The Vietnamese electric vehicle manufacturer is all set to make its debut in the Indian market. Before the launch a slew of its cars have been spotted testing as well. The brand has been planning to bring in the VF6 as well as the VF7. A few days back a VF7 was also spotted on the Indian Roads testing under camouflage. But this time around the VF6 has been spotted while being offloaded from a transit truck.
The spotted vehicle finished in red and was covered with white sheets to protect the vehicle against any kind of scratches or nicks. The spot has been reported by HT Auto and the vehicle that was spotted in their report was a left hand drive vehicle, so it’s possible that this might be a press vehicle, or brought for marketing purposes. The VF6 as well as the VF7 are being showcased to the general public in several malls throughout India.
The Vinfast VF6 Specifications
The VF6 would be a compact SUV equipped with a 59.6 KWH battery, the car would be offered in two variants, a Eco as well as a Plus variant. The car would be able to churn out a NEDC-rated range of 460-480 Km. Based on the variants the power of the vehicle would range from 177 PS/250 NM and around 204 PS and 310 NM.
The VF6 as well as the VF7 would be equipped with advanced technology such as a 12.9 inch touchscreen and a heads up display, 8 way power adjustable seats, and support for Android Auto/Apple Car Play. Additionally the car would be equipped with features like ESC, Hill start assist, blind spot detection, automatic emergency brakes and a 360-Degree Camera.
Vinfast has funneled close to Rs 2 billion (US$2bn) in getting their own manufacturing infrastructure ready. The Tamil Nadu Plant in Toothikudi is expected to start its operations in June – July 2025. Initially the plant would be assembling Completely knocked Down (CKD) Units and would ramp up to full capacity of 1,50,000 soon. Beyond that VinFast is also exploring expansion into Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
