The full-size VF9 model made its debut together with the smaller VF6 and VF8 models as the largest of the range of electric crossovers unveiled in January 2021, being the first vehicles of this type by the Vietnamese manufacturer.[2]
The VF9 is characterized by a massive silhouette with a length of over 5.1 meters, gaining an avant-garde stylized silhouette with a two-module window line, as well as narrow strips of headlamps and rear lamps consisting of Matrix LED lighting.[3] Characterized by AWD, the vehicle will accommodate a maximum of 7 people on three rows of seats.
