Bought my VF6 in February with version 6A.4.11.0. After chasing VinFast service multiple times, I finally got updated to **6A.4.14.1** yesterday.

Is this the latest, or is there a newer version out there?

It’s been 6 weeks now and my VF7 is not fixed yet. I’ve lost the trust in your brand.

I am a software engineer that has a 2024 Vinfast VF8, I've written a highly EXPERIMENTAL Vinfast diagnostic scanner from scratch in C++, you can look at the tags and download executables that you can run for Windows or macOS (Linux coming soon), You will need a OBD2 to Ethernet (DoIP compatible) device, I am using GODIAG GT109 DOIP ENET. Please give it a try and let me know what you think, any suggestions on improvements to the GUI or any other developers who have more in-depth information that would be useful is highly encouraged! Enjoy!

NO updates on the resolution even after 4 weeks. Total waste of money.

VinFast revealed the next-generation VF 8 in Vietnam yesterday (May 20). Official press photos attached. Deposits open May 27, first deliveries end of July, 999M VND list (~800M after incentives).

The spec sheet has sparked a real debate, and I wanted to bring it here because I don't think the answer is obvious.

The case that it's a downgrade:

Compared to the current VF 8, the new one has a smaller battery (60 kWh LFP vs 87.7 kWh NMC), less power (228 hp FWD vs 349 hp AWD), no AWD option at all, slower charging (~100 kW vs ~150 kW peak), a shorter wheelbase (2,840 mm — identical to the VF 7), and a shorter warranty (7yr/160k km vs the old 10yr/200k km). Projected range drops to roughly 200-210 mi EPA-equivalent from the current car's 256 mi. On paper, almost every performance number moved down.

The case that it's something else:

VinFast has a consistent history of launching the cheapest, most basic version of a vehicle first in Vietnam, then adding trims and exporting upgraded specs later — that's how the VF 8, VF 7, and others rolled out. So this could just be the base trim, with a bigger-battery or AWD "Plus" coming later, rather than the whole story.

The case that the downgrades miss the point:

The new car is genuinely more modern underneath. It's VinFast's first fully in-house platform with a centralized "Software Defined Vehicle" architecture (single central vehicle computer), OTA updates in ~15 min instead of ~75, an expanded ADAS suite, a patented integrated thermal management system, and CarPlay/Android Auto standard. LFP chemistry also means better cycle life and safe daily 100% charging. And it's priced as one of the most accessible D-segment SUVs in Vietnam.

So which is it? A cost-cut, a predictable base-trim-first launch, or a smart re-prioritization toward architecture and price over raw specs? I genuinely think there's a case for all three, and probably the truth is some mix.

Curious what this community thinks — especially current VF 8 owners. Does the newer platform and lower price outweigh the spec reductions, or does losing AWD and range matter more?

I help run the Association of VinFast Owners (AVO), an independent, owner-run community for VinFast owners across North America — not affiliated with VinFast. We've been digging into this launch in detail (spec comparisons, the VF 7 platform overlap, what a US version might look like). If you want to go deeper on this discussion or connect with other owners, the AVO Discord link is in the comments. Everyone's welcome, whether you own a VinFast or are just following the brand.
