The 2026 VinFast VF8 Eco AWD combines robust electric performance with refined efficiency and modern luxury. With an upgraded 87.7 kWh battery and enhanced dual-motor system now producing ~365 hp and ~385 lb-ft torque, it delivers quicker 0–60 mph (≈ 5.7 s), a higher top speed (~185 km/h), and an improved real-world range near 280–290 miles. Inside, a larger touchscreen infotainment system, ventilated and heated seats, dual-zone climate, and optional adaptive cruise control elevate comfort and convenience. Enhanced suspension tuning and regenerative brake integration improve ride quality and efficiency. Safety is upgraded too—full airbags, ESC, TPMS, and a comprehensive ADAS suite on higher trims make the 2026 VF8 Eco AWD a refined, powerful, and modern electric SUV.
