might be the next automotive brand to release its electric vehicles in Malaysia. This is based on several sightings of the brand’sWhile Vietnam is a left-hand drive market, the VF e34 that we encountered at Petronas Penchala Link is a right-hand drive unit. This may sound odd but let’s not forget that VinFast has already launched VF e34 in Indonesia while it is also gearing up to do so in Thailand later this year.
Powered by a 41.9kWh LFP battery, VinFast claimed that this EV can deliver 318.6 km of range although the figure is based on the more lenient NEDC standard. The specs sheet on VinFast’s website didn’t clarify the charging capability of VF e34 and only said that it takes around 27 minutes of DC charging for its battery to go from 10% to 70%.
Other notable features of VF e34 include 18-inch alloy wheels, 290 litres of boot space, 6 airbags, leatherette seats, a 10-inch infotainment display, a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, a 6-speaker audio system, and a connected mobile app. Its Advanced Driver-Assistance System offers functionalities such as Lane Departure Warning, Blind Spot Detection, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Parking Assistance, and 360-degree camera although the EV only comes with a passive cruise control feature.
