2024 VinFast VF8 Review! The VF8 is a fully electric crossover from a Vietnamese brand that nobody in America has ever heard of. It has been criticized for just about everything, today I am going to figure out if it deserves that reputation. I'll review this new VinFast VF8 and I'll show you the many quirks and features. I'm also going to get behind the wheel and show you what it's like to drive.

Doug, glad to have you review and test drive the VinFast VF8. I am one of the early adopters of the first model, the 2023 VF8 Plus City Edition. Drove everyday with more than 22,000 miles for more than 13 months before I upgraded to the 2024 model. Never had big issues with the 2023 City Edition, other than a few software updates. Love driving it, especially the ADAS on Sacramento freeways during commute, and never look back to ICE cars. Still get positive compliments from other drivers on regular basis. Many people liked the design because it looks more like a normal SUV, and they particularly loved the luxurious and spacious interior. For those interested in learning about my user/owner experience with the VF8, I shared many videos on my channel.

A lot of people forget that Pininfarina didn't only work for high-end sportscar manufacturers. They were a design studio devoted to many other vehicles that are similarly anonymous such as the Hyundai Matrix, Daewoo Lacetti, the newest Mitsubishi Lancer, and several Peugeot sedans, so seeing them do a more high production model isn't that unusual. I also had to laugh when Doug was complaining about the anonymous styling both inside and out. It sounds like his big complaint is that there are almost no "quirks and features" for him to point out.

The vast majority of vehicles are so good now the reviewers are always looking for nits to pick.

For example, test vehicles having Vietnamese navigation maps and other weird stuff like that. Doesn't inspire confidence.

@cbotten106 not when i did my drive test. Everything was good. The thing is these "reviewers" deliberately look for one thats in the worst condition and review it and another like donut. Crying about headache. I got 2 kids riding this thing all day and my wife gets car sickness sometimes but no one ever complaint about that since we got this vehicle. Other crying issues about the vehicle that i have not experienced. The problem is these guys dont own the vehicle. Theres a difference in having it as your personal vehicle and just sitting in it for 20 minutes. The vehicle has a 10 year warranty. Since i got this vehicle they havent failed to deliver their support or concerns everytime i contact them.

Honestly, I am very impressed with VinFast's electric car models. When I was in Vietnam, I used many public transportation services, including the taxi service with VinFast electric cars. Even though I was only in the back passenger seat or the front passenger seat, I could feel the excellent quality of the car, with smooth, reliable, and solid performance. I have used cars like the S450, Macan Turbo S, GLC250, and 4Runner, and I'm pretty sure that if I have the opportunity, I will try to own my first electric car, either the VF8 or VF9. People in Canada will definitely find the VF8 and VF9 intriguing.

In Vietnam, Japanese and Korean cars were once revered, and Vinfast cars were disliked more than anywhere else in the world. However, Vinfast now has a larger market share than any other car brand in Vietnam. When buying my car, I was sure I would choose a brand like Toyota, Ford, Kia, or Hyundai. Vinfast was somewhere at the bottom of my priority list. However, after test driving it twice, I decided to buy a Vinfast. What I like most about Vinfast is the comfortable, solid, and safe driving experience. In Vietnam, many people jokingly call Vinfast a tank because of its sturdiness and its ability to protect the driver in serious accidents

The way automakers are ditching buttons on dashboards for a big screen is a terrible idea, when your travelling down the highway at 60+mph you’d wanna be pressing something and KNOWING you’ve pressed something to operate a core function rather than glance over at your giant touchscreen for about 2 seconds to check if it even registered your touch or if you tapped the correct area.

I have to schlep downtown to the CHUM 3 times a week and I regularly catch a glimpse of Vinfasts. Maybe it's confirmation bias, but I see more VF8s than I see BYD taxis, for example.

I like Vinfast VF8. Why? It's because I am driving one. I used to spend $100 on filling up the gas tank of the same size gas-powered SUV, but I now pay only about $40 to charge from 12% to 90% ($0.58/kWh for non-member if you're a member, you pay only $0.40/kWh, and you would pay about $33, stead of $40) at a supercharging Electrify America. With a 65% battery from 80% down to 15% on a single charge, my VF8 Plus can go roughly 170 miles during the normal weather condition in California! The best thing is now that I don't have to nervously look at the gasoline prices whenever driving past a gas station! Also, I no longer smell or see any oil leaks on my garage floor. YESSSS!

I had that style of turn signal stalk in my older X3. It does not take long to get used to using it. However, as stated, there is no real reason for them to operate that way. It does not solve any problem, or make things better. And when someone else drives the car, you have to explain to them how to use the turn signals. Something one should never have to do.

@nicholasgannam1957
@nicholasgannam1957 13 дней назад
@@MikeKayK it works similar to a digital camera shutter. There is a noticeable “half click” on the stalk that cancels the turn signal. Also the “half click” does a 3 blink flash so tbh I find myself just flicking the turn signal with the half click for a quick 3 blink when changing lanes. The turn signals cancel natural when making a full turn . So cancelling with the half click is a non issue 99% of the time. It is a needless change tho. The more outrageous thing here is the nightmare fuel hood latch.

Their previous carmaking experience was essentially 4-5 years of making rebodied BMWs and Chevys, and they've never designed an entire car themselves. Thankfully EVs aren't TOO complicated to make. Hire the Italians to draw the body and interiors. Hire the Chinese to source the battery and drivetrain systems. Hire some Indians to write some of the software. Hire some Germans to consult on building a modern(ish) car factory. Slap all those things together. Hence you get a working car, but not well integrated car, since all the different major components were farmed out and quickly slapped together.

Test drove a VF8 and drove alright. Didn't get motion sick like Donut Media and everything seemed screwed together. Throttle mapping not as linear as I wanted, BMW blinker stalk is annoying. Backup camera quality was decent but would sometimes lag a bit. Might be worth checking out in 5-10 years if they're still around. Still better than a Fisker.

Vinfast is mainly focussing on the Vietnamese and Asian car market, which is growing fast! And they do pretty well there, specially cause no import tax, and oh boy, Vietnam got high import tax on such luxury items like cars! Another thing, many Grab Drivers for example (similar to Uber) buy them! So, I think in the US and European market Vinfast will have pretty tough times selling their cars but they will do fine in SEA markets!

Well, it seems that Vinfast is learning on the fly; I feel badly for the early adopters that had to serve as Test Dummies…but The Company seems to take to heart all the vicious early reviews… Honestly, it was rushed to market, much like the Fisker Ocean Tragedy, but Vinfast may have more Capital and good business brains to fix this before a devastating crash… Vinfast is in a wild world of EV and Tech development that changes daily…they remind me of the earliest days of the Hyundai Pony… and the efforts to gain respect in the world market…but consider where Genesis is today- impressive. OK, Vinfast…take a Mulligan on the first hole… …hit the shower to regroup, then show us your best, sound good..? See you on the 19th…give it time.

14:48 i know why. because KPH. in other markets (including where its made) they use kph. so the display goes to 300 because they decided 300kph was a good sounding "top speed", kinda like how my 15 year old 2.5 liter camry speedo goes up to 140mph. its easier just to display mph then to full convert everything to mph

I never would've thought that a significant part of a car review would be reviewing its operating system. Then again, at one point I never expected there to be touchscreens, either. One surprise in car design that I'd like to see is a return to the beautiful styling of the 1950s and 1960s.

Likely the "calibrate" function on the sunroof is so the car can relocate its position after a dead battery. I've seen similar situations with power windows and power convertible tops.
