The 2027 VinFast VF 8 has finally reached the Philippines, making us the first overseas market for the Vietnamese automaker’s latest two-row compact electric crossover SUV. The VF 8 gets a complete redesign from the ground up, and it is debuting a couple of firsts for the VinFast brand.
This begins with the design of the 2027 VinFast VF 8, as it wears a new corporate design language called “Tech Fluid”. The front end still contains the signature wing-shaped LED daytime running lights that meet towards the VinFast logo, but the LEDs now have a cleaner design. The LED headlights are also cleverly integrated into the blacked-out enclosed grille, forming the fascia of the brand’s latest design language.
At the sides, the VF 8 likewise has a more striking design. There’s a rising beltline that connects to the rear fascia, while the futuristic aerodynamic 19-inch wheels help give the VF 8 a striking look. Finally, the rear end features full-width LED taillights that likewise mimic the wing-shaped LED lights upfront. The rear fascia has been blacked out, which likewise mimics the volumetric front end.
Moving inside the new-generation VinFast VF 8, the dash design is completely new. The materials promise a more premium feel, along with more intuitive tech features. This time around, a letterbox digital gauge cluster accompanies the main 12.9-inch infotainment screen, which forms the basis of VinFast’s new software-defined vehicle (SDV) platform. At the center of it all is the Central Vehicle Computer (CVC), which enables the VF 8 to receive new features or address recalls through over-the-air (OTA) updates. It also has a voice assistant named ViVi, which you can summon by saying “Hey ViVi”.
Other interior features worth mentioning include a floating center console with plenty of storage areas, a completely new two-spoke steering wheel, and door pulls that are seamlessly integrated into the handles. The driver’s seat also gets power adjustment, while the gear selector of the VF 8 is mounted on the steering column.
Powering the new VinFast VF 8 is a front-wheel drive (FWD) electric motor that produces 228 horsepower and 330 Nm of torque. With a 60.13 kWh lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) battery, its NEDC range is up to 480 kilometers. It has an AC charging output of up to 7.4 kW, while its maximum 100 kW DC fast charging allows the LFP battery to be charged from 10 to 70 percent in under 30 minutes.
Lastly, the 2027 VinFast VF 8 has a full suite of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), which includes automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, lane-keeping assist, full-speed adaptive cruise control, blind spot warning, and rear cross-traffic alert, just to name a few.
