The VinFast VF9, a full-size three-row crossover SUV manufactured by Vietnamese automaker VinFast, has received better than initially expected EPA range ratings. According to information released by VinFast, the all-electric VF9 SUV has received an EPA range rating of 330 miles in Eco trim, while the Plus trim has been rated at 291 miles on a full charge. Sharing the information, the automaker stressed that both range ratings outshined its initial estimates.

Le Thi Thu Thuy, global chief executive for the brand, said in a statement that the VF9 electric SUV’s 330-mile range puts it among the best EV available in the global the market. He went on to state that the better-than-expected range ratings by EPA confirmed the company’s efforts and dedication to produce competitive vehicles at reasonable prices.

Both of the aforementioned trim levels of the electric SUV feature a dual-motor electric powertrain that can churn out 300 kilowatts (402 hp) with a peak torque of 457 pound-feet. That is enough power to enable the vehicle to sprint from 0 to 62 mph in 6.5 seconds. For power, the vehicle relies on a 123-kWh battery pack.

The Vietnamese manufacturer also confirmed pricing for the full-size, all-electric VinFast VF9 SUV. The Eco trim of the electric SUV will come with a starting price tag $83,000, while the Plus trim will set the prospective buyers back by $91,000.
