VinFast India Special Feature - Establishing Standards

The Indian automotive market is a rather attractive proposition for automobile manufacturers in today’s challenging times. Customer aspirations for vehicle ownership in India are at record highs, and the ratio of population to vehicles per capita remains low. The market has also been growing by leaps and bounds over the past few years, and there is increasing acceptance of new brands among Indian customers.

Naturally, all of these factors make India a very attractive market for a carmaker like VinFast, which is aiming to expand globally. As the fourth-largest economy in the world and the world’s third-largest automotive market, India is a natural fit for any brand looking to expand its horizons. No wonder, then, that VinFast has chosen India as a priority market for launching its vehicles and delivering its next phase of growth.

VinFast VF 6: Segment-Leading Battery, ADAS, and Equipment

Positioned in the rapidly expanding C-segment SUV market, the VF 6 offers a fresh option for Indian customers.

With VinFast offering only EV products, the VF 6 comes equipped with a sizable 59.6kWh battery pack, which is easily the largest in its segment. This gives it a very promising range of 468km (ARAI-certified), and it also comes with fast charging, going from 10-70% in just 25 minutes.

But it’s not just the range and battery capacity that attract the VF 6; it comes loaded with features and standard equipment. Safety is, of course, a very important point of VinFast’s product philosophy and, as such, the VF 6 comes equipped with 7 airbags as standard on all its variants. This is also paired with ADAS features and other active and passive safety systems to ensure the VF 6 is safer than any other product in its segment.

The feature is also supplemented by a 12.9-inch multimedia screen and a heads-up display that enhance the driving experience. Additionally, the VF 6 is equipped with all features one would expect from a car in this segment, including a fully automatic air-conditioning system, automatic headlights, electric seats, and even seats draped in vegan leather.

VinFast VF 7: Flagship Electric SUV with Dual Battery and AWD Options

The VF 7 is VinFast’s flagship product in the Indian market and aims to redefine what affordable luxury looks like. Measuring over 4.5 metres in length, the VF 7 is being offered to Indian customers with two different battery packs and five different variants.

The benefit of the two variants is that the VF 7 is available in both front-wheel and all-wheel drive. The front-wheel-drive version is offered with a 59.6kWh battery pack that gives the VF 7 the ability to charge from 10-70% in just 24 minutes. This battery pack provides the VF 7 with a power output of 174 bhp and 250 Nm of torque.

But if it’s peak power you are after, the larger 70.8kWh battery pack is for you. With the additional advantage of all-wheel drive with dual motors in the Sky variant, the bigger battery pack produces 349bhp and 500Nm of torque, which means the all-wheel-drive VF 7 can accelerate from 0-100 in just 5.8 seconds! The larger battery pack also means that the VF 7 – depending on the variant you choose – offers up to 532km of range on a single charge in the Wind variant, while the most powerful Sky variant has a claimed range of up to 510km.

VinFast India: Premium EVs Focused on Safety, Performance, and Value

And you can feel the luxury while sitting in VinFast products, with a smattering of leather finishes, large seats, comfortable space, and an extensive feature list.

Both the VF 6 and VF 7 offer an enticing proposition for the Indian customer at a very reasonable price point.
