An upgraded all-electric family SUV combines refreshed design, smart technology, and everyday comfort, with first customer deliveries expected in November 2026.
VinFast has officially launched the All-New VF 8 in the Philippines, announcing prices for its all-electric D-segment SUV. With comprehensive upgrades to its design, technology, and driving dynamics, the VF 8 is built for Filipino families seeking a more refined drive and for customers ready to make the switch to electric.
The All-New VF 8 is priced at PHP 1,548,000 with a battery subscription or PHP 1,799,000 with the battery included. First customer deliveries are expected to begin in November 2026.
Designed to bring together the comfort and convenience of a family SUV with the performance and technology of an electric vehicle, the All-New VF 8 features enhancements across its design, chassis, electrical and electronic architecture, and vehicle systems. The upgrades reflect VinFast’s continued investment in research and development, with a focus on a smoother, more responsive, and more comfortable driving experience.
Designed for everyday journeys
Guided by VinFast’s “Tech Fluid” design philosophy, the VF 8 pairs a modern, dynamic exterior with practical proportions. Measuring 4,701 mm long, 1,872 mm wide and 1,670 mm high, with a 2,840 mm wheelbase, the five-seat SUV offers room for family trips and daily routines alike. Its 170 mm ground clearance and 19-inch wheels are suited to a variety of road conditions.
Inside, an intuitive cabin layout keeps key controls within easy reach. A 12.9-inch central infotainment display brings together the vehicle’s main functions, while a display behind the steering wheel presents essential driving information. A steering-column-mounted gear selector adds convenience to everyday use.
Electric performance, made practical
The All-New VF 8’s electric motor delivers up to 170 kW of power and 330 Nm of peak torque. With front-wheel drive and Eco, Normal and Sport driving modes, drivers can tailor the experience to their journey.
Its 60.13 kWh battery provides a driving range of up to 480 km on a full charge under the NEDC standard. Super-fast charging can take the battery from 10% to 70% in under 30 minutes, helping drivers make the most of charging stops along the way.
Customers can choose to purchase the VF 8 with the battery included or select a battery subscription to suit their preferences and financial plans. The vehicle comes with a warranty of seven years or 160,000 km, while the high-voltage battery is covered for 10 years or 200,000 km—whichever comes first in each case.
A milestone for VinFast in the Philippines
Mr. Antonio “Toti” Zara III, CEO of VinFast Philippines, said:
“The launch of the All-New VF 8 marks another milestone in VinFast’s long-term commitment to the Philippines and our vision for the future of electric mobility. Comprehensive improvements to its design, driving dynamics, and technology reflect our continued investment in research and development to deliver a smoother, more comfortable and more intelligent driving experience.”
“We believe the All-New VF 8 will strengthen VinFast’s premium electric vehicle lineup in the Philippines, offering a compelling choice that meets the increasingly diverse mobility needs of Filipino consumers.”
The Philippines is the first international market to launch the All-New VF 8, underscoring the country’s role in VinFast’s product expansion. Alongside its growing electric vehicle lineup, VinFast is developing its dealership network, after-sales services, and charging infrastructure with support from V-Green and local partners.
By bringing together electric vehicles and comprehensive ownership support, VinFast aims to make the transition to electric mobility more convenient and confident for Filipino families.
