Video Summary
Here is the summary of the YouTube video:The VinFast VF9 is a three-row, up to seven-seat electric SUV, designed by Pininfarina, which has also designed vehicles for Ferrari. The design is aerodynamic, with LED headlights and a V logo prominent throughout the vehicle.
The reviewer likes the front trunk that offers 3.5 cubic feet of space with access to fuse box, battery, coolant, and windshield wiper fluid.
The length of the vehicle is over 200 inches long, with wheel options available for ECO and PLUS trims being 20 and 21-inch wheels respectively, giving range of 330 miles for ECO and 291 miles for PLUS. Both come with a 123 kWh battery.
The car’s charge speeds have a 10%-70% charge in about 35 minutes. A 10-year, 125,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty is included, with 10-year, unlimited mileage for battery.
The charger is upfront and has standard J1772 and CCS ports.
A positive point is that this is that all the door close gently.
There are top tethers for car seats in the third row, but not the lower latches. There is also 7.5-33 cu ft in the cargo area and a sub-trunk for charging cables.
The second row has a lot of leg and headroom and comes with vegan leather, heated and ventilated seats and a panoramic glass roof, the reviewer said. Features in the 2nd row include the 8-inch control touchscreen with Apple Carplay, Alexa, and music, plus climate and heated seats control. There is a 90-watt USB C charging.
The gear shifters are located in the center console. This allows them to be centrally located, versus being a stalk on the steering wheel. There is a 15.6 inch centrally located touch screen. Driving has been described as smooth due to the car's air suspension and the quiet driving experience.
Also noted is the limited availability of chargers, which will be helped by an available adaptor at a later date. The UI for the screen has been significantly improved since the last review of VinFast’s VF8 model.
The final conclusion is that the reviewer is starting to like the car and thinks it is a contender in the three-row SUV market.
