VinFast India, the Indian arm of the Vietnamese automaker, made a bold entry into the Indian market by showcasing its VF6 and VF7 electric SUVs at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025. While the initial reveal kept launch details under wraps, VinFast has now confirmed that both models will officially launch on September 6, 2025, marking a significant step in its expansion into one of the world’s fastest-growing EV markets.
The VinFast VF7 is poised to make a strong impression with its striking design and robust performance. Available in three variants—Earth, Wind, and Sky—the VF7 offers buyers a choice between two-wheel-drive (2WD) and all-wheel-drive (AWD) configurations. Both variants are powered by a 70.8kWh battery pack, delivering a WLTP-certified range of 450 km for the 2WD model and 431 km for the AWD version.The 2WD VF7 features a single front motor producing 204 hp, while the AWD variant adds a rear motor, boosting the total output to an impressive 350 hp and 500 Nm of torque. This powertrain versatility ensures the VF7 caters to both efficiency-focused and performance-driven buyers.
Aesthetically, the VF7 embodies VinFast’s distinctive design language. Its front fascia is highlighted by full-width LED daytime running lights (DRLs) that converge into a V-shaped badge, symbolizing the brand’s identity. The SUV will be offered in six vibrant color options: Jet Black, Desat Silver, Infinity Blanc, Crimson Red, Zenith Grey, and Urban Mint, allowing buyers to personalize their ride.
VinFast VF6: Sleek and Modern
The VF6 complements its larger sibling with a sleek, contemporary design tailored for urban buyers. Its front end features eyebrow-like LED DRLs that flow toward the centrally placed ‘V’ logo, paired with a honeycomb-patterned grille, wide air dams, and black cladding for a bold yet refined look. At the rear, an LED taillight strip mirrors the front design, while a sloping roofline accentuates the VF6’s curvy, aerodynamic aesthetic.

VinFast India opened bookings for the VF6 and VF7 on July 15, 2025, generating significant interest among Indian EV enthusiasts. While delivery timelines are yet to be announced, the upcoming launch on September 6 is expected to provide further clarity on pricing, features, and availability.
VinFast’s entry into India with the VF6 and VF7 underscores its ambition to compete in the rapidly growing electric vehicle market. With their blend of modern design, advanced technology, and competitive range, these SUVs are set to challenge established players in the segment. As the September 6 launch approaches, all eyes will be on VinFast to see how it positions itself in India’s dynamic automotive landscape.
