The newly launched electric car model from VinFast – VF 7 has been highly anticipated by international media with its strengths in design and operation.
VF 7 – A charming first impression
Carbuzz – a leading US automotive newspaper, had a lot of praise for the VF 7 in their article “2024 VinFast VF 7 First Look Review: Third Time’s The Charm”. The newspaper had previously given positive reviews of the VF 8 and VF 9.
The VF 7 has a sporty, modern, and stylish design, highly praised by the international press
“The design of the VF 7 is truly eye-catching” – Carbuzz commented on the impressive design of VinFast’s C-SUV model. The newspaper’s top experts analyzed in detail the unique exterior inspired by the beauty of the universe and flying objects in space, perfectly manifested by Torino Design on the VF 7. Notable features include the combination of a classic SUV design with a wide running light system on the body and a curved V-shaped bend. Along the side of the VF 7 are bold lines combined with a wide rear end.
The unique C-pillar design and the use of 20-inch wheels are also highly rated features of the VF 7.
Superior safety and intelligent features
According to Carbuzz, the VF 7 features notable safety equipment such as 8 airbags and a full range of advanced active safety systems. The VF 7 Plus version is also equipped with an advanced ADAS driving assist system with outstanding features such as lane departure warning, forward collision warning, rear cross-traffic warning, blind-spot warning, and door opening warning… The car is also equipped with VF connect package, with excellent virtual assistant features.
In fact, this is also a standout feature of VinFast electric cars compared to gasoline models in the same segment. In addition to the interactive virtual assistant, the VF 7 features many intelligent functions that are considered to be much more convenient than its competitors, such as automatic emergency call function; unauthorized intrusion monitoring and warning; real-time vehicle information monitoring and display… According to Carbuzz, the VF 7 is the most anticipated model at the moment.
The VF 7 is equipped with many intelligent and safety technologies, promising an excellent driving experience
The power of the VF 7 is evaluated to be impressive with an electric motor with a power of 174 horsepower in the Base version, with a maximum range of 375 km/full charge (according to WLTP standards). However, according to Carbuzz, users can choose the VF 7 Plus version with a 349 horsepower engine to experience its power and exciting driving inspiration.
Good price, VF 7 is the top choice in its segment
In addition to Carbuzz, many international automotive newspapers have made noteworthy comments about VinFast’s upcoming model. Carscoops reported that this model will be sold in the US and pre-ordered in Vietnam starting from December 2, 2023, with delivery in early 2024. With a price range of VND 999 million to VND 1.199 billion, the US newspaper believes that customers will benefit from the option to rent the battery.
This is also the view of Electrek. In the Vietnamese market, VinFast is offering a battery rental package with a monthly cost of VND 2.9 million (equivalent to 120 USD) for a maximum travel distance of 3,000 km per month. For distances over 3,000 km, the monthly fee will be VND 4.8 million (approximately 198 USD). In the first year, customers will enjoy free public charging, meaning operating costs will be covered by the battery rental fee, equivalent to about VND 967 per km, at least 50% cheaper than operating costs for gasoline SUVs in the same segment.
The VF 7 is expected to become a heavyweight model in the C segment in both the Vietnamese and international markets
According to Electrek, the Vietnamese automaker plans to sell the VF 7 in the US. This newspaper has been observing VinFast’s progress over the past 2 years. Although this is a relatively short period of time, VinFast is developing at a faster pace than its competitors in the market. This is evidenced by the introduction of a series of models such as the VF e34, VF 5, VF 8, VF 9, and recently VF 3, VF 6, and VF 7.
Speaking more about the VF 7, many newspapers around the world also believe that it could be a top priority choice in the C segment, not only in Vietnam but also in international markets.
In Vietnam, with its competitive pricing compared to gasoline cars, low energy costs (calculated at less than VND 600 per km), the VF 7 is considered to be worth the money for its power and outstanding equipment compared to gasoline vehicles. The C-class SUV is expected to make a big splash when customers can officially make a deposit in the near future.
