Vietnamese Electric SUV Defies Limits: Lac Hong 900 LX Withstands Extreme Attacks

The VinFast Lac Hong 900 LX is not just an electric SUV — it’s a bold demonstration of how luxury and military-grade protection can coexist. Developed by Vietnamese automaker VinFast in collaboration with Canadian armoring specialist Inkas, this new version of the VF 9 SUV sets new standards for safety, design, and exclusivity.


🚙 Military-Grade Protection

Unlike ordinary armored vehicles, the Lac Hong 900 LX was designed to endure extreme conditions.

  • Withstood 400 laser-guided rounds in testing.
  • Resistant to armor-piercing rifle ammunition.
  • Survived the simultaneous explosion of two DM51 grenades.

Its target audience includes executives, diplomats, and government authorities who require unparalleled protection while traveling in style.


⚡ Adjusted Electric Performance

The heavy protective plating added substantial weight, requiring performance adjustments. Both the standard VF 9 and the armored 900 LX use a 123 kWh battery from CATL, but power output and acceleration differ:

While the armored version is slower due to weight, it compensates with increased power output, ensuring balanced performance.


✨ Bold Styling and Extreme Luxury

The Lac Hong 900 LX is more than a fortress — it’s a statement piece.

  • Chrome grille and gold accents on the hood, door handles, and trims emphasize exclusivity.
  • Interior finished with premium leather, fine wood, and gold details, creating an opulent environment.
  • The cabin balances comfort with prestige, ensuring passengers feel both secure and indulged.

🌍 A Prestige Project, Not for the Masses

This SUV is not aimed at mass production. Instead, it is a technological showcase to position VinFast among global luxury automakers. By combining cutting-edge electric technology, advanced safety engineering, and opulent design, VinFast signals its international ambition.

The Lac Hong 900 LX proves that in the modern automotive world, luxury and armor can go hand in hand — redefining what an elite SUV can be.
