Revolutionary VinFast VF6 & VF7 Electric SUV Launches: 2 Bold EVs Set for India by August End
The VinFast VF6 & VF7 Electric SUV models are set to make their highly anticipated Indian debut by the end of August, and as someone who follows EV launches closely, I can say this is one of the most exciting entries in the electric SUV space in recent times. Having tracked VinFast’s global expansion since its debut in Vietnam and its surprising move into the U.S. and European markets, it’s thrilling to see the brand now turning its eyes toward India.
Both the VinFast VF6 & VF7 Electric SUV models come with premium EV features, futuristic designs, and respectable driving ranges—making them direct competitors to MG ZS EV, Tata Nexon EV, and Hyundai Kona Electric in India’s fast-evolving EV market.
First Impressions: Stylish and Modern Appeal
When I first saw the global unveil of the VinFast VF6 & VF7 Electric SUV, I was genuinely impressed with their European-inspired design language. These are not your typical boxy electric SUVs; both the VF6 and VF7 look sleek, aerodynamic, and well-sculpted.
The VinFast VF6 is the more compact of the two, designed for urban users who want agility without compromising on EV performance. The VF7, on the other hand, is slightly larger and more muscular—targeted at families or those who need a roomier cabin and extended range.
From the LED DRLs that wrap around the front fascia to the coupe-like rear profile, the design of the VinFast VF6 & VF7 Electric SUV models looks futuristic and road-ready.
EV Features that Compete with the Best
As someone who’s test-driven multiple EVs in India, I’m excited to see what VinFast is offering in terms of specifications. Based on global variants, here’s what we can expect:
- Battery Range: Up to 399 km (WLTP) for VF6 and 450+ km (WLTP) for VF7
- Battery Pack: Between 59.6 kWh to 75.3 kWh
- Fast Charging: 0 to 70% in under 30 minutes
- Tech Features: 12.9-inch or 15-inch touchscreen infotainment, ADAS suite, over-the-air updates, voice control, and advanced climate control
- Drive Modes: Eco, Normal, and Sport
It’s clear that the VinFast VF6 & VF7 Electric SUV duo will arrive feature-packed and ready to compete. They’re not just showing up—they’re bringing the heat.
Real-World Usability for Indian Roads
What truly excites me about the VinFast VF6 & VF7 Electric SUV launch is their practicality. India’s EV ecosystem is growing, but infrastructure challenges remain. A range of over 400 km is more than sufficient for daily commutes, weekend getaways, and even longer highway runs—especially as charging stations increase.
Also, with ground clearance expected to be around 180–190 mm, these electric SUVs should handle Indian roads and speed bumps with ease. As someone who often travels inter-city for work and personal trips, I can see the VinFast VF6 & VF7 Electric SUV fitting well into my lifestyle.
Premium Interior that Feels International
Inside the VinFast VF6 & VF7 Electric SUV, you’re greeted with a clean, minimalistic dashboard, premium-quality seats, and loads of tech. The absence of a traditional instrument cluster is replaced by a fully digital central display that handles both infotainment and driving data.
The touch response felt smooth in early demos, and the haptic feedback on controls gave the cabin a Tesla-like feel. If the India variants offer ventilated seats, connected car tech, and 360-degree cameras, it could sway many Indian premium buyers who are tired of ICE SUVs.
The VinFast Philosophy: More Than Just Cars
VinFast is not just selling cars; they’re creating an EV ecosystem. The company is expected to offer a battery subscription model in India—similar to their international markets—where you pay a lower upfront cost for the vehicle and subscribe to the battery separately. This approach can bring down the initial cost barrier for many Indian buyers.
Also, with an eye on sustainability, the VinFast VF6 & VF7 Electric SUV promise low environmental impact with recyclable materials and low carbon production processes. This aligns with India’s move toward net-zero emissions.
Price Expectation and Rivals
While official prices will be revealed during the August end launch, I expect the VinFast VF6 to be priced around ₹25–28 lakh and the VF7 to range between ₹32–35 lakh (ex-showroom). This puts them directly in competition with:
- Hyundai Kona Electric
- MG ZS EV
- BYD Atto 3
- Tata Nexon EV LR
However, if VinFast gets aggressive with pricing—especially through CKD assembly in India—it could undercut these rivals and shake up the premium EV segment

Final Thoughts
The arrival of the VinFast VF6 & VF7 Electric SUV in India marks a big leap for both the brand and the Indian EV landscape. From my experience observing EV launches over the past 5 years, this is the most compelling international entry since MG and BYD entered India.
With bold design, real-world driving range, connected car tech, and fast-charging capabilities, the VinFast VF6 & VF7 Electric SUV pair could become trendsetters. And for Indian EV enthusiasts like me, it’s exciting to finally have choices that are stylish, future-ready, and built with global quality standards.
If you’re looking for a new-age electric SUV that combines power, presence, and practicality—the VinFast VF6 & VF7 Electric SUV are absolutely worth waiting for.
