Vietnam’s leading electric carmaker Vinfast is all set to make its debut in India with two new SUVs, the VF 6 and VF 7. After creating a buzz at the Auto Expo 2025 and opening its first showroom just last month, the company has now confirmed that prices for these SUVs will be revealed on 6 September 2025. This will mark Vinfast’s official entry into the Indian car market, one of the most exciting and competitive EV spaces in the world right now.
Growing Showroom Network Across India
Vinfast isn’t just bringing in cars, it’s building a presence. The company has already opened a few dealerships in major cities and plans to expand to 35 outlets by the end of this year. This strong network will help new customers with easier access to test drives, after-sales support, and servicing, a crucial step for any new brand entering India.
Pre-Bookings Are Already Open
Good news for those eager to be among the first Vinfast owners bookings for the VF 6 and VF 7 are now live. Buyers can reserve their SUV by paying a booking amount of ₹21,000 through the company’s official website. Early bookings are a sign that Vinfast wants to test the response before prices are revealed.
What We Know About the Battery and Performance
Vinfast has shared some initial details about the SUVs’ batteries. The smaller VF 6 will come with a 59.6kWh battery pack, while the larger VF 7 will use a 70.8kWh pack. While the company has not yet announced the official driving range or charging times, the numbers suggest they will directly compete with popular models like the MG ZS EV, Hyundai Kona Electric, and the Tata Nexon EV Max. More details are expected at the official launch event next week.
Made in Tamil Nadu, Built for India
One of Vinfast’s strongest moves is setting up local production. Both the VF 6 and VF 7 will be assembled at the company’s factory in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu. The plant has the capacity to make 50,000 cars every year, with plans to scale it up to 1.5 lakh units if demand grows. Local production is likely to help Vinfast keep costs competitive while also boosting India’s EV manufacturing ecosystem.
Why This Launch is a Big Deal
Vinfast’s entry is not just about two SUVs, it signals the growing importance of India in the global EV market. With the government offering incentives for electric vehicles and more buyers showing interest in eco-friendly mobility, the timing couldn’t be better. If Vinfast manages to price the VF 6 and VF 7 smartly, they could become strong rivals to established players and give Indian buyers fresh, stylish, and tech-driven alternatives.
Countdown to the Launch
With the launch date just days away, excitement is building up among EV enthusiasts and car buyers alike. The big question now is how much will Vinfast price its first cars in India? If the company manages to strike the right balance between features and affordability, the VF 6 and VF 7 could set the tone for Vinfast’s future in the country. Vinfast’s arrival adds another exciting chapter to India’s rapidly growing EV story. Now, all eyes are on 6 September, when the prices will finally be revealed.
