VinFast VF MPV 7 Enters India’s 3-Row EV Fray With Space-and-Range Pitch

Reviews frame it as a space-first, long-range option that trades off richer features.

Overview

  • VinFast has rolled out the VF MPV 7 in India at Rs 24.49 lakh in a single fully loaded trim with free maintenance, long warranties, and complimentary charging through March 2029.
  • The VF MPV 7 uses a 60.13 kWh battery with a claimed 517 km range, and CarWale lists output at 201 bhp and 280 Nm.
  • It is the segment’s wheelbase leader at 2,840 mm, which reviewers say helps second- and third-row legroom.
  • Kia’s Carens Clavis EV counters with two battery choices, nine variants, and a feature-rich cabin that includes items like ventilated seats and a Bose audio system, priced from Rs 17.99 lakh to Rs 24.99 lakh.
  • Mahindra’s XEV 9S is tagged the range leader with up to a claimed 679 km and lower entry pricing, while reviewers note VinFast’s perks may appeal more to high-mileage users than typical private buyers.
