Launch & Pricing

Platform & Powertrain

The VF7 is positioned as a premium electric SUV with two battery/powertrain choices. Lower trims use the 59.6 kWh pack (example: VF7 Earth), while higher trims can get the larger 70.8 kWh pack and AWD (Sky variants).

• Battery: 59.6 kWh (base) and 70.8 kWh (longer range) options.
• Motor output examples: VF7 Earth (with 59.6 kWh) lists ~130 kW motor and ~250 Nm torque for the single-motor spec; AWD Sky variants provide higher combined output (manufacturer specs vary by trim).
• Charging: manufacturer communications cite rapid DC charging capability; some claims show ~24 minutes for 10→70% on certain configurations (manufacturer test conditions).

Range & Charging

VinFast lists range figures that vary by battery and variant — the VF7’s top claimed range is around 532 km on the larger battery in ideal cycles. Real-world range will vary with driving speed, temperature, payload and HVAC use.

Pros & Considerations

Why the VF7 matters for India

VinFast’s VF7 represents a major new entrant into India’s EV SUV market backed by local manufacturing. Competitive pricing, feature lists and early ownership benefits make it an important product for buyers looking for value-packed electric SUVs — and it pressures incumbents to sharpen their offerings.

If you want an affordable yet well-equipped electric SUV with solid tech and a choice of battery sizes, the VF7 is worth evaluating — especially if you can access VinFast’s dealer/service network in your area and take advantage of introductory benefits. As always, test drive, verify real-world range for your use case, and compare charging options before buying.
