VinFast VF5 Plus: which version to buy
Buy AT if you want the only VF5 Plus specification this catalogue records: Electro, 134 hp (98 kW), 135 Nm, Automatic with 1 gear, FWD.
Buy AT if you want the only VF5 Plus specification this catalogue records: Electro, 134 hp (98 kW), 135 Nm, Automatic with 1 gear, FWD.
Do not look for a second VF5 Plus nameplate in these figures. `modifikaciy` is 1. There is no twin AT at a different horsepower (the Land Cruiser-style split of two identical names at 299 hp and 309 hp does not apply here). There is no petrol, diesel, or hybrid row to compare. There is no AWD row. There is no second generation to “wait for” inside this dataset: `pokoleniy` is 1, `stop` is empty.
What extra money would buy is not a number we have. Prices are not in the data. The arithmetic that is allowed is between the measured fields of AT itself.
- Power is given two ways: 134 hp and 98 kW. 134 ÷ 98 ≈ 1.37 hp per kW. That is the same motor, not two motors.
- Torque is 135 Nm. 135 ÷ 134 ≈ 1.01 Nm per hp. That ratio is low compared with many combustion catalogues, but it is the measured pair for this Electro AT, not a second version.
- Displacement is not measured, so power per litre cannot be calculated. Do not invent a litre figure to rank AT against a petrol sibling that is not listed.
- Gears: 1. There is no 2-speed or 6-speed AT to pay extra for.
- Drive: FWD only. The extra of a second axle is not offered in these rows.
- CO2 is 0. That is a measured catalogue value for AT, not an inferred “electric therefore zero.”
If you need a different body, a later generation, more than 134 hp, more than 135 Nm, a gearbox other than Automatic, or a drive other than FWD, this model’s data does not contain that version. The choice is AT or a different model key.
Generations: what changed (and what did not)
1 generation (key 8019) starts 2023-04-01 and has no stop date. Body: SUV 5-doors. Versions: 1 (AT). There is no restyling listed as a separate generation, so the reader should not count an 11th or 2nd generation that is not here.
Because there is only one generation, generation-to-generation arithmetic is empty:
- Horsepower change between generations: not applicable (only 134 hp exists).
- Torque change: not applicable (only 135 Nm exists).
- Drive change: not applicable (only FWD exists).
- Gearbox change: not applicable (only Automatic, 1 gear).
- Fuel change: not applicable (only Electro).
- Body change: not applicable (only SUV 5-doors).
What “the next generation changed” is therefore not measured. AT from 2023-04-01 is the entire production window in this file.
Specs: the AT row you are actually buying
| Version | hp | Nm | Displacement | Fuel | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Gears | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AT | 134 | 135 | not measured | Electro | not measured | not measured | not measured | Automatic | 1 | FWD |
Engine type for AT is Electro. Cylinders, cylinder layout, valves per cylinder, boost, engine placement, and fuel-system labels are not measured. Do not fill those cells with a guessed “electric motor layout.” The catalogue leaves them empty; the article must say not measured.
Front suspension on AT: Independent, spring. Rear: Independent, spring. Front brakes: Ventilated disc. Rear brakes: Disc (label as given). Those chassis fields are the same for the only version, so they do not split the buying decision.
Performance and economy: what is measured on AT
For AT:
- 0–100: not measured
- Top speed: not measured
- City consumption: not measured
- Highway consumption: not measured
- Mixed consumption: not measured
- CO2: 0
- Eco class: not measured
- Tank: not measured (Electro AT; no litre tank figure is given)
A buyer comparing “which VF5 Plus is quicker” has no 0–100 column to rank. A buyer comparing mpg has no consumption column. Those absences are not proof that the car has no speed or no energy use; they are not measured in this dataset. The only economy-adjacent number that is present is CO2 0 for AT.
Do not compute a consumption from 98 kW or 134 hp. That would be a number that is not in the data.
Dimensions and weight: kerb, gross, clearance, wheels
For AT:
- Kerb weight: not measured
- Gross weight: not measured
- Ground clearance: not measured
- Tank: not measured
- Wheels: not measured
Weight per horsepower cannot be calculated (no kerb, no gross). Payload cannot be calculated. A “which version is lighter” comparison has one row and no mass. If your buying rule is “I pick the version with the best kg/hp or the highest clearance,” this catalogue cannot apply that rule to VF5 Plus AT. The version still exists; those fields are not measured.
Engine and drivetrain: what extra money cannot buy here
People searching VF5 Plus specs, engine, mpg, dimensions, and which version to buy are usually ranking a grid. The grid for this model is one cell.
AT vs a phantom second trim:
- Power gap: 134 − 134 = 0 hp (no second trim).
- Torque gap: 135 − 135 = 0 Nm.
- Gear gap: 1 − 1 = 0.
- Drive: FWD versus FWD.
AT vs a combustion VF5 Plus: no combustion `tip_dvigatelya_en` appears. Fuel is Electro. Displacement is not measured, so “hp per litre of AT” is not a defined buying metric.
AT vs a dual-motor or AWD VF5 Plus: `drive` is FWD only.
AT vs a multi-speed Automatic: `peredach_en` is 1.
So the extra money, if any, is not buying a second motor, a second driven axle, or a second gear count inside this model. It would be buying equipment or a different model that is not in these rows.
Reliability and problems
Reliability scores, recall counts, and common-fault lists are not in the data. They are not measured. Do not treat silence as “no problems.” The buyer-facing fact is: this article cannot rank AT against another VF5 Plus on durability because there is no second version and no reliability field.
What you can inspect from the given hardware labels: Independent, spring at both ends; Ventilated disc in front; Disc at the rear; Automatic 1-speed; FWD; Electro 134 hp / 135 Nm. Those are specification labels, not failure rates.
Practical buying rule
1. If you want VinFast VF5 Plus as defined here, the version name to use is AT. Use that string exactly on modification pages. 2. Confirm you accept Electro, Automatic (1), FWD, 134 hp, 98 kW, 135 Nm, CO2 0, SUV 5-doors, 1 generation from 2023-04-01. 3. If your decision needs 0–100, top speed, mpg, kerb weight, gross weight, clearance, tank, or wheel size, those are not measured for AT — you cannot pick a “faster” or “lighter” VF5 Plus from this file. 4. If you need more than one generation or more than one modification, this model key does not provide them.
That is the whole choice set: one generation, one body, one version name AT. The comparison is not between VF5 Plus versions. It is between AT as specified and any requirement that these numbers do not cover.
