The VF9 is characterized by a massive silhouette with a length of over 5.1 metres, gaining an avant-garde stylized silhouette with a two-module window line, as well as narrow strips of headlamps and rear lamps consisting of Matrix LED lighting.[6] Characterized by AWD, the vehicle will accommodate a maximum of 7 people on three rows of seats.
