Vinfast VF8 – What’s New?

The Vinfast VF8 recently got a second-generation update in its home country. Now, the same model has been patented in India. The model will be slotted above the VF7 in the brand’s India portfolio. The VF8 is a two-row SUV, sporting a premium look with a clean design. The front fascia remains identical to the other Vinfast models, featuring a light bar and a V-shaped logo. The SUV looks quite premium at its price point.

Talking about the interiors, the Vinfast VF8 features a 12.9-inch infotainment unit, a digital driver’s display, an 8-speaker sound system, a 6-way powered driver’s seat with memory function, an ADAS suite, a 360-degree camera, an electronic parking brake, dual-zone climate control, and more. However, the VF8 lacks a panoramic sunroof/glass roof, which is available on the VF7 and VF6.
