VinFast e34 Electric Crossover SUV Spotted Testing
VinFast VF e34 will apparently be the first EV model from the Vietnamese EV brand that will hit the shelves in the country soon. The test mule sprinting through the Indian roads have been snapped without any covers or wraps. The real life photos leaves a little to imagination when we speak of the design and overall road presence.
The leaked images indicate the VinFast VF e34 will be mid-size crossover electric SUV with the overall profile being roomy and spacious. The exteriors of the VF e34 can be seen sporting an LED tail lamp setup at the rear. For reference, only the rear and side profile of the upcoming electric crossover have been leaked online keeping the front design elements hidden.
Nevertheless, the VF e34 is an international model which is why we know the front gets an LED headlamp setup too along with an LED light bar and closed-off front grille. As for the side profile, the test mule can be seen with ORVM mounted turn-indicators as well as cameras. The latter will be used for 360-degree safety surveillance.
While the dashboard design wasn’t captured, the VF e34 is expected to equip a 10-inch infotainment screen with touchscreen support and Android Auto, Apple Car Play compatibility. It could feature a rotary dial gear in the center console and offer Level 2 ADAS safety feature.
