Video Summary
Here is the summarized review of the Vinfast VF8 electric car:- The VF8 is considered one of the most negatively reviewed cars in America.
- The design is unoffensive but also generic.
- Build quality is impressive, better than Tesla in terms of panel fitment.
- Comes in two trims: Eco and Plus, all with all-wheel drive and a dual motor setup.
- Has an 87.7-kilowatt-hour usable battery.
- Is an 11-kilowatt AC charger with a peak DC charge rate of 150 kilowatts.
- The fit and finish inside are good, with ambient lighting and a stitched dash.
- The steering is considered pretty dead.
- There are four regen modes, high is close to a one-pedal setting.
- One of the high points is the driver assistance features which include lane centering and adaptive cruise.
- One feature that's not good is the driver attention monitor.
- Lacks lumbar support, and the rear seat is flat and un-sculpted.
- The car weighs about 1,000 pounds more than a Tesla Model Y.
- EV integration is good, with battery temperature, charging target, and charging limit information.
- The competition in the EV market is strong, with EVs such as the Kia EV6, Hyundai Ionic 5, the Mustang Mach-E, the Blazer EV, and Volkswagen ID.4 being great options.
- There are limited dealerships located on the East and West coast.
- Is just not quite good enough for a car in the price range it is in, making it better to lease.
