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.

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.

Inside, the VF7 also gets a dual-tone theme, but uses leatherette materials extensively on all major touchpoints in the cabin.

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.
