VinFast VF 9
The VinFast VF 9 is a larger variant of the VF 8 with seating for six or seven. This electric SUV stands 5.12 metres long and features a larger battery, too (123 kWh vs. 87.7 kWh). Maximum range varies between 468 and 531 km, which sounds quite promising. Unfortunately for customers, reliability is a big question mark, though VinFast offers a tremendous warranty. Over-the-air software updates are available to fix any electronic issue.
