What Makes VinFast VF 8’s Child Safety Features So Highly Appreciated?

Family-friendly SUVs like the VinFast VF 8 go beyond just in-car entertainment. VinFast understands the importance of keeping children safe on every journey. That’s why they’ve prioritized safe technology features alongside entertainment options. This commitment to child safety is reflected in the VF 8’s top scores on the Euro NCAP and ASEAN NCAP test evaluations, giving families peace of mind on the road.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, heatstroke is a silent killer, claiming the lives of children left unattended in hot vehicles. Unlike crashes, this tragedy can strike even the most attentive parents. The culprit: a car’s interior temperature can rise rapidly, overwhelming a child’s thermoregulatory system.

These deaths are preventable. VinFast understands the critical role of child protection in car design. This commitment extends beyond traditional safety features, focusing on innovative technology that safeguards even the most vulnerable passengers. Take the VF 8, a family-oriented electric car, for example. This model has garnered high marks in rigorous testing by reputable organizations, reflecting VinFast’s dedication to keeping families safe.

One such innovation is the VF 8’s Child Presence Detection technology. This system acts as a guardian angel, alerting drivers to the potential danger of a child left unattended in a parked vehicle. This is especially crucial when a child is sleeping in a position that might be obscured from view. By providing a timely warning, the technology can help prevent a tragedy.

VinFast VF 8 Earns Top Safety Honors, Dominates Child Protection in Euro NCAP and ASEAN NCAP Tests

VinFast’s first foray into the export market proved successful in the area of child safety. The VF 8 model for the European market earned top marks in the 6-year-old and 10-year-old Child Occupant Protection (COP) category during Euro NCAP testing. The car achieved a perfect score in two-thirds of the criteria, excelling in both frontal and side collision protection for children (24/24 points), as well as child seat fixation (12/12 points). This performance translates to an impressive 44 out of 49 points, or 89% of the total score.

VinFast’s commitment to safety has also driven the VF 8 to a dominant victory at the prestigious ASEAN NCAP Grand Prix Awards. Held in Bangkok, Thailand, the ceremony saw the VF 8 claim a remarkable five out of six top safety awards.

The ASEAN NCAP Grand Prix Awards recognize automakers who prioritize exceptional safety standards. This year, the VF 8 dominated the competition, taking home awards in “Best Child Occupant Protection,” “Best Safety Assist,” “Best Overall,” “Best Motorcyclist Safety,” and “Best SUV.”

The VinFast VF 8 aced ASEAN NCAP’s evaluation, achieving a remarkable 5-star rating with an impressive overall score. This exceptional performance can be attributed to the car’s strong showing in all four assessment areas. The VF8 scored highly in Adult Occupant Protection (36.07 points), Child Occupant Protection (18.43 points, including a perfect score in both frontal and side-impact tests), Safety Assist (a perfect score of 21 out of 21 points), and Motorcyclist Safety (15.00 points, including perfect scores for key features).

VinFast’s VF 8 emerged as a leader in child safety, achieving a perfect score in the Child Occupant Protection (COP) category of the ASEAN NCAP. This dominant performance, a testament to VinFast’s rigorous safety engineering, played a pivotal role in securing the VF 8’s “Best Overall” award.

The COP category, accounting for 20% of the total score, rigorously assesses a vehicle’s ability to safeguard young passengers. The VF 8 excelled in all subcategories, earning top marks (16/16 points) in both frontal and side-impact tests, as well as a perfect score (12/12 points) for its child seat installation system. Notably, VinFast’s innovative Child Presence Detection (CPD) technology also received full marks (2/2 points).

Standard Safety Packed, Family-Friendly Entertainment on the Go 

Overall, every VF 8 variant boasts a comprehensive suite of standard safety features. This includes a total of 11 airbags, strategically positioned to shield both driver and passengers in the event of a collision. 

Beyond airbags, the VF 8 is equipped with a suite of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), which is standard across all variants. This includes Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), and Seatbelt Reminder systems for both front and rear seats. 

Additionally, the car features rear seat occupant detection, Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) for various scenarios (city, inter-urban, and pedestrian), Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), and Lane Keep Assist (LKA).

The VF 8 goes beyond standard safety features, excelling in the Motorcyclist Safety assessment category. Standard equipment includes Blind Spot Detection (BSD) for both driver and front passenger sides, ensuring awareness of vehicles in blind spots. Additionally, Auto High Beam (AHB) technology automatically adjusts headlights to optimize visibility for drivers and oncoming traffic without glare. Pedestrian Protection technology further enhances overall safety on the road.

VinFast’s electric SUV isn’t just built with safety in mind; the carmaker is ensuring entertainment features are safe as well. The vehicle offers a variety of in-car entertainment options, but with a key twist: passengers can only stream movies, play games or access the internet when the car is not in motion. This ensures a fun and engaging experience for families, particularly with young children, on long road trips without compromising safety./.
