Is the 2024 VinFast VF 8 a Good SUV?
"The VF 8's numbers are actually somewhat competitive, but neither its range nor its acceleration is anything to write home about by today's EV standards. To earn consideration from skeptical American shoppers, this Vietnamese upstart needs to deliver truly newsworthy efficiency or power, which it simply does not. The VF 8's peculiar styling is another factor holding it back; Americans will forgive a lot if it's a pretty product, but this is not that."—Ranked #12 out of 12 Compact Electric SUVs
