VINFAST VF8 70-MPH HIGHWAY RANGE TEST!

EV Channels Review

The VinFast VF8 Eco underwent a 70 mph highway range test, achieving a real-world result of 246 miles. This figure represents 93% of its EPA estimate, a respectable outcome given the perfect testing conditions. While the range is considered usable for many, the reviewer highlights numerous quirks and issues that detract from the overall experience. Significant criticisms include frequent driver assistance system faults, a cluttered and sometimes unresponsive software interface, and a lack of basic features like automatic turn signal cancellation and persistent climate control settings. The reviewer also notes the poor quality of the infotainment screen's CarPlay resolution and a disappointing sound system, despite a well-designed volume knob. Although the exterior design and color are praised, and the car is deemed a decent road tripper with good NVH and ride quality, the persistent software glitches and driver assistance failures are considered deal-breakers for the reviewer. The VF8's value proposition is heavily tied to aggressive lease deals, as its purchase price faces strong competition.
