VinFast has recently delivered the first batch of 27 VF 9 all-electric SUVs to customers in Hanoi, Da Nang, and Ho Chi Minh City. This comes almost a year after the VF 9 was first introduced to the public, and marks an important milestone for VinFast in its efforts to expand globally.
The initial batch of VF 9s delivered to customers in Vietnam features a 6-seat configuration with two captain’s seats in the second row. The vehicle boasts a host of premium features including a panoramic glass roof (Plus version), integrated massage function with heated and ventilated front seats (Plus version), a 15.6-inch central infotainment screen, an 8-inch infotainment screen for the second row (Plus version), windshield HUD, auto-dimming outside rearview mirrors (Plus version), and many other options.

The VF 9 is equipped with level 2 ADAS and Smart Services, and its electric motor can deliver up to 300 kW (402 hp) of power and 620 N·m of torque. Its 92 kWh battery pack provides a range of up to 438 km for the Eco version and 423 km for the Plus version on a full charge (WLTP target).
VinFast plans to deliver more VF 9s to individual customers nationwide, and they can choose to receive their vehicles either at a VinFast showroom or at their home. In addition to the 6-seat configuration, the VF 9 also comes in a 7-seat option, which is expected to be delivered to customers in the near future.
“This delivery event is the beginning of VinFast’s series of events that will be consistently held on a global basis. We expect to export the VF 8 standard edition models to the US and Canadian markets in April 2023 and expect to soon deliver the VF 5 Plus model to customers in the Vietnamese market. Following that, we expect to export the VF 9 and open reservation for the VF 6 and VF 7 in the coming months,” said Le Thi Thu Thuy, Vice Chairwoman of Vingroup and CEO of VinFast Holdings.
