VinFast: The ambitious EV manufacturer from Vietnam has made some significant strides to enter the automotive market in India with the official unveiling of VF 7 at Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025. This product launch is yet another significant highlight for the Vietnamese company as India continues to set its pace under the sustainable development model of solutions in transportation.
Highlight of the launch event
The VF 7 was launched through a major, high-profile show that included models such as the VF 6 and VF 9. The company aimed to present these models in significant Indian cities ahead of the automobile’s release scheduled for the last half of 2025 in order to create a huge dealer network where customers could comfortably access and follow up on issues with the auto.
Key Features of VinFast VF 7
The VF 7 is an electric five-seater SUV that perfectly combines performance, cutting-edge technology, and safety aspects. Some stand-out features of this vehicle are highlighted below:
- Battery: It comes with a 75.3 kWh pack battery, with a range of 450 kilometers on a full charge for a single motor variant. The vehicle has been more inclined towards keeping the dual variants as well on the consumer-driven preferences.
- Power: In the single-motor variant, the provided 201 bhp and 310 Nm of torque include a front-wheel drive setup. The dual motor is more powerful and the all-wheel-drive variant with an exhilarating 348 bhp and 500 Nm of torque, but gets the job done for commuting in cities and some adventure drives.
- Technology and Safety: The VF 7 features a state-of-the-art 15-inch infotainment display, offering seamless connectivity and entertainment options. It also comes with a Level-2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) suite, which provides safety through adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assistance, and automated emergency braking.
VinFast Asia CEO Pham Sanh Chau said that he was glad to enter the Indian market. “Our presence at the Bharat Mobility Show 2025 marks our efforts to bring the latest electric mobility solutions to India. The VF 7 is not just a car; it is a manifestation of our vision for sustainable transport in one of the world’s largest automotive markets.”
Industry Response on VF 7
Industry observers have welcomed VinFast’s aggressive move. Analysts foresee that the much-needed aggressive pricing of the VF 7 to be between ₹20 lakh and ₹30 lakh will draw customers looking at pocket-friendly. This plan has put VinFast in a strong position against current market leaders established in the Indian EV market. VinFast will set up local assembly operations in the state of Tamil Nadu. The step will help meet the demands in the market while preparing the company for future exports to other parts of Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. Innovation in new battery leasing options will also be pursued to lower entry barriers for consumers and make the vehicle more affordable.
