Vietnam’s electric carmaker Vinfast seems all set to make its Indian debut. The VF 7, a stylish all-electric SUV, was recently spotted in Pune. With a launch timeline already confirmed for late 2025, things seem to be moving on schedule.
At Auto Expo 2025, Vinfast made an ambitious statement by showcasing a wide EV lineup, including the VF 3, VF 6, VF 7, VF 8, VF 9, VF e34, and the VF Wild concept pickup. But the biggest focus for India remains the VF 6 and VF 7 electric SUVs, both confirmed for launch during the Diwali season of 2025.
VF 7 spied in Pune, without camouflage
Two units of the VF 7 were recently seen near the PCMC area of Pune, uncovered and loaded on flatbed trucks. One was finished in dark green and the other in white, both fitted with black alloy wheels and flush door handles. The charging port was visible on the front quarter panel, hinting these were ready for homologation.
What we know about specs and features
The VF 7 is sold globally in two variants, both powered by a 75.3 kWh battery pack.
- Eco: 201 bhp, 309 Nm torque, 450 km range (WLTP)
- Plus: 348 bhp, 499 Nm torque, 431 km range (WLTP)
Vinfast claims to offer a premium cabin experience with vegan leather seats, panoramic glass roof, LED lighting, and a minimal design language. The SUV measures 4,545 mm in length and rides on a 2,840 mm wheelbase.
India launch likely on track
These sighted vehicles are likely meant for ARAI certification, which is mandatory for new vehicle launches in India. With both variants now seen here and no camouflage in sight, it seems Vinfast is sticking to its original launch timeline.
