VinFast is looking to make a splash in the United States by staging the world debut of the VF e35 and VF e36 at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
Little is known about the models at this point, but both will be electric crossovers. The company went on to say the VF e35 will be a D-segment vehicle, while the VF e36 will be a larger E-segment SUV.
VinFast went on to say the vehicles will come equipped with a high-tech infotainment system that features a virtual assistant, voice recognition technology, and e-commerce services. We can also expect an assortment of driver assistance systems such as a collision warning system, lane assist and fully automated parking. The models will also have a Tesla-like summon feature as well as a driver monitoring system.

The vehicles will go up for pre-order in the first half of 2022 and Vingroup Vice Chairwoman Le Thi Thu Thuy said, “We have made vigorous investments and conducted extensive market research to create premium EVs that will satisfy the desires of global customers. This is just the beginning. We hope to capture the hearts and imaginations of even the most demanding customers with VinFast’s dedicated service and smart, high-quality products.”
While little is known about the models, they’ll follow in the footsteps of the VF e34 which features an electric motor that develops 147 hp (110 kW / 150 PS) and 178 lb-ft (242 Nm) of torque. It’s powered by a lithium-ion battery pack, which gives the crossover an NEDC range of 177 miles (285 km).
The Los Angeles Auto Show is slated to kick off on November 17th, but nothing is set in stone in the coronavirus era. That was made abundantly clear by the last minute cancelation of the New York Auto Show this summer and there’s been some skepticism about whether or not the Los Angeles Auto Show will actually take place.
