Is leasing a VinFast EV right for you?
Depending on your daily drive, leasing can offer major savings, everyday luxury, and the safety net of a new-car warranty. But it may not be for you, depending on how you use your vehicle. Let’s take a look at the pros and cons of leasing.
Pros of Leasing
Leasing is an appealing option in more ways than one. Compared to financing a vehicle, most drivers who lease end up paying a lower monthly payment. Better still, leasing is a laidback experience, since the majority of your troubles are covered by a new-car warranty. And once your lease is up, it’s time to sign up for another brand new vehicle, featuring the latest innovations in comfort and tech! For drivers who use their vehicle for work, you could potentially enjoy extra tax breaks, since you can deduct both vehicle depreciation and financing costs.
- Lower monthly costs
- Worry-free maintenance
- Drive a new car every few years
- Potentially higher tax breaks
- Zero resale troubles
Cons of Leasing
Of course, leasing isn’t for everyone. During the length of your leasing agreement, you’ll need to keep the mileage under an agreed-upon figure. For instance, VinFast’s current 24-month leasing agreements requires you to keep the mileage under 20,000 miles or pay $0.25 per mile over this limit. If you have a long commute to work, then, leasing might not be ideal. Another downside is that since you don’t own the vehicle, you won’t be able to trade it in as part of a downpayment on your next car.
- You don’t own the vehicle
- Leasing restrictions and potential fees
This compact EV was the first VinFast model to debut stateside. And while it wasn’t a fan favorite during its debut model year, the automaker was quick to make big changes to better suit American drivers. For the next model year, the 2024 VF8 introduced a much smoother, more comfortable ride along with its speedy EV powertrain, high-end interior, and smartphone-savvy infotainment setup.
There are two VF8 trim models, the Eco and the Plus. The Eco offers the longest driving range, cruising for 264 miles between charges. It’s also handsomely equipped with luxury features, including a head-up display, wireless smartphone charger, and dual-zone automatic climate control. The even more luxurious Plus maximizes speed, boosting output to 402 horsepower. This trim is practically overflowing with upscale upgrades, including front-seat ventilation, a panoramic sunroof, and a premium sound system!

You can lease one of two trim models, the Eco and Plus. The Eco will keep you on the road the longest between charges, thanks to its 330-mile electric range. And the souped-up Plus will get you around faster, with a boosted battery output of 402 horses. Both crossover EVs are handsomely equipped, with standard premium vegan leather seating, a premium vegan leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a wireless smartphone charger.
