Overview
- VinFast introduced the seven‑seat VF MPV 7 on Wednesday as a single, well‑equipped variant, with bookings open for ₹21,000 and deliveries reported to begin soon.
- The MPV uses a 60.13 kWh battery and a front motor rated at about 204 hp and 280 Nm, claims a sub‑9 second 0–100 km/h run, and supports 80 kW DC fast charging from 10% to 70% in roughly 30 minutes.
- An ownership bundle includes free charging on the V‑Green network until March 31, 2029, a 7‑year vehicle warranty, a 10‑year battery warranty, 3 years of free maintenance, a ₹2 lakh exchange incentive, and a 75% buyback promise.
- The model is aimed at families and fleets under a dual identity (VF MPV 7 for private buyers and Limo Green for operators), and it competes with the Kia Carens Clavis EV and BYD eMax 7 while prioritizing space and range over extras like a sunroof, 360‑camera, or ADAS.
- CNBCTV18 reports CKD assembly in Thoothukudi and earlier coverage highlights a charging push with HPCL, moves that could lower costs and make longer trips more practical for households and ride‑hailing fleets.
