VinFast Accelerates India Strategy With Launch of Premium VF MPV 7 Seven-Seater Electric Vehicle
VinFast Auto India launches the all-new VF MPV 7, a premium seven-seater electric multi-purpose vehicle priced at ₹24.48 lakh. Featuring a 517 km range and a 10-year battery warranty, this locally assembled EV marks VinFast’s third Indian launch. CEO Tapan Ghosh details the vehicle's spacious theatre-style seating and advanced tech aimed at multi-generational families.
The VF MPV 7 is designed around the core insight that space remains the primary consideration for multi-generational Indian families. It features a theatre-style seating layout and a truly spacious third row that comfortably accommodates seven adults. Built with a best-in-segment wheelbase of 2,840 mm, the vehicle offers up to 1,240 litres of storage to manage luggage and family lifestyle demands. Technical specifications revealed by Mr. Tapan Ghosh and Mr. Nguyen Duc Hieu, Deputy Director Vehicle Program at VinFast, highlight a 60.13 kWh lithium-ion battery delivering an ARAI-certified range of 517 kilometres. The front-wheel-drive powertrain produces 150 kW and 280 Nm of torque, enabling acceleration from 0-100 km/h in under 9 seconds with a top speed of 140 km/h. Fast charging capabilities allow the battery to replenish from 10 to 70 per cent in just 30 minutes via DC charging of up to 80 kW.
The exterior of the VF MPV 7 showcases a bold upright front fascia with a signature V light, dual-function DRLs with LED turn indicators, and 48.26 cm (19”) black alloy wheels. The silhouette is defined by clean lines, sporty cladding, a chrome window beltline, and an integrated rear spoiler. Inside, the minimalist upmarket interior offers a choice between a sporty all-black theme or a premium dual-tone black and brown theme. Features include a free-standing 25.65 cm (10.1”) infotainment screen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a ViVi virtual assistant, and a modern integrated gear stalk on the steering column. Comfort is enhanced by a tilt and telescopic D-cut leatherette steering wheel, a 6-way adjustable driver seat, and dedicated third-row AC controls with ergonomically positioned vents. Practicality is furthered by "Camp mode," which maintains HVAC and infotainment while stationary, and a brake pedal integrated starter that removes the need for a push button.
Safety and ownership security form the backbone of the VF MPV 7 offering. The safety pack includes ABS, EBD, BA, ESC, TCS, four airbags, Hill Start Assist, Roll Over Mitigation, and all-disc brakes. VinFast provides a best-in-segment assurance package comprising 3-year free maintenance, a 10-year battery warranty, a 7-year vehicle warranty, a 5-year suspension warranty, a 7-year paint warranty, and 7 years of roadside assistance. The vehicle is available in Jet Black, Infinity Blanc, Moonlit Ocean, and Zenith Grey for both interior themes, while Solar Ruby and Introspective Brown are offered exclusively with the sporty black interior.
Locally assembled at VinFast’s factory in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu, the VF MPV 7 joins the VF 6 and VF 7 in a lineup produced in India, for India. To support this growth, VinFast aims to expand its retail presence from its current 50 facilities to 75 showrooms by the end of 2026. The service network is set to reach more than 230 Extended Service Workshops nationwide within the same timeframe. Accompanying these infrastructural developments are consumer initiatives such as a free EV charging programme through the V-Green network until March 31, 2029, a “Trade Gas For Electric” incentive programme, and a Value Assured buyback programme of up to 75%. As a subsidiary of Vingroup JSC, VinFast continues its mission to make electric mobility accessible, contributing directly to India’s emission reduction goals and the global transition to sustainable transport.
