VinFast Debuts in India with the VF 6 & VF 7 – Game Changer or Just Another EV?
Vietnam’s VinFast US has officially stepped into the Indian EV market, unveiling the VinFast India 6 and VF 7 at the #BharatMobilityGlobalExpo2025. With an ambitious ?4,000 crore investment in a Tamil Nadu plant, VinFast is ready to challenge established players like Tata Motors , Hyundai Motor India Ltd. , and Morris Garrages . But can it really shake up the game? Let’s find out!
VF 6 – The Punchy Compact SUV
?? Segment: B-SUV (competes with @Tata Nexon EV, @MG ZS EV)
?? Power: 178 HP (Eco) / 204 HP (Plus)
?? Torque: Up to 310 Nm
?? Battery & Range: 59.6 kWh | 381-399 km
?? Key Features: Big touchscreen, ADAS, OTA updates
?? How does it stack up? The Tata Nexon EV (40.5 kWh, 143 HP, 325 km range) offers less power but is already a market favorite. The VF 6, with its futuristic design and tech-laden cabin, could be a worthy rival.
VF 7 – The Stylish Mid-Size SUV

?? Battery & Range: 75.3 kWh | 431-450 km
?? Key Features: Massive 15-inch touchscreen (Plus), Level-2 ADAS, sleek crossover design
?? How does it stack up? The MG ZS EV (50.3 kWh, 176 HP, 461 km range) has a longer range, but the VF 7’s high-performance AWD Plus variant makes it a sportier alternative.
VinFast’s India Strategy – What’s Next?
VinFast isn’t just bringing SUVs—it’s entering with a full fleet, including the VF 3, VF e34, VF 8, VF 9 SUVs, electric scooters, and even an EV pickup concept (VF Wild)! With a Tamil Nadu factory and a plan to sell by mid-2025, they mean business.
?? Final Thoughts: Can VinFast succeed? If they get pricing right (undercutting Tata & Hyundai), they could make waves. But in an EV market dominated by homegrown giants, competition will be fierce.
