Video Summary
Sure, here's the requested summary:The VF8 is a Vietnamese-made electric SUV with an exterior design by Pininfarina, usually known for designing Ferraris. The VF8 has two versions available: Eco and Plus. All options are standard except for the exterior colors. Both models benefit from four-wheel drive, achieving 0-100 km/h in 5.5 seconds (Plus) and 5.9 seconds (Eco). The car offers five seats, with heated and ventilated seats in the front, and the Plus model gets them in the rear also. It has a heated steering wheel that adjusts electronically. There is an extra trunk in the front.
The VF8 has driving aids like lane keeping and sign detection, adaptive cruise control, pivoting mirrors, and 360-degree cameras with videos when driving under 15 km/h. The Plus version gets comfort items like a power liftgate and panoramic sunroof. The car has a signature luminous V in the center and USB ports with 90 watts of charging in the rear. The driver-assistance system has many tutorial videos to explain the technology to the driver.
VinFast offers a ten-year/200,000 km warranty for the VF8 and a ten-year unlimited kilometer warranty for the battery, which the reviewer considers a competitive offer. It can be serviced via VinFast or by Norauto locations.
The reviewer mentions it has a 15.6" center display with Apple CarPlay and even video games. Under the screen is a wireless charging pad. The car has big buttons between the seats to select the driving mode. He highlights that the car does not have a start button, and entering the vehicle using a key code automatically adjusts seat and mirror positions.
According to the reviewer, the driving is good but the suspension is very stiff, and you feel the road more, which some people prefer. The lane assist is said to be "soft." After only removing your hand from the wheel for a few seconds, an alarm reminds you to place your hands on the wheel. The VF8 has cameras that notice if you take your eyes off the road, and you get a warning to watch the road. In tight places, the cameras automatically activate. The VF8 comes with automatic amperage setting for the home charger.
The electric SUV charges from 10 to 70% in about 31 minutes. Via an app, you can access 700,000 charge spots in Europe.
The range on the Eco version is 471 km, with the Plus having 457 km on a mixed WLTP cycle. Also, the battery on the VF8 has a capacity of 87.7 kWh. The battery is included with the lease or purchase.
