VinFast VF 6, India’s electric vehicle (EV) sector is expanding quickly, and Vietnamese carmaker VinFast is preparing to enter the scene with the VF6 — a sleek, feature-rich electric SUV designed to appeal to families and tech-savvy buyers alike. Expected to launch in September 2025 with a price range of ₹18–25 lakh, the VF 6 will compete with popular models like the Tata Harrier EV and Hyundai Creta EV.
A Modern Electric SUV with Impressive Range
Range anxiety remains a major worry for many electric vehicle buyers, but the VinFast VF 6 addresses this with its 59.6kWh battery, offering a WLTP-certified range of up to 399 km per charge to help drivers feel more confident on longer journeys. This makes it a practical choice for daily commutes as well as weekend getaways.
For drivers who need to recharge quickly, the VF 6 supports DC fast charging, enabling the battery to charge from 20% to 80% in only 30 minutes. This feature is especially useful for long drives where quick top-ups are needed.
Powerful Performance for an Exciting Drive
The VF 6 comes in two variants Eco and Plus each offering different power outputs. The Eco variant generates 174 hp and 250 Nm of torque, while the Plus version offers a more powerful 201 hp and 310 Nm of torque. Both trims come with a single front-mounted electric motor and front-wheel drive, delivering smooth performance and good efficiency. Though not built for high-speed thrills, the VF 6 focuses on providing a comfortable ride for city commutes and highway trips, making it well-suited for family use.
Sleek, Futuristic Design Inspired by Italian Styling
VinFast collaborated with renowned Italian design studios Pininfarina and Torino Design to craft the VF 6’s modern and dynamic appearance. The SUV sports striking LED headlights with distinctive V-shaped DRLs, a sleek coupe-inspired profile, and a panoramic glass roof, all of which contribute to its youthful and futuristic presence on the road. The dimensions (4,239mm length, 1,821mm width, and 1,595mm height)make it a compact SUV, easy to maneuver in city traffic while still offering ample cabin space. The 2,730mm wheelbase ensures a comfortable ride for all passengers.
High-Tech Interior with Premium Features
Inside the VF 6, the cabin feels futuristic and uncluttered thanks to the absence of a conventional instrument cluster — instead, all driving data is shown on a large 12.9-inch touchscreen that dominates the dashboard. This clean design gives the interior a modern, spacious feel. The SUV also comes with eco-friendly vegan leather seats, ventilated and power-adjustable front seats for added relaxation, ambient lighting to set the mood, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for hassle-free smartphone pairing. A dual-zone automatic climate control system keeps everyone comfortable, while the panoramic glass roof brings in more light and makes the space feel even bigger. With 423 liters of boot space that can be expanded by folding the rear seats, the VF 6 offers enough practicality for family getaways or daily errands.
Advanced Safety and Driver Assistance
VinFast places a strong emphasis on safety, equipping the VF 6 with a comprehensive suite of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). Its Level 2 ADAS package offers features such as adaptive cruise control to maintain a safe gap from vehicles ahead, lane-keeping assist to help avoid accidental lane departures, and a 360-degree camera for improved visibility while parking. The Plus variant is also fitted with seven airbags for enhanced occupant protection. In addition to these features, the VF 6 is equipped with ABS, electronic stability control, parking sensors, and a sturdy body frame, all of which contribute to making it one of the safest choices among electric SUVs.

VinFast is serious about the Indian market and will assemble the VF 6 locally at its Tamil Nadu plant, which helps keep costs competitive. The company is also expected to offer a 7-year vehicle warranty and a 10-year battery warranty, giving buyers peace of mind regarding long-term reliability.
Final Thought
The VinFast VF 6 promises to be a well-balanced electric SUV that combines modern design, advanced technology, strong safety features, and competitive pricing. Expected to be priced between ₹18–25 lakh, it’s set to rival upcoming models like the Tata Harrier EV and Hyundai Creta EV. With a range of up to 399 km, fast-charging capabilities, a stylish futuristic look, and a host of premium features, the VF 6 has the potential to attract Indian buyers ready to embrace electric driving. If VinFast backs this up with reliable after-sales support and a robust charging network, the VF 6 could quickly become a strong contender in India’s expanding EV market.
