2022 VinFast VF 9 Dimensions, Size & Specs

The VinFast VF 9 features a ground clearance of 204 mm (8.03 inches). This relatively high ride height is beneficial for navigating uneven terrain and mild off-road conditions, allowing the SUV to clear obstacles such as speed bumps and rough roads comfortably, enhancing its versatility both in urban and rural environments.

The VinFast VF 9 comes with optional rim sizes of 19, 20, and 21 inches. Smaller rims typically provide a more comfortable ride by better absorbing road imperfections, while larger rims contribute to a sportier look and improved handling characteristics. Owners can choose rims based on their preference for style or comfort.

Standard residential garages vary in size but typically measure around 2400 mm (8 feet) in width and 5500 mm (18 feet) in length. With the VF 9’s dimensions of 2000 mm (78.7 inches) wide and 5120 mm (201.6 inches) long, it will generally fit inside a standard garage with some clearance on all sides. However, the 2000 mm width means tight side clearances, so careful parking is advisable.

As the VF 9 is the first-generation model of this vehicle from VinFast, there is no direct predecessor or earlier generation for comparison. It represents VinFast’s entry into the large electric SUV segment, combining modern electric drivetrain technology with a spacious and premium design.

The VF 9 compares competitively with other large electric SUVs such as the Tesla Model X or the Audi e-tron. For example, the Tesla Model X is about 5037 mm (198.3 inches) long and 1999 mm (78.7 inches) wide, making the VF 9 slightly longer but of a comparable width. This positions the VF 9 well within the typical dimensions for premium large electric SUVs, offering ample interior room and comfort.

Given its large external dimensions — 5120 mm in length and 2000 mm in width — the VinFast VF 9 is designed to provide generous interior space with potentially three rows of seating to accommodate 6-7 passengers depending on configuration. This size enables ample headroom and legroom, enhancing comfort for both front and rear passengers.

While specific weight details of the VinFast VF 9 are not provided here, large electric SUVs like the VF 9 generally weigh between 2200 kg to 2700 kg (4850 lbs to 5950 lbs), depending on battery size and equipment. Its robust build and battery will position it in the higher weight class typical of luxury, fully electric SUVs.

The sizeable dimensions and a ride height of 204 mm (8.03 inches) give the VinFast VF 9 a commanding view of traffic, which is beneficial for safety in urban and highway environments by improving driver visibility and reaction time. The ground clearance also helps avoid damage from road debris or minor obstacles, contributing to passenger protection and vehicle longevity.

As VinFast’s flagship electric SUV launched in 2022, the VF 9 features advanced electric powertrains with competitive range and performance for its segment. It boasts modern design with premium interior materials, advanced infotainment and connectivity options, and driver-assistance technologies. The VF 9 targets a growing market for large, luxurious, and environmentally friendly SUVs, combining style, space, and electric mobility.
