VinFast VF 6: VinFast VF 6 made waves with its September 2025 launch in India, starting at Rs 16.49 lakh as the Vietnamese brand’s affordable EV SUV tailored for local roads.

Deliveries kicked off in October in cities like Kochi and Jaipur, drawing cheers from early buyers on social media for its punchy performance and feature punch.

Right-hand drive models built with Indian input position it against Tata Curvv EV and Mahindra BE 6, backed by a massive 7-year unlimited km warranty.​

Futuristic Design Meets Practicality

The VF 6 sports a compact 4.3m footprint with sharp LED split headlamps, a wide air dam, and wraparound taillights connected by a full LED bar.

Aerodynamic 18-inch alloys and colors like Crimson Red, Jet Black, and Urban Mint give it premium appeal without excess chrome.​

Ground clearance suits speed bumps and potholes, while the coupe-SUV profile hides its sub-4m rivals’ boxiness. Frunk adds clever storage for cables, making daily chores easier.​

Owners appreciate the sturdy build that feels European despite Asian roots.​

Premium Cabin Loaded with Tech

Inside, a 12.9-inch floating touchscreen dominates, running VinFast’s intuitive UI with wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay.

Dual-zone AC, 6-8 speaker audio, and vegan leather seats create a lounge-like vibe, with Earth trim in all-black and Winds in mocha-brown.​

Powered 8-way driver’s seat, ventilated fronts, and panoramic roof on top trims elevate comfort. Coloured HUD projects speed and nav without eyes off road.​

Rear space fits adults okay, but the sloping roof pinches headroom—better for kids or short trips.​

Potent Electric Powertrains

A 59.6kWh LFP battery powers FWD motors: base Earth at 177hp/250Nm (10.4s 0-100kmph), Winds at 204hp/310Nm (8.9s).

Claimed range hits 463-480km ARAI, real-world 350-400km mixed use.​

DC fast charging (10-70% in 25min) at 150kW suits road trips. Eco/Normal/Sport modes tweak throttle, with four regen levels adjustable via screen.​

Reviews note wooden low-speed pull but highway confidence, calling for OTA fixes on calibration.​

Safety and ADAS Suite

Seven airbags, 360-camera, ESP, hill-hold, and tyre pressure monitor come standard. Top Winds add Level-2 ADAS: adaptive cruise, lane keep, auto emergency braking, and blind-spot alerts.​

Robust chassis absorbs bumps firmly at speed but jars over slow potholes. Highway poise shines with minimal roll and precise steering.​

Untested by NCAP yet, but VinFast eyes 5-stars.​

Feature Highlights That Impress

Keyless entry, electronic parking brake, auto hold, and powered tailgate simplify life. Wireless charging, ambient lights, and OTA updates keep it fresh.​

Voice commands handle nav and AC intuitively. No physical buttons for climate irks some, but screen response redeems it.​

Pricing and Variant Guide

Introductory prices make it a steal, with 7-year battery warranty and 10-year vehicle coverage. On-road figures add Rs 1 lakh-ish.​

Rivals in the Hot EV Segment

Cheaper than Creta Electric (Rs 17.99 lakh up), it undercuts ZS EV on warranty and power. Curvv EV matches range but lacks ADAS depth; BE 6 offers similar specs at par price.​

VinFast’s battery subscription option (not active yet) could disrupt ownership costs.​

Owner Experiences and Delivery Buzz

First owners in Kochi shared unboxing videos praising build and app integration. Social feedback highlights smooth highway runs but calls for regen tweaks.​

Service network via dealers promises quick fixes, with Tamil Nadu plant ramping local production.​
