Vinfast VF6 and VF7 Launch Date: India’s New EVs Arrive September 6
India’s electric vehicle market is about to get turbocharged. VinFast—the ambitious Vietnamese automaker—is officially launching its VF6 and VF7 electric SUVs on September 6, 2025.
For those who spotted the duo at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo or did a double-take at one of VinFast’s smart new dealerships, the countdown is almost over.
Bookings are already open online and at VinFast showrooms, and EV fans are itching to get a first look as deliveries are set to follow soon after the launch.
Vinfast VF6 and VF7 Launch Date
The launch event is locked in for September 6, 2025. After strong previews earlier this year and plenty of online buzz, VinFast’s first two models for India—the VF6 and VF7—will officially roll onto the scene.
The cars will be locally assembled at VinFast’s new plant in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu, putting the brand shoulder-to-shoulder with giants like Tata, Hyundai, and BYD.
Industry insiders expect pricing to be competitive, as VinFast aims to undercut rivals and get noticed by smart city buyers as well as adventure seekers.
Expanding VinFast’s Footprint in India
VinFast is rolling out a network fast enough to keep pace with the cars on offer: 35 dealerships in 27 cities, targeting both metropolitan hubs and emerging EV markets.
Recent months have seen new showrooms in places like Chennai, and buyers in cities ranging from Delhi to Kozhikode, Chandigarh to Bhubaneswar, will find it easy to book, browse, or simply try out the new EVs.
VinFast isn’t just setting up for the VF6 and VF7—it’s building the infrastructure for service, spares, and support, signaling a long-term commitment to the Indian market.
Bookings for both SUVs started in July for a refundable amount of ₹21,000, and early interest points to brisk sales once the doors officially open.
