available in other markets, including the United States.
