[Auto] 2024 VinFast VF9 Electric SUV Gets a $10K Price Cut with Deliveries Imminent

[GL HERO SHIMA]

VinFast's three-row VF9, its second electric SUV, will start at $71,000 for the Eco trim, which has a 330-mile range.

That price is $10,000 less than the previously listed base price, and all VF9s will come with a head-up display and heated driver's seat as standard.

Deliveries of the 2024 VF9 are due to finally start in September.

The VinFast VF9, the second electric SUV from the Vietnamese startup automaker, may finally go on sale soon. It's been roughly a year since VinFast announced range estimates for the three-row crossover, which was originally intended to go on sale in the fourth quarter of 2023. Now VinFast has updated pricing for the VF9, slashing the cost by $10,000, as deliveries are expected to begin within the next month.

While the previously listed base price for the VinFast VF9 was $81,000, VinFast is now advertising the VF9 at $71,000 for the most affordable Eco trim. The Plus trim costs $75,000 and gains luxurious extras like a panoramic glass roof, vegan leather upholstery, and second-row captain's chairs. The Plus also rides on 21-inch wheels instead of the Eco's 20 inchers and features 12-way power adjustable driver's seat with ventilation, memory, and massage functions, along with upgraded front passenger and second-row seating. All VF9s come standard with a 15.6-inch touchscreen, head-up display, heated driver's seat, and a 13-speaker sound system.

VinFast says the VF9 will be shipped to dealerships in September, and despite the year being nearly three-quarters of the way done, initial sales of the VF9 will still be for the 2024 model year. The VF9 has been in the works for a while now, originally revealed back in 2021 as the VF e36, and VF9s have been spotted testing on U.S.
