About the 2025 VinFast VF 8
1st generation VF 8 (introduced for 2023), third model year; 2025 is not a redesign or mid-cycle refresh year.
VinFast positions the VF 8 as a sustainably focused two-row electric SUV that mixes sleek Pininfarina styling, a roomy cabin, and lots of standard tech. The U.S. product page emphasizes the big 15.6-inch touchscreen, head-up display, safety tech, and easy long-trip charging. In plain language, the VF 8 is VinFast’s family-sized AWD EV for shoppers who want a design-forward crossover with an upscale feel instead of a stripped-down commuter.
The Eco is the range-focused version, with 349 horsepower, up to 256 miles of EPA range, a 15.6-inch touchscreen, and a head-up display that puts key information in the driver’s line of sight. The 402-horsepower Plus emphasizes comfort with a panoramic sunroof, heated and ventilated front and rear seats, a hands-free power liftgate, and an upgraded audio system.
