VinFasts Premium EVs Deliver Segment-Leading Features for Indian Roads

News187 days ago
VinFast targets Indian drivers with the VF 6 and VF 7, two premium all-electric SUVs built for distinct needs: one practical and family-ready, the other performance-driven and tech-forward, each with its own set of notable features Gurugram, Haryana, India (NewsVoir) Electric cars are finally making sense for Indian drivers. They're cleaner, sure. But more importantly, they also deliver what people actually want behind the wheel. Something that works without needing to tinker with every option in the settings menu.
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.

Your Type by Tanya George: Colourful language

What if a signboard could tell you who belongs — and who doesn't? In India, where most people speak more than one language, signs in multiple scripts do precisely that. One message, repeated over and over in a different script? It's just hoping that its intended audience will understand at least one of them. Look closely. Amul's Gothic lettering keeps its flourishes even across regional scripts. In bustling Indian marketplaces, a shop or brand sign must accomplish two goals: Inform (about shops, services, or directions) and persuade (that the goods or services are worth their attention). So, before a designer even begins to choose bright colours or stylish fonts, shopowners must make a key decision: Who's the sign for? Which communities do they want to speak to? Whom do they want to invite in? In a linguistically diverse India, everyday business rides on this. Rath Dental Clinic's sign includes English, Odia, and also Telugu, to make it more inclusive. Take this sign in Berhampur, at the southern tip of Odisha — it includes English and Odia, but also Telugu, since Telangana lies just a few kilometres away. It visibly affirms who is seen, recognised, and welcomed into public spaces. The idea of a 'neutral' language is a myth in India, and barely useful. So, why not embrace the rich diversity instead? The bonus: The joy in watching languages interact visually. In Ahmedabad's old city, a garment shop named Autograph uses a handwritten-style English logo with a dramatic underline — and sits between a Gujarati version in the same casual form, and also a Devanagari-based Hindi rendering that omits the headline stroke, so everything matches across scripts. Autograph uses an English logo with a dramatic underline, with similar Hindi and Gujarati versions. This visual harmony is no accident. My first strong memory of it was the Amul logo. Even as a child, I noticed its Gothic style, originating from scribal traditions in Medieval Europe and a design Gutenberg took inspiration for his first font back in the 1500s. It suggested history, tradition, authority. And in India, where English often represents aspiration, adopting that style seemed to confer legitimacy. Designers have, over the years, created matching letterforms in Indian scripts, as if authority in English visuals could magically transfer across languages by mimicry. It's fascinating how visual ideas migrate with Amul showing examples of Blackletter Devanagari and Telugu! The trend continues. Serifs, those pointy strokes at the ends of Times New Roman or Garamond letters, have crept into Indian font designs, lending it a kind of formality. There is no actual historical grounding for these serifs in Devanagari or Malayalam, but they persist. Simple bracketed serifs are used to match the designs for the English and Malayalam letters at this warehouse in Kochi. Many designers believe that there is no space for serifs in Indian fonts. But these designs are not listening to anyone. They're going nowhere. And as long as someone doesn't typeset entire books with them, I am happy to not wage a war on them. Good designers harmonise signage across languages, so more people understand it. Earlier this year, the Supreme Court rejected a challenge to the use of Urdu by a municipality in Maharashtra. 'Our misconceptions, perhaps even our prejudices against a language… must be tested against the reality of this great diversity of our nation,' it declared. 'Our strength can never be our weakness. Let us make friends with Urdu and every language.' That declaration resonates deeply with me. Why limit signage to just the government‑mandated languages? Let polyglotism be our strength, not our obstacle. Multilingual signs do more than communicate. They affirm identity, invite inclusivity, and celebrate India's plurality, and that's a worthy cause to champion. From HT Brunch, July 26, 2025 Follow us on

'Transformative impact of India-UK CETA', PM Modi lauds landmark trade deal

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday praised the historic India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA), describing it as a transformative step in the bilateral economic relationship. Sharing a post by MyGovIndia on the social media platform X, PM Modi wrote: 'An insightful thread, giving a glimpse of the transformative impact of India-UK CETA…' The thread, titled 'A People's Deal Begins Now!', highlights the wide-ranging benefits of the newly signed India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA). It describes the agreement as a 'game-changing pact' that will open global doors for Indian farmers, MSMEs, youth, women entrepreneurs, and professionals. Signed during PM Modi's landmark visit to the United Kingdom, the FTA marks a pivotal moment in India-UK relations. The agreement is expected to boost bilateral trade by an estimated $34 billion annually. As part of the deal, India will cut tariffs on 90 per cent of British products, while the UK will reduce duties on 99 per cent of Indian exports. This substantial easing of tariff lines and regulatory barriers across sectors aims to enhance market access and reduce costs for businesses on both sides. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer also celebrated the agreement, stating: 'Our landmark trade deal with India is a major win for Britain. It will create thousands of British jobs across the UK, unlock new opportunities for businesses, and drive growth in every corner of the country.' For Indian consumers, the deal will bring down prices on imported goods such as Scotch whisky, gin, luxury cars, cosmetics, and medical devices. Indian exporters, especially in textiles and leather, stand to gain from zero duties, improving their competitiveness against nations like Bangladesh and Cambodia. The agreement also ensures Indian agricultural exports receive tariff parity with major European exporters, such as Germany, a move expected to significantly benefit Indian farmers. As India and the UK deepen their strategic and economic ties, this FTA is being hailed as a "people-centric" pact poised to reshape trade relations and stimulate growth across sectors on both sides.

AI, IoT, robotics, big data analytics driving shift toward smart factories, says Aveva

As Indian enterprises embrace the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0), industrial intelligence—the convergence of AI, IoT, robotics, and big data analytics—is driving a profound shift toward smart factories, optimised operations, and resilient supply chains, said Aveva, which provides industrial software and is part of the Schneider Electric Group. The company said it was playing 'a pivotal role' in this journey by helping organisations transform data into insights that power efficiency, agility, and innovation. Ajit Kulkarni, Vice President, India Market Leader, Aveva said, 'India stands at the forefront of a profound industrial transformation, driven by the dual imperatives of economic growth and sustainability. The challenge is not just adopting new technology but fostering seamless collaboration and building a skilled workforce to leverage it effectively.' 'Industrial intelligence is the key to unlocking the true value of data to achieve India's national goals. Through Aveva's solutions, we are enabling Indian enterprises to convert siloed information into actionable insights. This is what will empower them to scale innovation, lead globally, and operate sustainably in a resource-conscious world,' he said. The company on Thursday (July 25, 2025) hosted Aveva Day India 2025 in Mumbai, bringing together stakeholders across energy, infrastructure, manufacturing, and utilities to discuss how industrial AI and radical collaboration are driving India's sustainable growth story. Throughout the event, the company showcased how its end-to-end digital solutions are helping Indian enterprises break data silos, improve efficiency, and build intelligent, connected ecosystems across high-impact sectors. Chris Lee, Senior Vice President, APAC, Aveva, said, 'As businesses rethink their strategies, industrial AI is emerging as the cornerstone of this shift, enabling greater agility, closing skill gaps, and accelerating the transition to cleaner, smarter operations.' 'We are committed to supporting India's ambition to scale responsibly and become a globally competitive, sustainable industrial hub,' he added. As India emerges as a global manufacturing and innovation hub, Aveva said it would have a long-term commitment to the country's digital industrial evolution — empowering businesses to scale responsibly, collaborate deeply, and deliver on the promise of sustainable excellence.
