“Overall it is a good car, looks great, nice and roomy, comfortable for front and back passengers. Takes longer to charge than expected. I turn off Driver assist as it has caused me to almost get into 3 separate accidents. The driver assist definitely needs to be updated/fixed, other than that my only other complaint is that the car doesn't have an eyeglass compartment.”
2024 VinFast VF 8: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2024 VinFast VF 8 is the end of the short-range City Edition, leaving Eco and Plus with the larger 87.7-kWh battery. Later 2024 vehicles also received revised suspension parts and tuning for better ride control and comfort.
About the 2024 VinFast VF 8
1st generation (2023-present), second U.S. model year; 2024 standardizes the longer-range battery and adds a midyear suspension running update.
VinFast positions the VF 8 as a midsize five-seat AWD electric SUV that mixes big-screen technology, a roomy cabin, and distinctive styling rather than a stripped-down EV experience. The brand’s own VF 8 page leans on “Precision Driving Pleasure,” interior space, safety technology, and upscale touches like the head-up display. For most shoppers, the VF 8’s core role is a family-size EV with standard AWD and a feature-rich cabin in an everyday-friendly size.
The 2024 VF 8 is a midsize electric SUV with dual-motor AWD, a roomy cabin, and a 15.6-inch touchscreen. Eco is the range-focused version, with 349 horsepower and a 264-mile EPA range. Plus emphasizes comfort and performance with 402 horsepower, a panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats in both rows, and a 243-mile EPA range.

“If you just need an EV to get you from point A to B, it is fine. Otherwise, buy something else.”
“The vehicular is great. The only major issues is that it always has some system fault that it calls for “system error" or “system Failure" it's concerning but it seems fine so far. The acceleration is great I love it!”
