VinFast files design patents for three fresh SUV concepts, hinting at larger EVs and hybrids. Stay tuned for specs and launch dates!
VinFast, Vietnam’s flagship electric‑vehicle maker, has just filed industrial design patents for three brand‑new SUVs. The filings, posted on the company’s official portal, have sparked lively discussion among car enthusiasts and signal that the automaker is gearing up for a major product refresh.
Model A – A Larger Take on the VF9
The first concept resembles the current VF9 in overall dimensions but features a completely reimagined front end. A full‑width LED light strip runs across the grille‑less fascia, creating a distinctive VinFast signature. The rear mirrors the front with a similarly bold LED array, suggesting a cohesive design language for a potential 7‑seat, full‑size electric SUV.
Model B – A Mid‑Size SUV Close to the VF8
The second rendering appears comparable in size to the VF8. While the rear end looks familiar, the front bumper and lower grille area have been refined with sharper lines and a more aggressive stance. This model could slot into VinFast’s mid‑size segment, offering a blend of practicality and performance.
Model C – A Premium, Unconventional SUV
The third design breaks away from VinFast’s usual “bird‑wing” LED motifs. It sports a boxy rear profile and a cleaner front without the signature light strip, hinting at a luxury‑oriented 7‑seat SUV or MPV that might also be offered as a plug‑in hybrid or an extended‑range electric vehicle (EREV).
With these patents, VinFast is signaling that its SUV lineup – ranging from the compact VF3 to the flagship VF9 – will soon be complemented by new body styles and powertrain options. Vietnamese consumers can expect official specifications and launch dates in the coming months.
Stay tuned as VinFast continues to expand its electric and hybrid portfolio, aiming to compete on both domestic and global stages.
