Frunk Space, Boot Space, Cabin Space:
Thanks to the class-leading 2,840 mm wheelbase, cabin real estate is generous across the board. The rear seats are placed marginally higher than the front ones giving a theatre-like seating experience. The middle row can be reclined or moved forward to liberate more space in the last room.
Headroom too is sufficient even for the third row passengers, and that coupled with the large quarter glass, lends the cabin a roomy feel. We do, however, miss a panoramic sunroof in such a big car, which would have further enhanced the sense of airyness.
However, boot space is limited to just 126 liters with all three rows up. Thankfully, the seats split 50:50 and 60:40, opening up to a cavernous 1,240 liters when folded flat. Unlike the Kia Carens Clavis EV though, the VF MPV 7 doesn’t get any frunk space.
Headroom, Sitting Posture, Under-thigh support:
Unfortunately, the sheer vehicle length doesn’t translate perfectly to third-row comfort due to the battery’s raised floor. While adults can physically fit, they will sit with their knees raised, making it less than ideal for long hauls. The lack of charging ports in the final row is another slight inconvenience.
Moreover, the seats feel a bit too cushioned, which is great for short city runabouts, but compromises comfort on long hauls. We also wish Vinfast had given a centre armrest in the second row.
