Vinfast – the Vietnamese EV Brand
The emergence of new brands from countries that were not known as car manufacturers shows how much the car world has changed. The Vietnamese manufacturer Vinfast, for example, had a large booth at CES 2022, where a number of electric cars were presented.
During an extended weekend in Santa Monica, I stumbled across two new Vinfast retail locations at once. One in Beverley Hills, another in Santa Monica. I immediately went to see the VF6 SUV, which had been displayed as a family car with 290 miles (about 460 kilometers) of range.

The car will also come with a third row of seats.
