The VinFast VF 9 lineup has two clear choices. The Eco is the practical, range-focused trim, with the model’s core all-wheel-drive electric power, family-sized cabin, large-screen technology, and comfort features. The Plus is the upscale branch, adding a panoramic glass roof and richer front- and rear-seat comfort for shoppers who prioritize a more premium cabin.
The Base Model trim level, sold as Eco, is the range-focused VF 9 that emphasizes family usefulness and core comfort over luxury extras.
Best for: Family EV shoppers who value longer-distance driving, a roomy cabin, and useful technology more than premium seating upgrades.
Highlights
The Premium Features trim level, sold as Plus, is the comfort-focused VF 9 with a more upscale cabin for everyday drives and family trips.
Best for: Shoppers who want a large electric SUV with extra front- and rear-seat comfort and a brighter, more premium-feeling cabin.
Highlights
Adds the panoramic glass roof, driver-seat memory, ventilated and massaging front seats, and extensive second-row comfort upgrades. It keeps dual-motor all-wheel drive but trades some driving range for those added cabin features.

The early U.S. lineup was described with Eco and Plus trims. Eco was the range-focused base model, while Plus was the more comfort-focused version. The latest lineup information shown here lists only the Plus.
The Eco is the early lineup’s range-focused VF 9. It combines seven seats, 402 horsepower, all-wheel drive, a 15.6-inch touchscreen, heated front seats, and an EPA-rated 330-mile range.
The Plus is the VF 9’s more upscale trim. It keeps the 402-horsepower all-wheel-drive system and adds a panoramic glass roof, richer front- and second-row seat functions, and three-zone climate control.
The Eco emphasizes driving range and core family features, while the Plus emphasizes cabin comfort. The Plus adds a panoramic glass roof, ventilated and massaging seats, driver memory, and upgraded second-row seating, but its EPA estimate is lower.
Yes. Both trims in the early U.S. lineup use a 402-horsepower dual-motor all-wheel-drive system. Moving from Eco to Plus mainly changes comfort and cabin equipment rather than horsepower.
The Eco has the longer EPA estimate at 330 miles, compared with 291 miles for the Plus. That makes the Eco the range-first trim, while the Plus trades some rated distance for added cabin features.
The Plus adds a fixed panoramic glass roof, heated, ventilated, and massaging front seats, driver memory, upgraded second-row seats, and three-zone climate control with cabin filtration and an air ionizer.
Not always. The Eco is described with a seven-seat layout. Plus models were offered in both six- and seven-seat layouts, so shoppers should verify the second-row arrangement on the individual used vehicle.
The Plus gives the front seats more comfort functions. They are heated, ventilated, and massaging, while the driver also gets memory and 12-way power adjustment. The Eco has heated, power-adjustable front seats.
Yes. Plus models have power-adjustable second-row seats with heating, ventilation, and massage functions in both the six- and seven-seat layouts described for that trim.
Yes. Both the Eco and Plus are described with a 15.6-inch center touchscreen and a head-up display, which puts key driving information in the driver’s forward view. The Plus also lists built-in navigation.
The Eco is the stronger fit when rated driving distance matters most. Its EPA estimate is 330 miles, versus 291 miles for the Plus, while it retains the same 402-horsepower all-wheel-drive layout.
The Plus is the comfort-focused pick. Its ventilated and massaging front and second-row seats, panoramic glass roof, and three-zone climate system matter more when several passengers spend a lot of time in the SUV.
Yes. The Eco includes adaptive cruise control, lane centering, blind-spot monitoring, automatic emergency braking, parking assistance, and a 360-degree camera. It is range-focused rather than stripped of safety technology.
