Amid Tesla Debut, VinFast Begins Bookings for VF 6 and VF 7 Electric SUVs in India

VinFast Auto India, a Vietnam-based  EV Maker, has opened pre-bookings for its electric SUV models VF 7 and VF 6 across the Indian market from 15 July 15, 2025, amid Tesla’s India debut. Customers can now reserve either model through VinFast showrooms or the official website (VinFastAuto.in) with a refundable booking amount of ₹21,000. 

As per news reports, the official launch for public sales is slated for August 2025, to follow the inauguration of VinFast’s Indian manufacturing plant in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu.

Product Features and Dealership Network

Both vehicles are engineered with Indian road conditions in mind. The VF 7 offers a spacious interior with Level 2 ADAS, a panoramic glass roof, LED lighting, a wireless charging system, and a connected infotainment suite. The VF 6, positioned for everyday family use, includes similar Level 2 ADAS, connected features, a panoramic roof, and infotainment technologies for convenience and comfort.

VinFast showcased both models earlier this year at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo, and plans to assemble the vehicles locally at its upcoming Thoothukudi facility. This plant represents a $500 million investment, with an annual production capacity of 150,000 vehicles and is expected to generate around 3,500 direct jobs. 

To support nationwide reach, VinFast has partnered with 13 dealers to open 32 outlets across 27 Indian cities, covering metros like Delhi, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Chennai, and several tier-2 cities.

Strategic and Sustainability Partnerships

To enhance after-sales services and charging infrastructure, VinFast has formed partnerships with RoadGrid, myTVS, and Global Assure, integrating AI-driven diagnostics, real-time charging, and digital platforms. 

In alignment with environmental goals, the company has also collaborated with BatX Energies, an Indian clean-tech firm focused on battery recycling, rare metal recovery, and end-of-life battery reuse, supporting a circular economy for EV batteries.
