Ever since its invention a little over a century ago, the automobile has become mankind’s extension of almost everything in life. Apart from their default purpose as transportation, cars have also been used as mobile homes, mobile offices, business stands, on-the-go clinics, peacekeeping units, and more. But did you know that cars can become an expression of one’s style, too?
Take, for instance, the VF 7 – a compact electric SUV from Vietnamese carmaker VinFast. As a modern car, the VinFast VF 7 showcases a sleek and futuristic design. This is made possible via collaboration with Torino Design, an Italian automotive design company. According to VinFast, Torino aimed to blend advanced technology and the artistic beauty of outer space when it conceptualized the design of the VF 7.
The VF 7 has smooth surfaces, a curved silhouette, sharp yet minimalist details, and flush panels that give it a clean look. The design effectively reduces drag for a smoother drive, giving the VF 7 a touch of physics engineering flair.
VinFast says the VF 7 focuses on the younger generation of “eco-conscious” drivers. This means the EV, with its sleek design, zero-emission, and soft drive, reflects today’s generation’s focus on innovation, carbon neutrality, and long-term benefits of environmentalism, while maintaining a sense of individuality. This is channeled in the rising preferences for vegan or plant-based items in areas such as food, housing, clothing, and transportation, among others.
The VF 7’s smooth aerodynamic shape echoes a visual language of what an EV looks like today. Its rounded front, long windshield, sloping roofline, and distinct LED lights give it a unique touch and a kind of brand identity. Simply put, at a traffic stop or public gathering, the VinFast VF 7 can be easily recognized.
The VinFast VF 7 continues its “fashionalized” style inside. It boasts a simplified layout with an open cabin atmosphere, finished in guilt-free materials like vegan leather.
All these focus on highlighting personal style is solidified in the VF 7’s performance. It sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.8 seconds, a figure achieved thanks to its electric motor with a 73 Kw/h battery pack. The VinFast VF 7 tops out at a 430-km range in one full charge. On top of this, VinFast Philippines offers a 10-year battery warranty..
