VinFast was busy at this 12 months’s CES gathering, displaying each the VF3 mini crossover EV, and the VF Wild electric-pickup-truck idea. Although considerably paying homage to the Hyundai Santa Cruz compact pickup, the Wild idea is, at 209 inches of size, bigger, and extra on par with the Rivian R1T in measurement.

The Wild options 4 doorways, with the rear-doors hinged on the again to permit an unrestricted cabin move via when all doorways are open. The Wild incorporates a cabin “midgate,” which, when the rear seats are folded flat, functionally extends the mattress into the cabin, creating area for cargo gadgets as much as eight ft in size, up from 5 ft with the midgate closed.
VinFast didn’t share technical particulars, however we assume {that a} manufacturing model of the Wild could be provided with each 2-wheel drive and AWD, and be out there with no less than two battery choices. We expect it unlikely that the center-opening doorways will make it to manufacturing.
CG Says:
Whereas VinFast’s current spate of future-product information is thrilling, we are able to’t assist really feel that almost all of this exercise is a smokescreen designed to distract lovers and media from the model’s badly botched U.S. launch. VinFast bought simply 300 vehicles within the U.S. in 2023, and its flagship crossover, the VF9 has been poorly reviewed. It takes extra than simply deep pockets and flashy product reveals to make it within the U.S., and we haven’t but seen indicators of a viable North American distribution plan nor any actual client curiosity within the model.
