LOS ANGELES, Nov. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- VinFast Auto has officially commenced delivery of its flagship VF 9 all-electric, 7-passenger, 3-row SUV to U.S. customers. This launch reinforces VinFast's commitment to establishing a foothold in one of the world's most competitive automotive markets while offering eco-conscious consumers premium choices in the full size SUV segment, which currently has limited electric vehicle options.

Beginning in November, the VF 9 will be available for delivery across VinFast's retail store network in California and through its dealerships, with prices starting at $69,800 for the Eco version and $73,800 for the Plus version. The first VF 9 customers received their vehicles during a customer event at VinFast's Los Angeles headquarters.

As part of a limited-time promotion for the first 100 VF 9 vehicles delivered in the U.S., VinFast is offering qualified lessees the Plus version for a lease price of $529 per month. This rate includes a direct discount of $3,500 and a down payment of $2,000. VinFast VF 9 Eco will be available in the U.S. market later this year.

Mr. Mike Nolte, Network Sales Vice President of VinFast U.S., stated: "We are very excited to officially hand over the VF 9, VinFast's second e-SUV model in the U.S. market. VF 9 is one of the few seven-passenger, 3-row electric car models on the market. We believe that the VF 9 will be the ideal vehicle for large families, delivering premium quality and a luxurious experience while maintaining excellent value."

The VF 9 is positioned as a seven-passenger, 3-row, all-electric SUV with dimensions of 201.5 inches in length, 78.9 inches in width, and 66.7 inches in height, making it ideal for families seeking spacious, eco-friendly transport. Its impressive ground clearance of 7.2 inches is ideal for a full-size SUV in today's market.

The vehicle offers an EPA-estimated range of 330 miles for the Eco model and 291 miles for the Plus model. It includes the VinFast app, which offers an extensive network of public charging options, more than most other OEM or third-party apps, making it easier for drivers to locate charging stations.

As the flagship model in VinFast's lineup, the VF 9 showcases a striking Pininfarina design and is equipped with advanced features, including an enhanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) and a smart infotainment suite. It includes 11 airbags, ensuring safety at every mile of the owner's journey. Ongoing software updates will provide optimal user experience.
