Uploaded 10 months ago by AutoGuide.com

Video Summary

Here is a summary of the video:

The VinFast VF8 has good styling, though the reviewer is not a huge fan. The vehicle’s technology is good but would be better with a few patches. The car has good power, with 402 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque, and is faster than competitors. The vehicle has a similar sized battery pack to competitors, however, weighs around 800 to 900 pounds more than competition. The vehicle’s range is 243 miles on a single charge. The interior of the VF8 isn’t terrible, but the materials are considered cheap to the touch. The overall design takes inspiration from many automakers. The reviewer would not expect a manufacturer entering a new segment and market to nail the formula right away. The biggest issue to overcome is the vehicle's current chassis. The vehicle’s suspension and body components can be heard more than competitors on the road. The vehicle’s braking is linear, offering good initial bite. The turns signal does not turn off until the steering wheel is absolutely straight. The parking brake applies and releases with a delay. The vehicle is covered under a 10-year, 120,000-mile or 200,000-kilometer bumper-to-bumper warranty, and the battery is also covered for 10 years with unlimited mileage.
