The VinFast VF 7 is an electric compact crossover SUV (C-segment) manufactured and marketed by VinFast of Vingroup.

Overview

The VF 7 was first introduced to the public in January 2022 along with the VF 5 and VF 6 at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES).[1][2] It was designed by Lee Jae Hoon, a senior exterior designer for General Motors.[3] VinFast launched a pre-order campaign for the VF 7 from 2-30 December 2022 in the local Vietnamese market,[4] with the first deliveries to domestic customers on March 30, 2024.[5]

India launch

In early 2025, VinFast announced the VF 7 as its debut model for the Indian market. The electric SUV was showcased at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo in New Delhi, alongside other upcoming models such as the VF 3 and VF 9.[6][7][8] The company plans to begin local assembly of the VF 7 in Tamil Nadu at a new 400-acre facility with an initial production capacity of 50,000 units per year.[9][10]

Equipment

The VF 7 is equipped a 15-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a heads-up display, wireless smartphone charging, ambient lighting, leatherette upholstery, and a panoramic sunroof.[11] Safety and driver-assistance technologies include Level 2 ADAS, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, blind spot detection, and a 360-degree camera system. The vehicle comes standard with eight airbags and electronic stability control.[12][13]

Variants and specifications

The VinFast VF 7 is offered in two primary trims: a front-wheel-drive (FWD) variant with a single electric motor, and an all-wheel-drive (AWD) version with dual motors. Both variants are powered by a Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery, with capacity slightly varying by market.[14][15][16]
