VinFast’s First Physical Touchpoint in India

The showroom will prominently showcase VinFast’s upcoming range of premium electric SUVs – the VF 6 and VF 7. As part of its ambitious roadmap, VinFast aims to launch 35 dealerships across 27+ cities by year-end.
Building a Future-Ready EV Ecosystem and Local Assembly
VinFast officially opened bookings for its premium electric SUVs, the VF 6 and VF 7, on July 15, 2025. This was backed by a rapidly expanding dealer network and national EV ecosystem initiatives.
