VinFast VF5

Variants and Feature Levels

The VF5 currently comes in a single STD variant, so every buyer gets the same feature list. As a result, there’s no need to compare trims. India-spec equipment may differ slightly from the global model.

VinFast VF5 Exterior Features

The VF5 has a sporty, compact SUV-like design. Up front, VinFast’s signature V-shaped design sits alongside LED daytime running lights and automatic headlamps. At the rear, connected LED tail lamps and a rear spoiler give it a modern look. In addition, black body cladding and flared wheel arches add a rugged touch. It rides on 16-inch wheels with covers and gets electrically adjustable ORVMs.

Interior and Comfort Features

Inside, the VF5 offers an all-black cabin with silver accents and leatherette upholstery. The driver gets a height-adjustable seat and a multifunction steering wheel. Moreover, a PM2.5 air filter keeps the cabin air clean in city traffic. In the back, the 60:40 split rear seats fold to expand the 260-litre boot. Front and rear USB ports also keep everyone’s devices charged.

VinFast VF5 Infotainment Features

An 8-inch touchscreen handles infotainment and supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. In addition, a 7-inch digital instrument cluster shows speed, range and driving data. The car also offers voice commands, Bluetooth and a 4-speaker audio system.

Driving and Convenience Features

Daily driving is made easy with keyless entry and push-button start. Moreover, cruise control helps on highway stretches. Drivers can also switch between Eco and Sport modes, depending on whether they want maximum range or quicker response.

VinFast VF5 Safety Features

The VF5 gets a solid set of active safety features. These include ABS, EBD, brake assist, ESC, traction control and hill start assist. In addition, rear parking assist helps in tight spaces, while ISOFIX mounts make fitting child seats simple. Globally, the VF5 gets 4 to 6 airbags depending on the market, and India’s final count is yet to be confirmed.

Before You Buy the VF5

Keep a few points in mind. First, the VF5 uses halogen headlamps rather than full LEDs. Second, it gets manual air conditioning instead of automatic climate control. Third, it skips premium extras like a sunroof and 360-degree
