Beginning this month, the VF 9 will be available for delivery through VinFast’s California-based retail network and nationwide dealerships, with pricing set at $69,800 for the Eco model and $73,800 for the Plus model. Initial deliveries took place during a customer event at VinFast’s Los Angeles headquarters. VinFast also offers a promotional lease rate of $529 per month for qualified lessees of the first 100 VF 9 Plus units, which includes a $3,500 discount and a $2,000 down payment. The VF 9 Eco model will be available in the U.S. later this year.
Mike Nolte, Network Sales Vice President at VinFast U.S., said, “We are very excited to officially hand over the VF 9, VinFast’s second e-SUV model in the U.S. market. VF 9 is one of the few seven-passenger, 3-row electric car models on the market. We believe that the VF 9 will be the ideal vehicle for large families, delivering premium quality and a luxurious experience while maintaining excellent value.”
The VF 9 is designed for those seeking a large, eco-friendly SUV with dimensions of 201.5 inches in length, 78.9 inches in width, and 66.7 inches in height. The ground clearance of 7.2 inches makes it a suitable option for diverse terrains. It provides an EPA-estimated range of 330 miles for the Eco version and 291 miles for the Plus version. The VinFast app offers an expansive network of public charging stations, facilitating convenient access to power for VF 9 drivers.
This model showcases a collaboration with Pininfarina, known for its sophisticated design, and features 11 airbags for enhanced safety. The driver-assistance system (ADAS) and smart infotainment suite enhance the driving experience, while ongoing software updates ensure optimal performance. The VF 9 also includes a 15.6-inch customizable touchscreen with internet connectivity, enabling web browsing, navigation, and entertainment streaming.
Increased cargo capacity is another feature of the VF 9, thanks to the absence of an internal combustion engine, providing a frunk in addition to the rear storage area. The 10-year/125,000-mile warranty, 24/7 roadside assistance, and mobile repair services contribute to a reliable and premium ownership experience.
VinFast’s U.S. presence includes a growing customer support network of 15 stores and four service centers in California, plus partnerships with 36 dealerships across 15 states. This expanding network underlines VinFast’s dedication to providing dependable support to EV owners nationwide.
