The VinFast VF 9 Plus targets the premium three-row electric SUV market with an ambitious 330-mile range and seating for seven. The 402-horsepower dual-motor AWD provides acceptable performance for a large family hauler, and the 15.6-inch touchscreen creates a modern cabin centerpiece. However, the VF 9 inherits and amplifies many of the VF 8 shortcomings: ride quality is unsettled, road and wind noise intrusion is excessive for a vehicle at this price, and interior materials do not meet the expectations set by the 70 thousand dollar asking price. The driving experience lacks the refinement of the BMW iX and Mercedes EQS SUV, with imprecise steering and a chassis that feels underdeveloped. Third-row space is adequate but not class-leading despite the vehicle considerable dimensions. The developing dealer and service network remains a practical concern. VinFast commitment to entering the global market is notable, but the VF 9 Plus needs substantial improvement in ride quality, interior quality, and overall driving refinement to justify its positioning against established luxury EV competitors.
