Overview
After a false start, Vietnamese startup automaker VinFast is giving its VF9 electric mid-size SUV another go in the U.S. market. This handsomely styled and generously equipped EV features three rows of seats, all-wheel drive, and 402 horsepower. Its driving range, estimated by the EPA at 287 miles per charge, is roughly on par with other mid-size electric SUVs.
The cabin looks nice and features plenty of amenities, but we haven’t had a chance to take one for a test drive just yet. We have, however, driven its smaller sibling, the VF8, and our initial impressions of that model were less than complimentary. If you’re in the mood to drive something unique and can stomach the potential risk of buying a vehicle from a start-up automaker, the VF9 is worth a test drive.
Expert Tip: If you need three rows but want more driving range, the Hyundai Ioniq 9 offers a similar form factor but can travel for up to 311 miles per charge.
VinFast’s flagship three-row SUV skipped the 2026 model year but has returned for 2027 with a new, lower price. The previous entry-level trim was the Eco, but that’s been jettisoned from the lineup—for now—leaving the Plus trim as the sole offering. In 2025, the Plus commanded an optimistic $75,190, but for 2027 it’s been reduced by $10,900 to $64,290. The base Eco trim could return to the lineup later on with an even lower price.
If this year's model is largely unchanged and you're comfortable with a lightly used car, you may want to consider shopping previous model years. A one-to-three-year-old model will likely have a warranty and it'll cost less than buying new.

Pricing and Which One to Buy
EV Motor, Power, and Performance
The VF9 is all-wheel drive and uses two electric motors to generate 402 horsepower. We haven’t driven the VF9 yet, but we found the suspension of the smaller VF8 to be in need of some tuning. Whether that applies to the VF9, we will learn when we get behind the wheel. When we do, we'll report our findings here.
0–60-MPH Times
In Comparison: The VF9’s estimated 60 mph time puts it at a disadvantage when compared to other three-row electric SUVs we’ve tested. The Kia EV9, for example, needed just 4.5 seconds to reach 60 mph in our testing.
Towing and Payload Capacity
In Comparison: Both the Kia EV9 and the Hyundai Ioniq 9, key rivals for the VF9, are capable of towing up to 5000 pounds.
Range, Charging, and Battery Life
The EPA estimates the VF9’s driving range at 287 miles per charge. That estimate is competitive with most trims of the EV9, but all of the Ioniq 9’s variants offer over 300 miles per charge. VinFast says the VF9 can charge from 10 to 70 percent in 35 minutes.
Fuel Economy and Real-World MPGe
Fuel economy estimates for the VF9 come in at 70 MPGe city, 65 MPGe highway, and 68 MPGe combined. When we get a chance, we'll take the VF9 on our 75-mph highway fuel economy route to test its real-world efficiency. For more information about the VF9’s fuel economy, visit the EPA's website.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
First Row: The VF9’s cabin looks premium in photos, sporting a three-row layout and a pleasant design. Faux-leather power-adjustable seats with heat are standard, as is dual-zone automatic climate control and an air ionizer to help remove smells from the cabin.
Second Row: A three-across rear bench seat is standard, but you can choose a pair of captain’s chairs as an option; doing so also adds a massing feature for second-row occupants. Passenger space looks to be generous regardless of the seating configuration.
Third Row: We haven’t climbed into the VF9’s third row yet, but it looks to be a place where kids would fit comfortably and that adults would find snug.
Cargo Capacity: A power-operated rear liftgate will open hands-free if you kick your foot under the rear bumper, but we’re not yet sure how much cargo space we’ll find back there once the hatch is open.
Infotainment and Connectivity
A large centrally located 15.6-inch dashboard-mounted display serves as the infotainment touchscreen as well as the digital gauge display, a design similar to that of the Tesla Model Y. A head-up display also projects critical information onto the windshield in front of the driver, so those who don’t like the idea of glancing to the right to keep an eye on speed will be able to have that info available straight ahead. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto both come standard; all VF9s ship with a 13-speaker stereo.
Safety and Driver-Assistance Features
All VF9 models come with a comprehensive package of driver-assistance features, including some convenient ones such as automatic high-beam headlamps and traffic sign recognition.
For information about the VF9’s crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites.
Warranty and Maintenance Coverage
VinFast’s generous 10-year/125,000-mile warranty coverage should help assuage the fears that come with taking the plunge on an electric SUV from an unknown brand. Both the Hyundai and the Kia come close to that offering, as each comes with a 10-year warranty policy that extends to 100,000 miles.
C/D Test Results and Specs
Each year, we put hundreds of vehicles through our rigorous instrumented testing regimen. If the data in the chart below is for a different model year, that's because this vehicle hasn't changed from when we last tested it, and the test results remain accurate.
