Intro

VinFast has introduced the VF6 at ₹16.49 lakh and the VF7 at ₹20.89 lakh in India, marking the brand’s market entry with two electric SUVs. Why it matters: feature-rich electric SUVs for mainstream buyers, with approachable pricing, long claimed ranges and goodies like extended warranties and free charging.

Prices, variants and positioning

VinFast is going big out of the gate. VF6 comes in three trims – Earth, Wind and Wind Infinity – each with 59.6 kWh battery and front-wheel drive to keep costs and complexity in check. VF7 comes in five variants, from Earth to Sky Infinity. In the VF7 lineup, the entry-level Earth uses a 59.6 kWh pack, while the Wind, Wind Infinity, Sky, and Sky Infinity trims step up to a 70.8 kWh battery. The top-spec Sky and Sky Infinity trims also come with an all-wheel-drive (AWD) option.

VF6: specs in real life

VinFast quotes a range of up to 468 km for the VF6’s 59.6 kWh pack. The Earth variant’s motor delivers 174 hp and 250 Nm of torque, while the Wind and Wind Infinity trims produce 201 hp and 310 Nm. The cabin goes big on everyday usability: Inside, there’s a 12.9-inch central display, assisted driving tech, dual-zone air-conditioning, and front seats that can blow cool air. The tone is clear – fewer gimmicks, more daily comfort.

VF7: step up battery, step up intent

VF7 leans into presence and performance. Offered with 59.6 kWh or 70.8 kWh packs and a choice of FWD or AWD, the VF7 quotes up to 532 km on a single charge, depending on trim. Inside, it mirrors the VF6’s tech-first cabin but ups the sheen with higher-trim 19-inch wheels, a glass roof, and styling that looks at home in the fast lane.

Ownership perks and rollout

Early adopters get a 10-year/2 lakh km battery warranty, 3 years of free maintenance, and free charging at VinFast’s proprietary VGreens stations until July 2028. Bookings are open with a token amount and deliveries will follow as retail outlets open – good news if proximity to service was the bottleneck.

Closing note

With their competitive pricing, high claimed ranges, and a feature list typically found in more expensive vehicles, VinFast’s new EVs are positioned to be strong contenders in India’s growing electric SUV segment.
