VinFast, the renowned Vietnamese 4W and 2W manufacturer, has announced a major restructuring of its portfolio. Additionally, the company has introduced two new ultra luxury models in its flagship Lac Hong sub brand, positioned above the VF mainstream brand and the Green Commercial brand. One of these Lac Hong offerings is a luxury SUV and the other is a luxury sedan, which is set to take on their respective western rivals. let’s take a closer look.
VinFast 800S SUV and 900S Sedan
Vietnamese automaker, VinFast has unveiled two new ultra luxury models under its flagship Lac Hong brand. These are called Lac Hong 800S and Lac Hong 900S. The Lac Hong 800S is an SUV and comes with traditional SUV proportions with an attractive appearance. It brings a good amount of chrome highlights.
Along with the chrome, we can also see some actual gold alloy plating on the Lac Hong lettering and its Lac bird emblem. Like other ultra luxury vehicles, this Lack bird emblem sticks to the bonnet to radiate its grandeur and make a statement. The chrome studded grille is tall and gives an impressive look.
There are chrome highlights on the headlights, LED DRLs, lower bumper and even the bonnet shut line that runs the entire length of the Lac Hong 800S and merges neatly into its LED tail light signature. We can see chrome highlights on the door handles, window surrounds, side running boards, wheels and rear bumper.
A similar grille design can be seen on the Lexus 900S sedan, but it gets less chrome highlights for a sporty effect. Chrome surrounds the grille and on the front bumper highlights and around the glass area and on the running boards on the sides. The rear gets signature LED taillights, chrome on the bumper and an interesting spoiler.
The Lac Hong 900S is a proper three-box sedan, but it also has a well-executed sloping rear roof line. It has a larger Lac bird emblem on the C pillar area compared to the 800S and the wheels are of the aero type for longer range travel.
luxurious interior design
Both the Lac Hong 800S and Lac Hong 900S from VinFast are expected to offer similar experience inside. Because they are ultra luxury vehicles, Vinfast has given them exquisite materials like rare woods, soft Nappa leather and even gold-plated accents for opulence. Lacquer is also applied on these rare woods.
With the 900S, there will be a privacy partition to separate the rear compartment from the driver compartment. There will be a big screen at the rear of this compartment for the entertainment of the rear passengers. Powered doors, zero gravity seats, premium speakers, foldable executive tables and active suspension are expected.
Powering the Vinfast Lac Hong 800S and Lac Hong 900S will be a triple motor setup with two motors driving the rear wheels and one motor driving the front wheels. Peak power output will be around 616 bhp, which should be enough to give these ultra luxury vehicles comfortable performance reserves. The launch is likely to take place in 2027.
