VinFast stepped into the Indian market with the launch of the VF 6 and VF 7, marking a strong and confident debut in one of the world’s fastest-growing EV landscapes. After generating significant buzz at the Auto Expo with its expansive showcase, the brand has now translated intent into action. Backed by its 400-acre manufacturing facility in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu, VinFast is combining global expertise with local production to deliver competitively priced, feature-rich electric SUVs tailored for Indian buyers.
VinFast VF 6 – Smart, Feature-Packed and Accessible
The VinFast VF 6 positions itself as a well-rounded electric SUV that blends performance, technology and comfort. Priced from Rs. 17.29 lakhs (ex-showroom), the VF 6 offers 177 HP in the Earth variant and 204 HP with 310 Nm in the top-spec Wind trim, ensuring responsive urban and highway performance. It comes loaded with features including a panoramic glass roof, dual-zone climate control, ventilated and powered front seats and Level-2 ADAS. The cabin features a clean, modern layout with a large infotainment screen and digital interface, creating a premium yet practical experience for everyday driving.
VinFast VF 7 – Premium, Powerful and Distinctive
Sitting above it is the VinFast VF 7, priced from Rs. 21.89 lakhs (ex-showroom), serving as the brand’s flagship offering in India. With its signature ‘V Face’ LED DRLs, sculpted bodywork, 19-inch alloy wheels and India-specific 190 mm ground clearance, the VF 7 makes a bold visual statement. Powertrain options are equally impressive, ranging from a 59.6kWh battery delivering 177 HP and an ARAI-certified range of 438 km, to a 70.8kWh AWD version producing 350 HP and 500 Nm, capable of sprinting from 0-100 km/hr in just 5.8 seconds. Inside, vegan leather upholstery, a large fixed glass roof, 12.9-inch touchscreen, wireless charging and ventilated seats create a distinctly premium and tech-forward ambience.
Ownership Benefits and Long-Term Value
VinFast has strengthened its India proposition with an attractive ownership package. Both the VF 6 and VF 7 come with three years of free maintenance and complimentary charging at V-Green stations until July 2028. The battery is backed by a 10-year warranty, while the VF 6 gets a 7-year/1,60,000 km vehicle warranty and the VF 7 benefits from a 10-year/2,00,000 km warranty. This comprehensive coverage enhances peace of mind and underscores the brand’s long-term commitment to Indian customers.
