Vinfast VF 6

Vinfast has officially increased prices of its electric SUV lineup in India with the end of the introductory pricing period. The VF 6 and VF 7, both launched recently to target India’s growing EV segment, now come with higher price tags across all variants. The hike ranges between Rs. 80,000 and Rs. 1.30 lakh depending on the trim level, marking the start of a new pricing phase for the brand.

VF6

The Vinfast VF 6 was introduced as a compact electric SUV with modern design and tech-focused features. It comes powered by a 59.6kWh battery pack and is available in three variants—Earth, Wind, and Wind Infinity.

Here’s how the pricing has changed for the VF 6:

Wind₹16.89 lakh₹90,000₹17.79 lakh
Wind Infinity₹17.49 lakh₹90,000₹18.39 lakh

Despite the hike, the VF 6 still packs a decent feature list for its price. Highlights include:

  • 12.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system
  • Connected LED DRLs and tail lamps
  • 18-inch alloy wheels
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems)

This makes the VF 6 a strong contender for buyers looking for a tech-loaded, compact electric SUV in the sub-₹20 lakh range.

VF7

The VF 7 sits above the VF 6 in the lineup and has seen a more significant price revision. Available in Earth, Wind, and Sky trims, the SUV offers two battery options: a 59.6kWh pack producing 175bhp, and a larger 70.8kWh battery with 201bhp output.

Here’s the updated pricing breakdown for the VF 7:

The VF 7 targets a more premium audience with features like:

  • Glass roof
  • Dual-zone climate control
  • 12.9-inch infotainment system
  • Powered driver seat
  • Air purifier
  • Larger battery with more performance

This SUV is clearly aimed at urban families and young professionals looking for a futuristic ride with comfort and capability.

Market

Vinfast’s entry into India came with big ambitions, but the initial market response has been moderate. While the brand offers competitive features and decent value, it still has a long way to go in winning customer confidence, especially in a market dominated by established players like Tata, Hyundai, and MG.

However, Vinfast isn’t slowing down. The company has plans to launch two more EVs soon—the VF 3 (a compact electric car) and the Limo Green electric MPV. These launches are expected to broaden Vinfast’s portfolio and help target both personal and commercial vehicle segments.

While the price hikes may disappoint some early prospects, they mark a shift toward the company’s standard pricing strategy now that the introductory phase is over. Even with the increase, the VF 6 and VF 7 continue to offer a compelling mix of tech, performance, and design.

For buyers still comparing options in the EV space, Vinfast’s growing lineup might be worth keeping an eye on—especially as more products hit the Indian market in 2026.
