The Philippines is the first market outside of Vietnam to receive the VF 8. This highlights the country’s role in VinFast’s aggressive global expansion. At the same time, it is striving to meet the real-world mobility needs of Filipino families, especially those who are thinking of making the EV switch.

Guided by the “Tech Fluid” design philosophy, the VF 8 features a modern, dynamic exterior with a focus on everyday practicality. Measuring 4,701 mm in length, 1,872 mm in width, and 1,670 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,840 mm, the five-seat SUV provides space for family travel. Its 170 mm ground clearance and 19-inch wheels support driving across varied road conditions. It comes in four colors: Infinity Blanc, Starburst Blue, Jet Black, and Solar Ruby with a Black Roof.

The cabin features an intuitive layout that puts key controls within easy reach. A 12.9-inch central infotainment display integrates the vehicle’s main functions, complemented by a display behind the steering wheel that provides essential driving information. A steering-column-mounted gear selector simplifies operation for added convenience in everyday use. It also has dual zone climate control and a full set of safety equipment.

The VF 8 is powered by an electric motor delivering a maximum output of 231 horsepower (170 kW) and peak torque of 330 Nm driving the front wheels. It comes with three drive modes: Eco, Normal, and Sport. Its 60.13 kWh battery provides a range of 480 kilometers on a full charge (NEDC). AC charging is capped at 7.2 kW, while DC fast charging is also supported with a 10 to 70 percent time in under 30 minutes (peak 100 kW).

Like other VinFast models, the VF 8 offers the choice of purchasing the vehicle with the battery included or opting for a battery subscription to suit their needs and financial plans. The VF 8 comes with a vehicle warranty of seven years or 160,000 kilometers and a high-voltage battery warranty of 10 years or 200,000 kilometers, whichever comes first.

Mr. Antonio “Toti” Zara III, CEO of VinFast Philippines, said: “The launch of the all-new VF 8 marks another milestone in VinFast’s long-term commitment to the Philippines and our vision for the future of electric mobility. Comprehensive improvements to its design, driving dynamics and technology reflect our continued investment in research and development to deliver a smoother, more comfortable and more intelligent driving experience. We believe the All-New VF 8 will strengthen VinFast’s premium electric vehicle lineup in the Philippines, offering a compelling choice that meets the increasingly diverse mobility needs of Filipino consumers.”
