VF 7 – The First Impression
Carbuzz – the leading car publication in the US had lots of compliments for the VF 7 in their review article “2024 VinFast VF 7 First Look Review: Third Time’s The Charm”. Previously, they also gave positive reviews for VF 8 and VF 9.
VF 7 possesses a stylish, modern and fashionable design, highly appreciated by the foreign press.
“The design of the VF 7 is truly eye-catching” – says Carbuzz about VinFast’s impressive C-SUV. The publication’s top experts meticulously analyze the unique exterior inspired by the beauty of the universe and flying objects in space, exquisitely portrayed by Torino Design on the VF 7. Notably, the combination of classic SUV design with the wide-running lights of the body and the V-shaped curve. Along the side of the VF 7 are rugged lines combined with a wide rear.
The unique C-pillar design or the use of 20-inch wheels are also highly regarded details of the VF 7.
Outstanding safety and intelligent features
According to Carbuzz, the VF 7 comes with notable safety features such as 8 airbags and a full range of advanced active safety systems. The VF 7 Plus version is also equipped with an ADAS advanced driving assistance system with outstanding features such as lane departure warning, forward collision warning, rear cross-traffic warning, blind spot warning, door opening warning, etc. In addition, the car also has the VF connect package, with superior virtual assistant features.
In fact, this is also the standout feature of VinFast electric cars compared to gasoline models in the same segment. In addition to interactive virtual assistants, smart vehicle control, VF 7 has been evaluated to have many times more intelligent features than its competitors with many convenient functions such as automatic emergency call function; monitoring and warning of unauthorized intrusion; real-time monitoring and display of vehicle information… According to Carbuzz, the VF 7 is the most anticipated model at the moment.
VF 7 is equipped with many intelligent and safe technologies, promising to bring excellent driving experience.
The power of the VF 7 is evaluated as 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 standard). However, according to Carbuzz, users can choose the VF 7 Plus version with a 349 horsepower engine to experience the power and exhilarating driving excitement.
Competitive price, VF 7 is the top choice in its segment
Besides Carbuzz, many international automotive publications also have noteworthy comments on VinFast’s upcoming car. Carscoops reports that the car will be sold in the US and can be pre-ordered in Vietnam from December 2, 2023, with deliveries starting in early 2024. With a price range from 999 million VND to 1,199 million VND, the American publication believes that customers will benefit from the option to lease the battery.
This is also the opinion of Electrek. In the Vietnamese market, VinFast is offering a battery leasing package with a monthly cost of 2.9 million VND (equivalent to 120 USD) for a maximum distance of 3,000 km per month. For distances exceeding 3,000 km, the monthly fee will be 4.8 million VND (approximately 198 USD). In the first year, customers are provided with free public charging, meaning that the operating costs are covered by the battery rental cost, which is around 967 VND/km, at least 50% cheaper than the operating costs of gasoline models in the same C-SUV segment.
VF 7 is expected to become the heavyweight player in the C segment in the Vietnamese and international markets.
According to Electrek, the Vietnamese automaker has plans to sell VF 7 in the US. At the same time, this publication has also been observing the brand’s progress over the past 2 years. This period is not too long, but VinFast is developing at a faster pace compared to its competitors in the market. Evidence of this is the introduction of a series of models from VF e34, VF 5, VF 8, VF 9, and most recently VF 3, VF 6, and VF 7.
Talking more about VF 7, many global publications also believe that this could be the top choice in the C segment, not only in Vietnam but also in the international market.
In Vietnam, with a very competitive on-road price compared to gasoline cars, low energy costs (calculated at less than 600 VND/km), the VF 7 is considered worth the money for its power and superior equipment compared to gasoline cars. The C-segment SUV is expected to create a big wave when customers can officially place pre-orders soon.
