        "summary": "VinFast Indonesia is examining the addition of a conventional speedometer panel to the VF MPV 7 following consumer feedback. Currently, speed data appears only on the central infotainment screen, forcing drivers to glance at the dashboard centre. The company says updating the instrument cluster would require homologation, delaying changes to the locally produced model; a facelift is more plausible for introducing such a feature, and they will try to accommodate Indonesian consumer requests.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com \u2013 VinFast Indonesia says it is still studying the\naddition of a speedometer panel on the VinFast VF MPV 7 after feedback\nfrom Indonesian consumers.<\/p>\n<p>At present, vehicle speed information on the VF MPV 7 is still\nintegrated into the central infotainment screen, so the driver has to\nlook at the centre of the dashboard.<\/p>\n<p>Head of Training Department VinFast Indonesia, Rinaldi Ginanjar\nRamdani, said they have actually received various feedback concerning\nthe absence of a conventional speedometer or a digital instrument\ncluster in front of the driver.<\/p>\n<p>However, he noted that VinFast cannot yet implement changes to the\nlocally produced model due to constraints of homologation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt present, because we are still in trial production, it will be\nquite constrained by homologation. So we have not had time to add an\nextra feature,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Rinaldi explained that every addition of a feature on locally\nassembled vehicles requires a fresh homologation process that takes a\nnot-insignificant amount of time.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the likelihood of adding a new instrument panel is more\nrealistically realised in the next model update.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, it could be in a facelift version which is most feasible.\nBecause, of course, when there is a feature addition we have to perform\nhomologation again and that does take time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut we will certainly strive to accommodate what is indeed feedback\nor the wishes of Indonesian consumers,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
