Electric cars are becoming increasingly relevant for Indian drivers. Beyond their environmental benefits, they now offer features and a driving experience that genuinely meets consumer desires. VinFast steps into this evolving market with two distinct electric vehicles: the VF 6 and the VF 7. Both models aim to integrate seamlessly into their owners’ lives, offering a balance of practicality, performance, and cutting-edge technology.
VinFast VF 6: Made for Families Who Move A Lot
The VinFast VF 6 is designed for families seeking a compact and practical electric SUV. It boasts a distinctive look, shaped by the “Dualities in Nature” design philosophy from Torino Design. More than just appearance, the VF 6 offers a familiar, no-fuss way to navigate daily commutes, grocery runs, and even highway trips.
The VF 6 comes with three best-in-class features:
- Powerful Motor: Its motor delivers 210 horsepower, marking the highest power output in its segment.
- Large Touchscreen: Inside, a 12.9-inch touchscreen handles most infotainment needs. This is the largest in its segment, featuring built-in Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
- Abundant Smart Features: It includes 26 smart features, the most in its segment, to ensure a convenient drive. These encompass multiple drive assist systems, a head-up display (HUD), and advanced safety tools like lane-keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, and a 360° camera.
- Personalization & Safety: Multiple driving profiles mean drivers no longer need to reset their seat or A/C every time someone else takes the wheel. For safety, the VF 6 includes 7 airbags and a system to filter out fine dust, crucial for high-traffic zones.
- Warranty: VinFast offers a 7-year warranty for the VF 6, providing long-term peace of mind.
VinFast VF 7: For Drivers Who Want More Out of the Car Itself
The VinFast VF 7 caters to a different kind of driver—one who values dynamic performance and advanced technology. Its “Asymmetrical Aerospace” design, also by Torino Design, gives it a look that feels perpetually in motion, even when parked. Step inside, and the tech immediately commands attention. A large center screen dominates the dash, ergonomically angled towards the driver.
In terms of performance, the Plus trim delivers:
- High Power Output: It offers 349 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque.
- Rapid Acceleration: This power enables acceleration from zero to 100 km/h in under 5.8 seconds.
- Advanced ADAS: Like the VF 6, it comes with 26 smart features, including 22 ADAS functions—the most in the segment. These functions include adaptive cruise control, lane keeping, automatic braking, and even traffic sign detection.
- Personalized Experience: The car learns driver preferences, remembering seat positions and climate settings.
- Extended Warranty: The VF 7 comes with an industry-leading 10-year or 200,000-kilometer warranty.
Shared Innovation: Smart Features for Every VinFast Owner
Regardless of whether you choose the VF 6 or the VF 7, you receive the same baseline of smart, practical features designed to enhance everyday driving:
- Over-the-Air (OTA) Updates: Both cars are future-ready with OTA update capability, allowing them to keep improving with new features over time.
- Mobile App Integration: A dedicated mobile app provides remote access, allowing owners to check battery levels, lock or unlock doors, and even start pre-conditioning the cabin before leaving the house.
- Intuitive Voice Controls: Voice controls handle most tasks, including A/C and navigation, and importantly, they support Hindi.
- Advanced Safety Design: Both vehicles benefit from VinFast’s adoption of a state-of-the-art functional safety concept design. This includes an in-house test and validation facility built to meet safety systems aligned with EU benchmarks.
These features are not merely gimmicks; they are designed to simplify everyday driving. VinFast offers two distinct cars for two different drivers, but with one clear idea: to keep things simple, functional, and ready for Indian roads.
