Vinfast Will Debut Three More New EVs at CES 2022
Vietnamese automaker VinFast continues its rollout on to the North American market with the announcement it will present three more new all-electric models at the next Consumer Electronics Show in early January.
The company presented its first two models, the VF e35 compact and VF e36 mid-sized SUVs, last month at the Los Angeles Auto Show. (Those models initially went under the VF e32 and VF e33 monikers but have since been renamed). The three follow-ups coming to CES 2022 remain unnamed, but they will fit into the A, B and C segments, the automaker says.
So what are we talking about exactly, then? We know that back in January, the company previewed three models, including the two later presented in Los Angeles as well as a smaller C-segment SUV, the VF e31, now renamed VF e34. At the time, reports had the model getting a 150-kW motor with maximum torque of 320 Nm (in a premium version) or an 85-kW motor with maximum torque of 190 Nm (in a standard version). Battery capacity was given as 42 kWh, with a range of up to 300 km.
That leaves two unidentified, A- and B-segment models. For the moment, there’s no word on what those models will be and what names these smaller vehicles will get, but we’ll find out in early January (and possibly before, courtesy leaks or teasers).
