Unveiled at CES 2024, the VF Wild marks VinFast’s bold entry into the electric pickup truck arena. Stepping out of its comfort zone of SUVs and crossovers, the Vietnamese automaker takes aim at a new generation of eco-conscious adventurers with this sleek and versatile concept.
A Mid-Size Marvel with Mighty Maneuvers:
- Right-sized for both urban streets and wilderness trails, the VF Wild sits squarely in the mid-size pickup category. Measuring 209 inches long and 79 inches wide, it boasts a surprisingly expansive bed thanks to a clever trick.
- Fold down the rear seats, and the power-folding mid-gate automatically swings into action, extending the bed length from 5 to a segment-leading 8 feet. No more struggling with clunky manual conversions – the VF Wild is ready for action in seconds.
- Aerodynamics get a boost from a sleek panoramic glass roof and sleek digital side mirrors, ensuring both efficiency and futuristic flair.
Fluid Dynamism in Form and Function:
- Developed in collaboration with Australian design studio Gomitiv, the VF Wild’s “Fluid Dynamism” aesthetic is a head-turner. Over 8,000 hours and countless creative minds went into crafting this sculpted form, inspired by the graceful power of a superhero’s cape flowing in the wind.
- The name “Wild” is no mere coincidence. It embodies VinFast’s audacious spirit and unwavering commitment to sustainable mobility. This isn’t just a truck; it’s a statement – a declaration that the future of transportation is electric, exhilarating, and accessible to all.
Beyond the Concept:
- While technical details like range, powertrain, and payload capacity remain under wraps for now, the VF Wild’s unveiling at CES 2024 is a clear signal of VinFast’s ambitious plans. The company intends to deliver smart, safe, and thrilling electric vehicles to a global audience, and the VF Wild is a prime example of that vision in action.
