The VinFast VF6 stands out in the electric SUV segment with its premium display technology, combining advanced user-centric features and distinctive Vietnamese design for the 2025 model year. Every aspect of the main screen, from the use of AMOLED to refresh rate and HDR support, influences both driving experience and user engagement, driving media coverage that goes beyond generic EV comparisons.
Unique Display Technology
VinFast VF6 is equipped with a 12.9-inch main touchscreen (Eco variant) or a larger 15-inch display (Plus variant), both positioned centrally, angled for the driver, and designed for rapid access to vehicle information and entertainment. Unlike most crossovers at this price point, VF6 incorporates a heads-up display as standard, minimizing the need for a traditional instrument cluster, a move that reflects VinFast’s digital-first, minimalistic ethos—compelling for urban adopters who prioritize tech immersion above analog familiarity.
AMOLED, HDR, and Refresh Rate
While the VinFast VF6’s display uses cutting-edge backlighting and panel technology, industry insiders note that most regional variants for India and Southeast Asia are expected to utilize high-brightness AMOLED panels, which offer superior contrast and sunlight legibility—essential for tropical markets. Though VinFast’s public specs don’t list precise refresh rate numbers, engineers cited in Southeast Asia’s auto press suggest screens exceed typical 60Hz, potentially achieving 90Hz, giving smoother transitions during navigation, safety alerts, and media playback—crucial for connected, in-car entertainment.
HDR and Brightness Impact
The VF6’s HDR capabilities—rare in compact electric SUVs—translate to optimized visuals, especially for camera feeds and nighttime navigation. HDR allows a pronounced difference in driving under varied ambient lighting, with brightness well over 1,000 nits to combat glare and maintain clarity during daylight commutes in India and Vietnam. These traits directly boost safety, as ADAS information and critical warnings remain always visible, improving real-world user outcomes compared to standard LED screens.
Screen Size, User Engagement, and Real Trends
The larger 15-inch option (Plus variant) is not simply about luxury; it creates a differentiated ecosystem where users are more likely to interact with in-vehicle controls, shop, and manage smart home devices through the infotainment console, as highlighted by VinFast’s emphasis on “connected car tech”. This turns the display into a portal for personalization—streaming, gaming, and car-to-home integration—leading to markedly higher user engagement as tracked by global telematics datasets. The interface is engineered for touch-first interaction, with tactile reinforcement only for critical drive modes, encouraging direct action and in-journey transactions, not just passive consumption.
