It is no news that VinFast, the Vietnam-based electric carmaker, will be debuting in India with the VinFast VF6 and VF7 eSUVs. Earlier this month, in August 2025, VinFast started the production of both the VF6 and VF7, which hinted at both models launching during the festive season. Now, the Vietnamese carmaker has confirmed that both models will be launched in India on September 6, 2025.
If you are interested in knowing more about the VinFast VF6 and VF7, here’s everything you need to know about them:
VinFast VF6
The first and most affordable product in VinFast’s Indian lineup this year will be the VF6, which will square off against compact eSUVs such as the Hyundai Creta Electric and Tata Curvv EV.
In terms of design, VinFast has made the VF6’s exterior design look sleek with clean body lines. It has also equipped it with eyebrow-shaped LED DRLs that are connected via the VinFast logo, projector LED headlights, 18-inch dual-tone alloy wheels and a wraparound LED tail light bars that are connected via a VinFast logo. It also gets thick body cladding on the wheel arches that runs across the lower section of the SUV, which enhances its rugged appeal.
Inside, it gets a dual-tone theme that is flanked with a 12.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a coloured head-up display (HUD) and a 3-spoke steering wheel. It gets a minimalist dashboard layout with sleek AC vents.

VinFast VF7
The VinFast VF7 will be launched alongside the VF6 and will be a bigger sibling to it that will lock horns with the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and BMW iX1 LWB.
Compared to the VF6, the VF7 has a lot more aggressive design with lots of cuts and creases. It gets similar LED DRLs as the VF6, projector LED headlights, 19-inch alloy wheels, flush-type door handles and a sleek lighbar at the rear, between which is the VinFast logo.
Inside, the VF7 also gets a dual-tone theme, but uses leatherette materials extensively on all major touchpoints in the cabin. It gets the same touchscreen infotainment system and digital driver’s display as the VF6 while packing in an 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, dual-zone auto AC, ventilated front seats, and panoramic glass roof.

Expected Price And Rivals
The VinFast VF6 could be priced at around Rs 25 lakh (ex-showroom) and, as mentioned earlier, it will square off against popular electric offerings like Hyundai Creta Electric, Tata Curvv EV, Mahindra BE 6, and MG ZS EV.
The VinFast VF7, on the other hand, will be priced at around Rs 50 lakh and will hence compete against the Volvo EX30, Hyundai Ioniq 5, BMW iX1 LWB and BYD Sealion 7 in India.
