Vinfast: The Vietnamese Automaker Introduces Itself as It Readies Canadian Debut this Fall

Hanoi, Vietnam – Let’s agree that Vietnam is not on the list of typical destinations when it comes to discovering an automotive product. And yet, we were there recently, and precisely to discover new models. And a new manufacturer, even...

Because this fall, there will be a new player in the automotive world in North America, including Canada. Its name is Vinfast, and we'll have two electric SUVs from it to start with.

VF 8
The first is called the VF 8 and it's a two-row model with a format that puts in somewhere between the Acura RDX and the Mercedes-Benz GLE, to give you an idea. The all-electric SUV is aimed at the luxury market, and its starting price in Canada is set at $51,250. But take note, there will also be a monthly cost (still to be determined) for rental of the battery pack.
