VinFast VF6 & VF7 Spotted Testing on Indian Roads for the First Time

Vietnamese electric carmaker VinFast is wasting no time. With its official entry into the Indian market already making headlines, the brand’s upcoming electric SUVs — VinFast VF6 & VF7 — have now been spotted testing on public roads in India for the first time. Selected in Mumbai, these test runs suggest that the EV brand is poised to make a serious entry into one of the world's fastest-growing automobile markets. 

Let's look at what this means for Indian consumers and what can be expected from the upcoming electric SUVs.

First Glimpse: VinFast VF6 & VF7 Begin Road Trials in India

We've spotted both the VinFast VF6 & VF7 test mules on the roads of Mumbai, completely camouflaged to hide their identity! Even though we could not see the VF6 for long, we did get a good look at the VF7 which showcased its strong design language and road-ready proportions.

Key Highlights:

• Tested in Mumbai traffic conditions - telling us a lot about its readiness for the real world.
  
  
• VF6 was seen with compact styling - a great fit for urban users.
  
  
• VF7 had an impressive bold road presence, aggressive stance and a full-width tail light design.
  
  

Design Details: Stylish and Distinctively Modern

While both models wear heavy camouflage, certain details stand out — especially on the larger VF7.

VF7 Design Elements:

• LED DRLs integrated into the sleek front fascia
  
  
• Split LED headlamp setup for a futuristic appeal
  
  
• Full-width rear LED light bar
  
  
• Roof-mounted spoiler and shark-fin antenna
  
  
• Aerodynamic silhouette with sharp creases
  
  

In contrast, the VF6 is expected to feature a more compact and family-oriented design, potentially appealing to those looking for cars under 10 lakh if priced aggressively in India.

Interior and Features: A Tech-Rich Cabin Awaits

From what’s been revealed in global models, the VinFast VF7 is expected to offer an impressive interior filled with technology and comfort features. Although the Indian variant may undergo slight tweaks, core highlights are likely to remain.

Expected Features in the VinFast VF7:

• 12.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system

The VF6, being the smaller sibling, may receive a similar layout with a slightly smaller screen and fewer features, catering to urban commuters and first-time EV buyers — an alternative to traditional best hatchback cars.

Powertrain Expectations: What Will Drive These EVs?

Though official powertrain details for the Indian-spec VinFast VF6 & VF7 are yet to be confirmed, international variants give us a good reference point.
