The automotive community has been abuzz recently as real-life images of a large VinFast-badged SUV spread on social media. Despite bearing a resemblance to the VF 9, this model features distinct exterior details, leading many to believe it is the special edition teased with the slogan “Tinh hoa độc bản” (Unique Essence).

Based on the leaked images, the SUV sports a completely redesigned front end. The daytime running lights are now separated from the headlamp cluster, creating a sharper and more modern look. (Photo: TGPT)

Notably, the center of the grille features a large vertical slat, reminiscent of the elegant designs seen on Mercedes-Maybach and Rolls-Royce models. The highlight of the front is the VinFast logo in a golden hue, accompanied by aerodynamic accents on the sides. (Photo: TGPT)

The rear of the vehicle continues the design language of the front, while familiar features such as the elongated LED taillights, side window design, and wheels remain unchanged. However, the rear bumper has been refined, and the logo and model name on the tailgate are now painted in a golden hue, similar to the “Hỏa long độc bản” (Fire Dragon) editions of the VF 7 and VF 8. This further fuels the speculation that VinFast is preparing to launch a limited edition of the VF 9. (Photo: TGPT)

While interior images of this special edition are yet to be revealed, expectations are high that it will be based on the VF 9 Plus 6-seater variant, featuring business-class second-row seats and enhanced comfort features. (Photo: TGPT)
However, the images currently circulating on social media are mostly low-quality spy shots and not official materials from the manufacturer. Therefore, the final design of the special edition VinFast VF 9 may differ when it is officially unveiled on June 20th.
