Vietnam's Compact SUV Of The Year, The VinFast VF 7 Packs Features, Design, And Performance


The recently-launched VinFast VF 7 recently clinched the title of Best Compact SUV in its home market of Vietnam. Although you could chuck it to having a home court advantage, VinFast is adamant that its cutting-edge features, sleek design, and unmatched performance won jurors over. And this is something, they say, Filipinos can enjoy in equal measure.

For starters, there’s the performance. The dual-motor VF 7 generates 348 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque—impressive numbers whatever your standard. Plus, its 75.3-kWh battery gives it a range of up to 496 kilometers—enough to travel with no range anxiety.

Then, there’s the tech, particularly when it comes to safety. The VF 7 comes with 22 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems—the most in its class. For the skeptics out there, we listed them down and counted 24:
  1. Traffic Jam Assist
  2. Highway Assist
  3. Lane Departure Warning
  4. Lane Keeping Assist
  5. Lane Centering Assist
  6. Lane Changing Assist
  7. Auto Lane Changing Assist
  8. Adaptive Cruise Control
  9. Intelligent Speed Adaptation
  10. Traffic Sign Recognition
  11. Forward Collision Warning
  12. Rear Cross Traffic Alert
  13. Blind Spot Detection
  14. Door Open Warning
  15. Front Automatic Emergency Brake
  16. Rear Automatic Emergency Brake
  17. Intersection Assist
  18. Emergency Lane Keep Assist
  19. Front Parking Assist
  20. Rear Parking Assist
  21. Remote Parking Assist
  22. 360-degree Surround View Monitoring
  23. Automatic High Beam / Adaptive Driving Beam
  24. Driver Monitoring
The VF 7’s performance and safety is wrapped in a body whose style VinFast describes as “Asymmetric Universe” thanks to its sharp lines and aeronautical-inspired silhouette. Inside, it’s all about minimalist luxury with a central 12.9-inch touchscreen that integrates most of the controls. And thanks to having the longest wheelbase in its class, it’s an absolute sanctuary in terms of comfort.

Being a battery electric vehicle, VinFast is offering an accessible way for Filipinos to go zero emissions. Starting at P 6,300 per month for the Base trim’s battery subscription plan, drivers can tailor their costs to match their driving habits, making EV ownership more affordable than ever.

VinFast also backs its vehicles with unmatched warranties: a 10-year/200,000-kilometer vehicle warranty and a 10-year unlimited mileage battery warranty (for battery purchases). These commitments reflect the brand’s confidence in its products and its dedication to supporting customers throughout their EV journey.

The VinFast VF 7 comes with an exclusive promotion available only until December 31, 2024. Secure a reservation for just P 5,000 and receive free items, including a wall charger or portable charger, floor matting, and a tire repair kit.
