The VF 7 is 1.7 inches longer than the latest BMW X1, with dimensions of 178.9 inches in length and 111.8 inches in wheelbase. It also has an additional 5.8 inches of space between the wheels, despite not being significantly larger overall.
The interior of the VF 7, an all-new model from a rising automaker, is familiar to anyone who has been in a modern SUV. The exterior’s simple design is reflected in the clean cabin, which is highlighted by a large 15.6-inch touchscreen display. The VF 7 Eco comes with cloth upholstery, while the Plus model is equipped with faux leather.
The VinFast VF 7 comes with standard connectivity features like Amazon Alexa voice command and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. In addition, the automaker plans to include two unusual apps: what3words, which assigns a unique combination of three words to every three square meters on the planet, and an in-car karaoke app for those moments when the only thing that can alleviate traffic stress is a lively sing-along session.
VinFast VF 7 Specifications
The entry-level Eco variant of the VF 7 is equipped with a 75.3 kWh battery and a front-mounted electric motor that produces 201 hp and 228 lb-ft of torque. VinFast aims for a WLTP range of 450 km with this configuration.
The VF 7 Plus uses the same battery pack, but it powers a dual-motor all-wheel drive system with a higher output of 348 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. This model is expected to have a slightly lower range of 431 km.
Much of the equipment from the VF 6 model is carried over to the VF 7, but the Eco variant features larger 19-inch wheels and the Plus model comes with 20-inch wheels. Additionally, the range-topping variant includes a larger 15-inch display instead of the 12.9-inch infotainment system in the lower trims.
