VinFast Charges into India with the VF6 and VF7 ready to lead a new EV era

READY FOR TAKE-OFF!

India's electric mobility landscape is on the cusp of transformation, and at the heart of this revolution is a name that has already made waves across the globe: VinFast. The Vietnamese powerhouse, founded in 2017, has swiftly risen to become Vietnam's bestselling car brand, demonstrating how vision, engineering excellence, and bold investments can redefine a market.

Now, with India firmly in its sights, VinFast is entering the market with two compelling models — VF6 and VF7 — ready to meet the demands of the modern Indian EV buyer. With its India debut spearheaded by two electric SUVs that combine futuristic design with urban practicality, the Vietnamese powerhouse couldn't have scripted a stronger start.

The VF6, a subcompact SUV, is crafted with city life in mind. At 4.24 metres long, it strikes a sweet spot for navigating India's bustling streets, offering a balance of agility and road presence. Its sleek design, created by Torino Design, features sharp character lines, slim LED headlamps, and a solid, confident stance. Step inside, and the VF6 greets you with an airy, minimalist cabin anchored by a large 12.9-inch infotainment display and a clean, driver-focused layout. A head-up display (HUD) replaces the traditional instrument cluster, giving you all the essential information you could need on the move.

Under the skin, the VF6 Plus variant delivers 198 bhp and 25.5 kgm of torque, ensuring brisk urban performance. Its 59.6 kWh battery provides a claimed 381 km range, enough to handle daily commutes with ease. Add Level 2 ADAS, wireless charging, and a panoramic sunroof, and the VF6 emerges as a feature-rich package for young urbanites looking to embrace electric mobility without compromise.

CHARACTER CERTIFICATE

Recently, I drove the new Mahindra Bolero, an all-black number that somehow still manages to turn heads and spark conversations. Of course, the bare-basic automobile made me wonder out loud at length about its nature. The seats were terrible, it didn’t go very fast, it didn’t steer all that well at whatever speeds it could muster, and stopping was as much a matter of braking technology as it was of prayers. But I liked it. It had character. It sort of reminded me of the Moto Guzzi V9 Bobber, which once pleasantly surprised me with its lovely nature, even though I was done for by the end of the day. The days spent in the Bolero and on the Bobber confirmed what I've always known — too much character is bad for my back.
