Vinfast is ramping up its entry into the Indian market, and all eyes are on its upcoming models, the VF 6 and the VF 7. While both SUVs have been spotted multiple times across Mumbai, this time it’s the larger and more dynamic VF 7 that was caught testing on the city’s busy roads. The sighting adds fuel to the anticipation, as the brand edges closer to its official India debut.
Design
The VF 7 will be positioned above the VF 6 in Vinfast’s lineup and leans more towards a sporty and premium appeal. Its design is bold and modern, packed with sharp character lines and sculpted surfaces. At the front, LED DRLs gracefully stretch toward the centrally positioned brand logo, giving it a distinctive look. The split LED headlamp design adds to its futuristic stance.
At the rear, the VF 7 flaunts wraparound LED tail lights connected by a full-width LED light bar. A shark-fin antenna, integrated roof spoiler, and high ground clearance complete the SUV’s urban-ready design.
Features
Vinfast isn’t holding back when it comes to tech. The VF 7 will be loaded with an impressive list of features designed for both comfort and performance. Inside, you’ll find a:
- 12.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system
- Driver-centric dashboard layout
- Minimalist centre console
- Heads-up display
- Panoramic glass roof
- Wireless phone charger
- Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
- Automatic climate control
On the safety front, the VF 7 will also be equipped with an Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) suite. This package is likely to include adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, emergency braking, blind spot detection, and more—though final specifications for the India model are yet to be confirmed.
Market Position
As Vinfast prepares to compete in India’s growing EV market, the VF 7 is expected to take on rivals like the MG ZS EV, Hyundai Kona Electric, and potentially the upcoming Maruti EVX. Positioned as a mid-to-large electric SUV with a sporty attitude, the VF 7 will appeal to buyers looking for an EV that blends tech, design, and daily usability.
Launch Timeline
Although Vinfast hasn’t officially confirmed a launch date, the repeated sightings of camouflaged test units suggest the launch could happen in the coming months. The VF 6 is likely to arrive first, followed shortly by the VF 7.
Vinfast’s India strategy also includes setting up a manufacturing facility in Tamil Nadu, which would help localise production and offer competitive pricing—key to succeeding in a value-conscious market like India.
What To Expect
With its futuristic design and tech-loaded cabin, the VF 7 has the potential to shake up the EV SUV segment in India. If priced right, it could become a strong contender among both ICE-to-EV adopters and new-age EV buyers.
Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the official reveal and pricing announcement in the Indian market.
