VinFast Philippines has been having a big year, and it’s looking to end strong with the launch of its newest vehicle: the all-new VF8.
This compact crossover, like the rest of the Vietnamese carmaker’s lineup, is a fully electric vehicle. It stands 4,701mm long, 1,872mm wide, and 1,670mm tall and has 170mm of ground clearance. It’s got a sleek front fascia matched with a stylish rear end. In the non-black variants, the grille and a portion of the tailgate remain blacked-out, which make for a somewhat two-tone look.
Powering the all-new VF8 is a 60.13kWh lithium iron phosphate battery and a single front-mounted electric motor producing 228hp and 330Nm of torque. This electrified powertrain promises a maximum range of 480km on a single charge.
