Designed for North America's SUV-Loving Families

In North America, SUVs account for nearly 55% of all passenger vehicle sales in 2023[1], reflecting their enduring popularity. The VF 8 embraces this trend, combining an elegant SUV-coupe silhouette with practical features tailored for everyday use. Its sloping roofline maximizes style and interior space, making it a strong contender for families seeking both comfort and aesthetics.

Its spacious cabin ensures a comfortable experience for both short trips and long journeys. Powered by an electric drivetrain, the VF 8 boasts significantly lower operating costs than traditional ICE vehicles in the same segment. This efficiency is a key factor for families considering long-term savings.

Adding to its appeal, the VF 8 offers one of the most competitive lease deals in the U.S., easing the transition for those switching to electric vehicles.
