Yahoo Autos VinFast Wild electric pickup truck concept revealed at CES 2024
In addition to the VF 3 electric SUV, VinFast brought a completely new concept to CES 2024. It's called Wild, and it's a highly intriguing pickup truck that we think could be a good fit for the U.S.
It's definitely in the midsize range, measuring 209 inches long and 79 inches wide. That's 6 inches shorter than the Rivian R1T and just as wide. The bed is longer, though at 68 inches (that's a whole 14 inches extra). But like a Chevy Silverado EV, it can be extended with a midgate. In the case of this concept, the midgate's even powered. So the rear seats, glass and bed wall fold down at the push of a button.
The styling is an interesting blend of curvy and rugged. It has a tall, flat and wide hood with a big, contrast-colored power dome. But along the sides are long, flowing curves. The big fender flares are prominent and again contrast-colored, but they too have soft edges and blend into the rest of the body elegantly. VinFast credits some of the design work to Australian studio Gomitiv in its press release, though it also credits Italian house Torino Design on the display. Either way, it's a departure from the Pininfarina-designed VinFast lineup on sale in America today.
