As of now, it is an EV-only brand, with three models on sale in India: VF6, VF7, and VF MPV 7. VF5 is the upcoming VinFast car that’s expected to launch later in 2026 and is estimated to be priced between Rs 10-12 lakh.

Pros and Cons of Buying VinFast Cars in India

Pros

Cons

Long warranty coverage (up to 10 years/2,00,000km on the car and battery, depending on the model)

VinFast is a new brand in India, so there is no long-term reliability or resale data yet

5-star Bharat NCAP rating 

Dealer and service network is still developing and is thinner than that of established rivals 

Local manufacturing via the Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu plant

Being a new brand, long-term spare-parts availability is yet to be proven 

Two distinct body styles (SUV and 7-seat MPV) already on offer for a brand barely a year old in India 

The lineup is EV-only, so there is no petrol or hybrid option

I am planning to buy a VinFast VF7 with the 70.8kWh battery pack. However, after going through various online videos of users reporting serious issues such as paint chipping, suspension leaks, dashboard cracks and inefficient service support, I am having second thoughts. The trouble is that options such as the Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9e also have user-reported issues, particularly around software. Is buying an EV in the Rs 25-30 lakh price range risky? If not, which would you choose between the VF7, BE 6 and XEV 9e? There will be three rear passengers.

•5w

Is the ride comfort of rear seat passengers of VF7 70.8 kWh 2WD better than that of 9e? Which of these two are better suited for 3 rear seat passengers? Which of these two have lesser software and hardware reliability issues? I am inclined towards the VF7 subject to clarity on the above 3 queries. Early adopters of VF7 have reported quite a few issues. Should I skip VF7 altogether or worth taking a plunge?

Hi, I'm looking for a new second car, mainly for city use and occasional highway trips, maybe once a month. My top priorities are comfort, space, and a good driving experience. My average daily usage would be around 50 km, mainly for household work. I'm considering an EV for its silent and smooth drive. My shortlisted cars are:Tomahawk EV, VF7, XEV 9S, Sierra EV My budget is Rs. 25-30 lakh.

Hi, I have a Kia Carens 1.5 turbo DCT and an Xcent AMT. I am looking to replace the Xcent with an EV. My monthly running is around 20k km, with mostly city usage. I want a sporty EV in the Rs. 20-25 lakh price range that will be more enjoyable to drive than the Kia.

I am confused whether I should go for EV or not. I own 2 cars. One is an 8 year old i20 and other one is a 4 year old XUV 700 AX5 MT PTR. I am thinking of changing i20. Which EV will be suitable for highway and city use. I have driven Vinfast VF6 and MG Windsor. Both are good but Vinfast is new to India. Kindly suggest

I think the Vinfast MPV7 is a better option compared to the Clavis. It looks much better and does at least 50 km more on a single charge. The buyback makes it a better buy, though after-sales and spare part availability are concerns since Vinfast is new in India.

The Vinfast VF6 is a new electric SUV launched in India in 2025. It looks modern and stylish with a coupe-like design. The interiors are futuristic, featuring a large 12.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a heads-up display. The seats are vegan leather, heated and ventilated for comfort. Cabin space is decent for a small family, and the boot space is good, expandable by folding the rear seats.

Vinfast Cars - FAQs

As of July 2026, there are three Vinfast models on sale in India: the VF6, VF7, VF MPV 7 and Limo Green. The VF6 and VF7 are 5-seat SUVs, whereas the other two are 7-seat MPVs.

Yes, the Vinfast VF5 could be launched sometime in 2026, and the all-electric hatchback is estimated to be priced between Rs 10.00 lakh and Rs 12.00 lakh (ex-showroom).

If you have a budget of under Rs 30 lakh (ex-showroom) and want a stylish electric SUV with good driving dynamics, punchy performance, premium interiors and a sense of relative exclusivity on the road, then Vinfast SUVs are worth checking out.

Considering that the brand is relatively new and doesn't have a widespread dealership or after-sales service network in India, you may not want to rush into buying a Vinfast car without checking out alternatives from more established marques such as BYD and Kia, which have comparable offerings.
