New Practical 7-seater Launched! » MotorOctane

VinFast has brought in 2 electric SUVs to India, and now, the brand has launched its first-ever 7-seater for the Indian market. Witnessing the demand for the Kia Carens Clavis EV, we believe that VinFast wanted a piece of this cake too. And now, the MPV7 has been launched at a starting price of Rs 25.89 lakh (on-road Mumbai). It is available in single variants. Vinfast is only offering the 7-seater option. That said, let’s take a look at what this MPV has to offer!

What Is The VinFast VF MPV 7? – Vinfast MPV7 Launched

The VF MPV 7 is based on the Limo Green, a commercial people-mover that has already proven itself as Vietnam’s top-selling MPV. What makes it even more noteworthy is VinFast’s bold move to offer free EV charging for both existing and new customers, now extended until March 31, 2029. This initiative significantly reduces running costs to almost zero, making it especially beneficial for fleet operators and high-usage buyers.

Design

The VF MPV 7 does not try too hard. The exterior is clean and confident, exactly what a family car should look like. Up front, VinFast’s signature V-shaped LED daytime running lights frame the brand logo, giving it an immediately recognisable face. Split LED headlamps sit at the outer edges of the fascia, adding a premium touch. On the sides, 19-inch aerodynamic alloy wheels fill out the wheel arches well. The overall stance is tall, upright, and purposeful, built to carry people comfortably, not to win beauty contests.

With rear seats folded, the boot can expand to an enormous 1,240 litres. This is a car that genuinely works for large Indian families.

Interior

Inside, the VF MPV 7 keeps things clean and well thought out. A 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system does double duty, handling Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and also serving as the instrument cluster. Dark brown and black leatherette upholstery gives the cabin a smart, composed look. All three rows have dedicated air-conditioning vents, which, in India’s climate, are not a luxury but a necessity. The D-cut steering wheel with multifunction controls, two USB ports (Type-A and Type-C), and automatic climate control and Vivi AI-powered personal assistance.

Performance And Range – Vinfast MPV7 Launched

Under the hood, or rather, under the floor, sits a 60.13 kWh battery pack powering a front-mounted electric motor rated at 201 hp and 280 Nm of torque. The India-spec VF MPV 7 is claimed to offer a range of over 517 km on a single charge, which, if true, would make it among the longest-range electric MPVs in the country. The 0 to 100 kmph sprint is dispatched in under 9 seconds, genuinely impressive for a heavy, seven-seat family car. Three drive modes, Eco, Normal, and Sport, let you change according to your mood. Fast charging at up to 80 kW DC means the battery goes from 10 to 70 per cent in just 30 minutes.
