From range and comfort to advanced safety and features, these models are engineered to redefine premium EV ownership.
With this launch, VinFast said it seeks to position itself as a catalyst in this transformation, combining international expertise with a strong local footprint to serve the diverse needs of Indian customers.

The company’s positioning focuses on delivering advanced features typically found in higher segments, cutting-edge safety technology, and comprehensive after-sales support to consumers seeking sustainable mobility solutions.
It is noted that VinFast has also built a robust ecosystem for delightful ownership experience.
The company has partnered with leading banks and financial institutions to offer tailored financing solutions.
Strategic collaborations with RoadGrid, myTVS, and Global Assure are helping establish a nationwide network for charging and after-sales services.
Furthering its commitment to sustainability, VinFast has also joined hands with BatX Energies for advanced battery recycling and create a circular battery value chain.
Together, these initiatives reflect company’s vision of shaping a greener future through responsible and innovative practices, said the statement.
According to the statement, VinFast India is rapidly expanding its presence across India with planned 35 dealer touchpoints and 26 Workshops across 27 cities by end of 2025.
These include metros and emerging EV hubs like Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Pune, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Kochi and Lucknow.
VinFast said the core to company’s India strategy is its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu, where both the VF 6 and VF 7 will be assembled.
The plant aligns perfectly with India’s vision of becoming a global manufacturing and export hub.
The facility’s strategic location near the port positions it ideally for serving both domestic demand and export markets.
VinFast has earlier expanded to the United States, Canada, Europe, Philippines, Indonesia, and the Middle East.
