By VinFast officially launched the all-new VF8 in the Philippines, introducing an upgraded all-electric D-segment SUV designed for families seeking comfort, technology, and enhanced electric driving performance. The new model features comprehensive improvements to its exterior design, chassis, electrical and electronic architecture, and vehicle systems, delivering a smoother, more responsive, and comfortable driving experience. The Philippines is also the first international market to launch the all-new VF8, underscoring the country’s growing importance in VinFast’s global product expansion. The SUV is priced at ₱1,548,000 with a battery subscription and ₱1,799,000 with the battery included, with customer deliveries expected to begin in November 2026.
Following VinFast’s “Tech Fluid” design philosophy, the all-new VF8 combines a modern, dynamic exterior with the practicality of a family-oriented SUV. It measures 4,701 mm long, 1,872 mm wide, and 1,670 mm high, with a 2,840 mm wheelbase and 170 mm ground clearance. Its five-seat configuration provides space for family journeys, while 19-inch wheels complement its road presence. Inside, the cabin features an intuitive layout centered around a 12.9-inch infotainment touchscreen that integrates the vehicle’s main functions. A separate driver information display behind the steering wheel provides essential driving details, while the steering-column-mounted gear selector simplifies operation and improves everyday convenience.
Powering the all-new VF8 is an electric motor producing 170 kW of maximum output and 330 Nm of peak torque, delivered through a front-wheel-drive configuration. Drivers can select from Eco, Normal, and Sport driving modes to suit their preferences and road conditions. The SUV is equipped with a 60.13 kWh battery that provides a claimed driving range of up to 480 kilometers under the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) standard. For added convenience on longer journeys, its super-fast charging capability allows the battery to charge from 10% to 70% in under 30 minutes, helping reduce charging stops and make electric mobility more practical for everyday use.
VinFast gives customers the flexibility to choose between purchasing the VF8 with the battery included or opting for a battery subscription, allowing buyers to select an ownership arrangement that suits their needs and financial plans. The all-new VF 8 comes with a vehicle warranty of seven years or 160,000 kilometers, whichever comes first, while its high-voltage battery is covered by a 10-year or 200,000-kilometer warranty, whichever comes first. Antonio “Toti” Zara III, CEO of VinFast Philippines, said the launch represents another milestone in the company’s long-term commitment to the country, with the latest improvements reflecting its continued investment in research and development and its vision for more intelligent and comfortable electric mobility.
The introduction of the all-new VF8 also forms part of VinFast’s broader expansion strategy in the Philippines. Alongside its growing electric vehicle lineup, the company is developing its dealership network, aftersales services, and charging infrastructure with the support of V-Green and local partners. By strengthening its products and ownership support, VinFast aims to make the transition to electric vehicles more convenient and accessible for Filipino motorists. With its updated design, five-seat practicality, 480-kilometer claimed range, and flexible battery ownership options, the all-new VF 8 further strengthens the brand’s premium electric vehicle offerings in the local market.
