What is the VinFast VF7?
VinFast recently revealed its upcoming compact crossover EV, the VF7! Compared to VinFast’s other compact EV, the VF8, this five-passenger cruiser will come at an extremely competitive rate. In spite of its budget-friendly potential, though, the VF7 aims to please. This sporty EV features an ultra-modern exterior, with sloping lines and distinctive “eyebrow” LED headlamps. Inside, the VF7’s luxurious accommodations are even more impressive.
When the VF7 arrives, shoppers can choose between the base Eco trim model and the more exclusive Plus. The single-motor Eco lives up to its name with the longest battery range, and the Plus provides an extra jolt of speed from its dual-motor setup. And while both trim models are designed to be modern and accommodating, the Plus will also add extra luxury features!
Although VinFast hasn’t announced an arrival date, we hope to see this compact EV SUV arrive Stateside sometime next year! Call or text us at Alan Jay VinFast for updates.

VinFast VF7 Eco
The most efficient option, the VF7 Eco, can travel an estimated 280 miles with a fully charged battery. The entry-level VF7 trim model is also a peppy choice, supplying 201 horsepower from its 75.3 kWH battery. The VF7 Eco’s single electric motor sends power to the front wheels.
- Single electric motor (201 hp, 228 lb-ft of torque)

For both greater power and sportier handling, give the VF7 Plus a go. This EV’s dual-motor setup offers a total of 348 horsepower. And with one motor on each axle, the Plus sends power to all four wheels! All-wheel drive means sharper handling in a turn, but it’s also helpful on rainy roads, where enhanced traction means greater safety. The VF7 Plus can travel an estimated 268 miles between charges.

- All-wheel drive
- 268-mile range
How much is the VinFast VF7?
VinFast has yet to release details about how much this compact crossover EV will cost, but our industry experts predict an MSRP around $37,000. Compared to competitors like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 (from $41,800) or Kia EV6 (from $42,000), the VF7 is set to be a very budget-friendly option!
Does VinFast sell EVs in the U.S.A.?
Yes! VinFast first debuted its VF8 for the 2024 model year. This compact EV’s excellent price and competitive warranty coverage helped the company quickly spread to 13 states: Florida, Alabama, Texas, New Mexico, Connecticut, Kentucky, California, and North Carolina!
Is VinFast owned by China?
No. VinFast is Vietnam’s first electric vehicle manufacturer! The company recently moved its base of operations to Singapore, but its main assembly operation remains in Vietnam. By 2025, however, VinFast plans to have opened its American factory in Chatham County, North Carolina. By the time the VinFast VF7 debuts in the U.S. market, it just might be an American-made EV!
