Compare the2025 Volvo EX90VS 2024 VinFast VF 8

The EX90’s pre-crash front seatbelts will tighten automatically in the event the vehicle detects an impending crash, improving protection against injury significantly. The VF 8 doesn’t offer pre-crash pretensioners.

For enhanced safety, the front seat shoulder belts of the Volvo EX90 are height-adjustable to accommodate a wide variety of driver and passenger heights. A better fit can prevent injuries and the increased comfort also encourages passengers to buckle up. The VinFast VF 8 doesn’t offer height-adjustable seat belts.

In the past twenty years hundreds of infants and young children have died after being left in vehicles, usually by accident. When turning the vehicle off, drivers of the EX90 are reminded to check the back seat when a sensor determines the back seat is occupied. The VF 8 doesn’t offer a back seat reminder.

The Volvo EX90 (except 6-Passenger) offers an optional built in child booster seat. It’s more crash worthy than an added child seat because of its direct attachment to the seat. VinFast doesn’t offer the convenience and security of a built-in child booster seat in the VF 8. Their owners must carry a heavy booster seat in and out of the vehicle; EX90 owners can just fold their built-in child seat up or down.

The EX90 has a standard Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS), which use a specially designed seat to protect the driver and front passenger from whiplash. During a rear-end collision, the WHIPS allows the backrest to travel backwards to cushion the occupants and the headrests move forward to prevent neck and spine injuries. The VF 8 doesn’t offer a whiplash protection system.

Both the EX90 and VF 8 have rear cross-traffic warning, but the EX90 has Braking Intervention (automatically applies the brakes) to better prevent a collision when backing near traffic. The VF 8’s Rear Cross Traffic Alert doesn’t automatically brake.

Both the EX90 and the VF 8 have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, driver and front passenger knee airbags, front seat center airbag, side-impact head airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, four-wheel antilock brakes, all wheel drive, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, post-collision automatic braking systems, lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems, around view monitors, rear cross-path warning and driver alert monitors.

The Volvo EX90 weighs 657 to 800 pounds more than the VinFast VF 8. The NHTSA advises that heavier vehicles are much safer in collisions than their significantly lighter counterparts.

The EX90’s corrosion warranty is 2 years and unlimited miles longer than the VF 8’s (12/unlimited vs. 10/125000).

Volvo pays for scheduled maintenance on the EX90 for 3 years and 30,000 miles. Volvo will pay for tire rotations, cabin filter replacement, brake fluid replacement, inspections, and any other required maintenance. VinFast doesn’t pay scheduled maintenance for the VF 8.

There are almost 71 times as many Volvo dealers as there are VinFast dealers, which makes it much easier should you ever need service under the EX90’s warranty.

The EX90’s standard electric motors produces 53 more horsepower (402 vs. 349) and 199 lbs.-ft. more torque (568 vs. 369) than the VF 8 Eco’s standard electric motors. The EX90’s electric motors produces 111 lbs.-ft. more torque (568 vs. 457) than the VF 8 Plus’ standard electric motors. The EX90’s optional electric motors produces 108 more horsepower (510 vs. 402) and 214 lbs.-ft. more torque (671 vs. 457) than the VF 8 Plus’ standard electric motors.

The EX90 can travel longer on a full charge than the VF 8 on a full charge:

For better stopping power the EX90’s brake rotors are larger than those on the VF 8:

For better traction, the EX90 has larger standard tires than the VF 8 (F:255/50R20 & R:285/45R20 vs. 225/55R19). The EX90 Ultra’s tires are larger than the largest tires available on the VF 8 (F:265/45R21 & R:295/45R21 vs. 245/45R20).

The EX90’s standard 255/50R20 front and 285/45R20 rear tires provide better handling because they have a lower 50 series front and 45 series rear profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the VF 8 Eco’s standard 55 series tires. The EX90’s optional tires have a lower 40 series profile than the VF 8 Plus’ 45 series tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the EX90 has standard 20-inch wheels. Smaller 19-inch wheels are standard on the VF 8 Eco. The EX90’s optional 22-inch wheels are larger than the 20-inch wheels on the VF 8 Plus.

For superior ride and handling, the Volvo EX90 has fully independent front and rear suspensions. An independent suspension allows the wheels to follow the road at the best angle for gripping the pavement, without compromising ride comfort. The VinFast VF 8 has a rear torsion beam axle, with a semi-independent rear suspension.

The EX90 offers an available driver-adjustable suspension system. It allows the driver to choose between an extra-supple ride, reducing fatigue on long trips, or a sport setting, which allows maximum control for tricky roads or off-road. The VF 8’s suspension doesn’t offer adjustable shock absorbers.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the EX90’s wheelbase is 1.4 inches longer than on the VF 8 (117.5 inches vs. 116.1 inches).

For better maneuverability, the EX90’s turning circle is 1.8 feet tighter than the VF 8’s (38.8 feet vs. 40.6 feet).

For excellent aerodynamics, the EX90 has standard flush composite headlights. The VF 8 has recessed headlights that spoil its aerodynamic shape and create extra drag.

The front grille of the EX90 uses electronically controlled shutters to close off airflow and reduce drag when less engine cooling is needed. This helps improve highway fuel economy. The VF 8 doesn’t offer active grille shutters.

The EX90 has standard seating for 7 passengers; the VF 8 can only carry 5.

The EX90 has a much larger cargo volume than the VF 8 with its rear seat up (67.6 vs. 13.2 cubic feet). The EX90 has a much larger cargo volume with its rear seat folded than the VF 8 with its rear seat folded (67.6 vs. 48.4 cubic feet).

The EX90’s standard towing capacity is much higher than the VF 8’s (4850 vs. 3968 pounds).

The EX90’s standard Keyless Entry & Drive allow you to unlock the doors from any outside door handle, open the cargo door, and start the vehicle, all without removing the key from the pocket or purse. Passive Entry standard on the VF 8 doesn’t offer a sensor on the rear doors, so you’ll have to reach a front handle to unlock the rear door.

In poor weather, headlights can lose their effectiveness as grime builds up on their lenses. This can reduce visibility without the driver realizing. The EX90 has standard headlight washers to keep headlight output high. The VF 8 doesn’t offer headlight washers.

The EX90 offers optional massaging front seats in order to maximize comfort and eliminate fatigue on long trips. Massaging seats aren’t available in the VF 8.

The EX90’s Park Pilot Assist can parallel park by itself, starting, stopping and changing direction automatically. The VF 8 doesn’t offer an automated parking system.
