VinFast is indeed a new name in the Indian automotive landscape. The Vietnamese carmaker made its India entry in September this year, by launching two electric SUVs—the VF6 and VF7. Both products have been priced aggressively, visibly unsettling many of their respective rivals. Deliveries are already underway in many parts of the country. In the past few weeks, we have seen many pictures of happy VinFast owners receiving their cars. Now, for the first time, we have a video of the VF6 and VF7 reaching their respective owners from a dealer in Kochi.
This milestone footage, shared widely on social media and automotive forums, captures the electric excitement as VinFast transitions from buzzworthy launch to real-world ownership in one of India’s EV hotspots. Just weeks after the September 6, 2025, debut, the brand’s push into Kerala’s tech-savvy market signals its ambition to capture a slice of the rapidly growing Indian EV pie, projected to hit 10 million annual sales by 2030.
A Bold Entry: Disruptive Pricing and Segment-Shaking Specs
VinFast’s Indian foray isn’t subtle—it’s a calculated strike at the heart of the midsize EV segment. The VF6, a compact crossover measuring around 4.2 meters, slots in as the more accessible option, starting at an introductory ex-showroom price of ₹16.49 lakh. It boasts a 59 kWh battery pack delivering up to 410 km of ARAI-certified range, powered by a single electric motor churning out 174 bhp and 310 Nm of torque for brisk 0-100 km/h sprints in under 8 seconds.
Fast charging (up to 125 kW DC) refuels from 10-70% in just 24 minutes, making it a practical pick for urban commuters. Priced to undercut rivals like the Tata Curvv EV (₹17.49 lakh) and MG ZS EV (₹18.98 lakh), the VF6’s value shines through with a panoramic sunroof, 12.9-inch touchscreen infotainment, wireless charging, and Level 2 ADAS features including adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist. It’s no wonder early feedback highlights its spacious cabin and premium build, drawing comparisons to the Hyundai Creta Electric in the sub-₹20 lakh bracket.
The VF7 ups the ante as a more premium midsize SUV, launching at ₹20.89 lakh and topping out at ₹25.49 lakh for loaded variants. With a larger 75.4 kWh battery, it promises an impressive 505 km range, backed by a potent 201 bhp motor (or dual-motor AWD in top trims for 402 bhp total). Features like ventilated seats, a 15-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, and a heads-up display position it against heavyweights such as the Mahindra BE 6 and upcoming Hyundai Creta Electric, potentially forcing price revisions across the board. VinFast’s strategy—backed by parent company Vingroup’s global manufacturing muscle—includes a 7-year/1.6 lakh km vehicle warranty and free ADAS calibration for life, sweetening the deal amid India’s charging infrastructure boom.
Joy in Every Reveal: The Kochi Delivery Video Unpacked
This video shows the deliveries done by Coastline VinFast, a dealer in Kerala’s Kochi. As the clip opens, we can see the vehicles kept covered at the dealer facility in Kalamassery. Soon, the customers arrive, and celebrate the purchase by cutting cakes. They then uncover the cars together. First, we see the VF6 getting unveiled. It is finished in Desert Silver colour. Later, we see the VF7 getting uncovered, finished in the same shade. The customers are then seen receiving the keys to their brand-new VinFast e-SUVs. Towards the end of this video, we see the VF6 and VF7 in more detail.
The cake-cutting ceremony, a staple of Indian car handovers, sets a festive tone, with beaming families and dealers cheering under the showroom lights. The Desert Silver duo gleams as the covers drop, revealing the VF6’s sporty coupe-like roofline and the VF7’s more assertive stance with its bold grille and 19-inch alloys.Close-up shots at the tail end showcase the vehicles’ details: the VF6’s aerodynamic 18-inch wheels and connected LED taillamps, and the VF7’s panoramic glass roof framing Kerala’s lush backdrop. One owner, clutching the key fob, quips in Malayalam about the “silent thrill,” while another family poses for selfies beside their new ride. It’s a snapshot of VinFast’s grassroots appeal—turning a foreign brand into a local celebration.These deliveries mark Coastline VinFast’s operational debut in Kochi, one of 20 planned outlets nationwide by year-end. Early takers, mostly from IT hubs like Infopark, cite the aggressive pricing and VinFast’s global pedigree (with over 50,000 EVs sold worldwide) as key draws.
