After VinFast launched themself in the market of Kingdom, I test drove one of their SUVs, I think it wasn't the VF9 but a lower version. And it was an impromptu drive, I wasn’t prepared to review the cars but can say that the first impressions were quite positive. Frankly, I didn’t expect a startup to be so well equipped to produce such excellent products, it was visible from their quality and overall fit and finish. As far as the drive goes, I enjoyed the power, acceleration and overall handling of the cars. Oh, I must say the interior quality and space inside isn’t that bad either.
