2026 VinFast VF 9 review

VinFast VF 9: everyday electric done right. Illustrative review

8.4/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 VinFast VF 9 sits near the top of its class. Roomy second row and flexible cargo floor; standard driver-assist suite. Engine gets loud under hard acceleration and touch-only climate controls on some trims, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $70,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.

Good, not perfect

The cargo room is the standout. My only gripe is the touchscreen climate controls, which I knew going in.

★★★★☆Rafael E. · Charlotte, NC · 25 months owned
Solid, with a few quirks

Replaced an older VinFast with this one. Big step up in cargo room; I'd like a little more power from the base engine.

Solid, with a few quirks

Bought it for the school runs and road trips and it has handled everything so far. Fuel economy has been close to the sticker in mixed driving.
