2025 VINFAST VF9 AWD SUV REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2025 VinFast VF9 AWD SUV is presented as a spacious and luxurious three-row electric vehicle. The reviewer highlights its purposeful styling, aerodynamic design, and a human-centric interior with Pininfarina design influence. Key positives include a comfortable ride, good build quality, high-quality materials, and impressive features like heated and cooled seats for both front and second-row passengers, which are rare at this price point. The EPA-rated range of 468 km appears to be accurate in warm weather, and charging speeds are considered decent, though not class-leading. The reviewer also praises the extensive warranty offered by VinFast. However, criticisms are leveled at the third-row space, which is deemed tight for adults on longer trips, and the slow operation of the powered hatch. A significant concern is the presence of software glitches, described as annoying but not critical, which detract from the premium feel of an $80,000 vehicle. Despite these issues, the reviewer ultimately recommends the VF9 as a competent and capable family car, urging potential buyers to test it themselves.
