2025 VinFast VF 8 SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2025 Vinfast VF 8 is an electric five-passenger midsize SUV available in Eco and Plus trim levels. Both have dual-motor all-wheel-drive layouts with the same 87.7-kWh battery pack but differ in terms of motor output and range. The Eco produces 349 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque while providing a VinFast-estimated 256 miles of range. The Plus produces 402 hp and 457 lb-ft of torque and offers an estimated 235 miles of range.

Eco
The base VF 8 comes equipped with an ample amount of standard equipment that includes:

  • 19-inch wheels
  • LED headlights
  • Heated power-folding mirrors
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Heated power front seats
  • Synthetic leather upholstery
  • Heated steering wheel
  • 15.6-inch infotainment touchscreen
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
  • Eight-speaker sound system

Also included is a lengthy list of standard driver assist features:

  • Forward collision warning with automatic braking (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane keeping assistance (steers the VF 8 back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the VF 8 and the car in front)
  • Safe exit warning (can warn a rear passenger about opening a door into traffic approaching from behind)
  • 360-degree camera system (gives you a top-down view of the VF 8 and its surroundings in tight parking situations)

There is also a standard suite of infotainment features Vinfast calls out separately as VF Connect. It includes:

  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity
  • Wi-Fi-based streaming entertainment apps
  • Navigation
  • Voice controls
  • App-based remote vehicle controls
  • Special vehicle modes (Camp, Pet and Valet)

Plus
Besides its more powerful motor output, the VF 8 Plus equipment upgrades include:

  • 20-inch wheels
  • Hands-free power liftgate
  • Upgraded synthetic leather upholstery
  • Additional power front seat adjustments
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Heated power-adjustable steering wheel
  • Heated and ventilated rear seats
  • Upgraded sound system

Which VF 8 trim does Edmunds recommend?

If you're set on getting a VF 8, the Eco version is the better choice than the Plus. It's cheaper and has more range. You should also be satisfied with its collection of standard features. The Plus has more power and some additional features, such as ventilated front seats, but we don't think it's worth the added cost.
