VF 8 as the Family Companion for Canadian Families

VF 8 as the Family Companion for Canadian Families

Busy mornings, unpredictable weather, and endless errands make reliability essential for a family vehicle—and the VinFast VF 8 steps in as a midsize electric SUV designed to keep family routines running smoothly.

A family's morning often begins in a rush. Children head to school, groceries get picked up on the way back, and the weather rarely makes life easier. One vehicle must cover the commute, a weekend tournament in another town, or a late-night drive through slush, and any breakdown can derail the day and sour the mood. That demand for versatility and reliability helps explain why multipurpose vehicles, including SUVs and crossovers, accounted for 63.5 percent of new registrations in Canada in the first quarter of 2025 1 .

The checklist that emerges is not complicated. Roomy interiors and flexible cargo space top the list, followed by confidence in winter driving and reliability that avoids costly interruptions. A companion vehicle must offer these qualities without forcing trade-offs elsewhere.

That search, less about luxury than about utility that lasts, sets the stage for vehicles like the VinFast VF 8. Its specifications, and the way some owners describe them, illustrate how design decisions translate into daily benefits. Together, they paint a picture of a car that fits squarely within Canadian family priorities.

"I'm a year and a half in... It's been a great vehicle, you will not find another vehicle this size in the price range they offered it," said R.M., who drives one daily. The VF 8 has two rows of seats for five passengers and about 1,370 litres of capacity with the rear seats folded 2 . A small front trunk adds even more space for sports gear or grocery bags.

"Very comfortable, impressive performance, good in snow and strong vehicle in general. It's an 8/10 for me," said J.V., who put 20,000 kilometers on his VF 8 in a year. The model offers all-wheel drive and up to 402 horsepower in its Plus trim, specifications that matter when snow piles up on suburban streets.

The VF 8 also carries a range of up to 412 kilometers and can recover 10 to 70 percent charge in under 31 minutes on a DC fast charger. That span covers school runs and commutes with margin left for a weekend trip, reducing the need for constant planning.

VinFast Canada also lists a 10-year or 200,000-kilometer warranty for the vehicle and 10-year unlimited milage for the battery. Thanks to the electric powertrain, powering the VF 8 often comes out lower than filling a gas SUV of similar size. Maintenance tends to be lighter too, since electric drivetrains have fewer moving parts to wear down.

The combination of range, coverage, and lower running costs gives families a measure of predictability that can be hard to find in traditional gasoline vehicles. And for some, that reassurance is already proven on the road. "85,000km done in almost 2 years and no regret, I like it!" said S.C., owner of a VF 8 Plus.
