VinFast is ready with a new move in India as the brand prepares to enter the electric MPV space with two versions of the same model. The launch is set for April 15, and this will be the third product from the company after VF6 and VF7. Bookings have already started with a token amount of Rs 21,000.
This new MPV will be sold in two versions with different names. One is VF MPV 7 for private buyers. The second is Limo Green for commercial and fleet use. Both look similar in size but are made for different needs.
The main idea behind this model is clear split usage. One is for family use with more features. The other is for business use with a focus on running cost and durability.
Key points
- VF MPV 7 for private customers
- Limo Green for fleet and commercial use
- Same body size but different equipment levels
- Limo Green focuses on efficiency and lower cost
Design built for space
Design of the MPVs is very different from sporty SUVs. It is made for space and comfort.
- Boxy shape for more cabin room
- Flat roof design
- Large glass area for better visibility
- V shaped LED DRLs at front
- Split headlamp setup
- Clean front bumper design
- Straight window line on side
- Normal door handles instead of flush type
- Connected LED tail lamps at rear
- Tall and upright rear design
Size and space details
The size of VF MPV 7 and Limo Green remains identical
- Length 4740 mm
- Width 1872 mm
- Height 1728 mm
- Wheelbase 2840 mm
This helps create a roomy cabin with better third row space.
Interior
The interior setup is simple and clean in design. The private version gets more equipment.
- Large central touchscreen system
- Digital screen for driver info
- Automatic climate control
- Electronic parking brake with auto hold
- Level 2 ADAS support
- Ventilated front seats
- Powered front seats
- Multiple charging ports
The fleet version will miss some of these features and will stay more basic for cost control and daily usage.
Battery and performance
Both versions use the same electric setup.
- 60.14 kWh battery pack
- Single motor layout
- Around 201 hp power
- Around 280 Nm torque
- Claimed range close to 450 km
It also supports different drive modes and regenerative braking levels.
In India, this MPV will go against models like Kia Carens Clavis EV, BYD eMax 7 and Mahindra XEV 9S. Pricing is expected to play a big role in its position.
VinFast is also expanding its network in India with over 50 showrooms and more than 130 service centres. The new MPV adds a fresh option for both family buyers and fleet users in the EV space.
