VinFast VF 6
The VF 6 is a subcompact electric crossover that's shorter than a Nissan LEAF. It comes in two trim levels (Eco and Plus), both featuring a 59.6kWh battery that provides an estimated range of 325 km and 310 km, respectively. Meanwhile, the single, front-mounted motor generates 174 hp or 201 hp depending on the model. Inside, the Tesla-like layout is highlighted by a 12.9-inch centre touchscreen that can be used to control pretty much every vehicle function.
