VinFast, the Vietnamese electric vehicle manufacturer, has quickly made waves in India’s burgeoning EV market since its debut in 2025 with the premium SUVs VF 6 and VF 7. These models, locally assembled at the company’s Thoothukudi plant in Tamil Nadu, have attracted buyers seeking stylish, feature-rich electric SUVs with competitive pricing and strong safety credentials (both recently achieving 5-star Bharat NCAP ratings).
Now, VinFast has set an ambitious target: by the end of 2026, the brand aims to offer a total of five electric cars in the Indian lineup. This expansion will broaden its appeal from premium crossovers to more affordable city cars, compact options, and family-oriented vehicles, targeting diverse segments including personal buyers, first-time EV owners, and commercial/fleet users.
Here’s a breakdown of VinFast’s expected five EV offerings in India by the end of 2026, based on recent announcements, reports, and lineup plans:
1. VF 6 (Current Offering – Compact Premium SUV)
- Already on sale since late 2025.
- Positioned as an affordable premium electric SUV with a 59.6 kWh battery, offering an ARAI-certified range of up to 468 km.
- Priced starting around ₹17-19 lakh (ex-showroom), it competes in the mid-size EV SUV space with strong tech, ADAS features, and a modern design.
- This model helped VinFast gain early traction by undercutting rivals while delivering premium appeal.
2. VF 7 (Current Offering – Mid-Size Premium SUV)
- Also launched in 2025 alongside the VF 6.
- A larger, more powerful C-segment electric crossover with futuristic styling, spacious interiors, and advanced features.
- Priced from approximately ₹21-27 lakh (ex-showroom), it targets families and buyers seeking more space and performance.
- Together with the VF 6, these two form the foundation of VinFast’s current portfolio in India.
3. Limo Green (Upcoming – 7-Seater Electric MPV)
- Expected to be one of the first additions in 2026, likely launching in the first half of the year (possibly Q1 or early Q2).
- A three-row electric MPV designed for both family use and commercial applications (e.g., ride-hailing or fleet services).
- Features a large battery (around 60 kWh) with a claimed range of up to 450 km (NEDC cycle), making it suitable for longer duties.
- Estimated pricing: ₹19-26 lakh (ex-showroom), positioning it as a practical, spacious EV rival to models like the BYD eMax 7.
4. VF 3 (Upcoming – Micro EV / Compact City Car)
- Slated for launch in the first half of 2026.
- A tiny, fun, and ultra-affordable micro-SUV or city EV with a compact footprint, high ground clearance (around 191 mm), and an 18.6 kWh battery for over 200 km of range.
- Ideal for urban commuting, with low running costs and potential Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) options.
- Expected price: ₹8-10 lakh (ex-showroom), directly challenging affordable city EVs like the MG Comet EV.
5. VF 5 (Upcoming – Sub-Compact / Hatchback-Style EV)
- Under consideration and likely to round out the five-model lineup by late 2026.
- A sub-4m electric hatchback/SUV crossover sitting between the VF 3 and VF 6 in size.
- Offers a balance of affordability, practicality, and features, with a potential range of around 300+ km.
- Estimated pricing: ₹10-14 lakh (ex-showroom), targeting entry-level buyers and competing with models like the Tata Tiago EV or Punch EV.
This five-model strategy reflects VinFast’s push to cover multiple price points and use cases—from budget city runabouts to premium family SUVs and commercial MPVs—while leveraging local manufacturing for cost advantages and faster deliveries. The company is also expanding its dealer network, charging infrastructure (via V-Green), and exploring fleet solutions like ride-hailing services to boost adoption.With aggressive pricing, strong safety focus, and a growing ecosystem, VinFast is positioning itself as a serious contender in India’s EV race. By the end of 2026, these five EVs could make the brand one of the more diverse players in the market.
