The 2024 VinFast VF 8 is a battery-electric SUV with AWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the Gen 1 generation. The Plus Extended Range is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured Plus Extended Range version develops 402 hp and 620 Nm (457 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 5.5 seconds, which is decisively quick for everyday road use. Top speed is listed at 200 km/h (124 mph). Its power output is about 23% above the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 13% quicker than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Battery, range and charging
Battery capacity is listed at 87.7 kWh. The recorded electric range is 471 km (293 miles). Listed energy or fuel consumption is 18.6 kWh/100km. Maximum DC charging power is 110 kW. Its listed range is close to the peer average. Real-world range and charging speed still depend on temperature, speed, wheel choice, battery state and the conditions of the test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,750 mm (187.0 in) in length, 1,900 mm (74.8 in) in width, and 1,660 mm (65.4 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,950 mm (116.1 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 376 litres (13.3 cu ft), expanding to 1,468 litres (51.8 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 2,355 kg (5,192 lb). The recorded braked towing capacity is 2,500 kg (5,512 lb). That cargo volume is about 30% below the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of Plus Extended Range and Plus Extended. Across the range, the specifications span 402 hp, 5.5 s, and 471 km, while listed starting prices run from $51,000-$52,000. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby battery-electric SUV models from the same period, the 2024 VinFast VF 8 is strongest on towing capacity and power, while cargo capacity stands out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
