The 800S is the third model from Lac Hong, VinFast's premium brand. While the 900S is a large sedan designed for executives, the Lac Hong 800S is positioned as a luxury SUV with a sharp, imposing design. |
 |
VinFast has not yet released the technical specifications for the Lac Hong 800S. From its width, the vehicle shares many similarities with the VF 9, currently VinFast's largest and most expensive SUV. |
 |
With the 900 LX, 900S, and 800S, VinFast establishes a consistent design language for Lac Hong, featuring an angular hexagonal grille with vertical slats inspired by Vietnamese bamboo. The two decorative air intakes are adorned with horizontal slats. |
 |
On the 800S, the V-shaped logo on the front, rear, and C-pillars is gold-plated. The company states this design symbolizes the Lac bird, a mythical bird in Vietnamese culture. |
 |
Similar to the 900S, the Lac Hong SUV features a distinctive rear identity: T-shaped taillights spanning the width of the tailgate. VinFast states the vehicle is equipped with an independent suspension system and three electric motors, with one in front and two at the rear, delivering a total output of approximately 603 horsepower. |
The interior style of the Lac Hong 800S mirrors that of the 900S. It features a layered dashboard, with an infotainment screen seamlessly integrated with the speedometer.
The vehicle incorporates leather, wood, and gold-plated metal throughout the cockpit and rear seating area. The interior layout draws inspiration from terraced fields, and the wood finishes are inspired by Dong Son drum culture.
 |
Initial images reveal the Lac Hong 800S offers generous legroom. Ambient interior lighting is present around the doors, dashboard, and on the ceiling. |
 |
The 800S features a 5-seater configuration, zero-gravity seats, and automatic doors. VinFast expects to launch the commercial version of the Lac Hong 800S in 2027, with pricing yet to be announced.
Given its luxury positioning, advanced features, and customizable configurations, Lac Hong vehicle models are expected to command prices in the billions of Vietnamese dong. While Lac Hong may not contribute significantly to VinFast's overall sales volume, it plays a crucial role in elevating the brand's image and creating a distinct product identity by incorporating numerous elements from Vietnamese culture.
