Two VinFast VF 8s were seen on a specialized transport vehicle in Hai Phong. Compared to the VF 8s that appeared at the factory, this one looks more strange with the matte black exterior and the logo covered up like the test cars.

If you pay close attention, you can see that under the adhesive tape is the words VF e35, not VF 8. VF e35 is the old name of VF 8. Therefore, it is not excluded that these are test cars. The old version still has the VF e35 logo. This car is rumored to be present at a registration center in Hai Phong.
As expected, the first VF 8s will be delivered from next July, which is only about 2 months away. If like VF e34, VF 8 will have to be divided into several deliveries due to insufficient number of vehicles.

VF 8 will be VinFast’s second electric car model to be sold on the market, after the VF e34. The VF 8’s old name VF e35 also shows that. This model is in a segment compared to the VF e34. The car belongs to the D-size SUV/crossover segment, about the same size as Mercedes-Benz GLC or Hyundai Santa Fe.
This model has modern equipment such as “full” LED lights, 15.4-inch screen, panoramic sunroof, smart technology features in the ADAS and Smart Services packages. The electric motor has a capacity of 402 horsepower, 640 Nm of torque and 4-wheel drive system. Two versions of VF 8 give a range of about 460 km and 510 km after a single charge.
There are 2 versions of VF 8 sold in Vietnam, with prices from 1,057 billion VND. Early buyers with a deposit of 50 million are receiving a voucher worth 150 million, ADAS package, Smart Services and Vinpearl resort.
In addition to Vietnam, VF 8 is also sold in the US, Canada, some European countries and Israel. This model has also been seen in China as a test vehicle. However, up to this point, VinFast has not announced any information about the sale of electric cars in this market of billions of people.
If the VF 8 is constantly revealed, even with a prototype at the factory, the senior VF 9 is somewhat more discreet. This model has just appeared in the form of an unfinished prototype.
