VinFast may not be the best-known EV manufacturer in the U.S., but that could start to change, with its new cars set for a U.S. release this year.
As we move toward electric vehicles, all kinds of new car brands have been popping up — giving the traditional automakers a run for their money. Over the past few years at CES, one of the more interesting of those has been VinFast — a Vietnamese company that delivered its first cars in the U.S. in November. Now, the company is planning on more releases over the next year — and at CES 2023, we learned more about what those cars will offer.
VinFast may not be very well known in the U.S., but it’s actually one of the larger automakers in Vietnam. It certainly doesn’t have the experience in manufacturing on the scale that it’s hoping to in the U.S., but unlike many of the other electric carmakers, it is actually shipping cars — not just building concepts. The VinFast VF8 crossover and VF9 SUV were announced earlier — but little was known about the smaller VF6 and VF7 models, until now. Turns out, like their larger siblings, they’re pretty compelling options.
