VinFast's Premium EVs Deliver Segment-Leading Features for Indian Roads
Indian customers can now reserve their preferred VinFast electric SUV either at VinFast showrooms or through the company's official website
VinFast is stepping into that space with two electric vehicles that go in different directions. The VF 6 keeps things compact and practical. The VF 7 pushes for more power, more features, and a sharper design. Both aim to fit seamlessly into their owners' lives.
VF 6: Made for Families Who Move A Lot
Let's start with the VF 6. It has a great look, thanks to the 'Dualities in Nature' design philosophy by Torino Design, but appearance is just a part of it. What it offers is a familiar, no-fuss way to get your family around. School drop-offs. Grocery runs. Even highway trips. It handles all of it.
When you buy the VF 6, you get three best-in-class features. The motor offers 210 horsepower, the highest power output in its segment. Inside, you'll find a 12.9-inch touchscreen that handles most of what you and your kids need. It's the largest in the segment, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto built in.
It's also equipped with 26 smart features, the most in its segment, to ensure your drive is a convenient one. These include multiple drive assist systems, a head-up display (HUD), advanced safety tools like lane-keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, a 360 camera.
Multiple driving profiles means no more resetting your seat or A/C every time someone else takes the wheel. There are 7 airbags to protect you, and there's even a system to filter out fine dust, which matters if you live in a high-traffic zone.
VinFast covers the VF 6 with a 7-year warranty, offering peace of mind in a long time.
VF 7: For Drivers Who Want More Out of the Car Itself
The VF 7 is for a different kind of driver. You probably drive solo more often. You notice how a car feels in corners. You probably love being pushed to your seat when you accelerate.
Look is a big part of the appeal here, with the Asymmetrical Aerospace design also by Torino Design. It feels like it's always in motion, even when parked. Step inside, and the tech catches your eye. A big center screen dominates the dash, angled toward you for better ergonomics.
Regarding performance, the Plus trim delivers 349 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque, enough to take you from zero to 100 km/h in under 5.8 seconds. Like with the VF 6, drive modes let you switch things up depending on traffic or mood.
And it's not just fast. There are also 26 smart features, including 22 ADAS functions-the most in the segment-like adaptive cruise control, lane keeping, automatic braking, and even traffic sign detection. The car learns your preferences. It remembers seat positions and climate settings.
The VF 7 also comes with an industry-leading 10-year or 200,000-kilometer warranty that you will come to expect with the VinFast brand.
Features That Matter, No Matter Who You Are
Whether you go for the VF 6 or the VF 7, you get the same baseline of smart, practical features. Both cars are future-ready with over-the-air update capability, so they can keep improving with new features.
A mobile app gives you remote access. You can check battery levels, lock or unlock doors, and even start pre-conditioning the cabin before you leave the house. No need to sit in a hot car while the A/C ramps up. Voice controls handle most tasks. That includes A/C and navigation. And yes, you can speak in Hindi.
Both vehicles benefit from VinFast's adoption of a state-of-the-art functional safety concept design, along with an in-house test and validation facility built to meet safety systems aligned with EU benchmarks.
These aren't gimmicks; they're there to make everyday driving a little easier. VinFast offers two different cars. For two different drivers. But with one idea in mind: keep things simple, functional, and ready for Indian roads.
