VinFast VF 7
Unveiled at the same time as the smaller VF 6, the VF 7 is a compact electric crossover offering more cargo space. The base Eco model uses a single motor (201 horsepower) driving the front wheels and a 75.3kWh battery enabling an estimated range of about 365 km. Meanwhile, the dual-motor Plus model (348 horsepower) benefits from all-wheel drive, but range is a bit limited at an estimated 350 km. It does come with a glass roof. Reliability is a big question mark.
