VinFast electric vehicles in India (2026)
VinFast has 2 electric cars on sale or confirmed for India, priced from ₹16.49L to ₹20.89L. This page covers the full line-up with specs, realistic range estimates and where each model fits.
How to read these numbers
Every range figure on this page is VinFast’s claimed or certified number, published as claimed. Expect roughly 72–80% of it in ordinary Indian conditions, and the lower end at highway speed with the air conditioning running — the working behind that band is set out in how we estimate real-world range, and the table below shows both figures so you can plan around the realistic one.

Which VinFast EV should you buy?
Across the VinFast range the answer turns on one number, and it is not the one most buyers start with: how far you drive on a typical day, not the longest trip you take in a year.
If your day is under 40 km and you can charge at home, the VinFast VF6 at ₹16.49 lakh is the sensible entry to the range — a realistic 337–374 km means you plug in once or twice a week and stop thinking about it. Paying for more range than that buys weight and price you will not use.
If you drive intercity often, the VinFast VF7 is the one to look at — a claimed 532 km works out near 404 km in ordinary conditions, which is the difference between planning a trip and simply making it.
For regular highway running, note that the VinFast VF7 claims about 30 minutes on a DC fast charger — a number that repeats on every trip and matters more than range once you are past about 300 km.
Whichever you lean towards, settle the charging question before the car question: whether you can put a charge point where you park changes VinFast ownership more than any specification in the table above.

The VinFast line-up at a glance
Every figure below is calculated from VinFast’s published specifications. Realistic range applies our 72–80% band; running cost assumes ₹8 a unit and about 10% charging loss.
| Model | From | Battery | Range | DC charge | Running cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| VinFast VF6 | ₹16.49 lakh | 59.6 kWh | 468 km claimed, about 356 km realistic | 35 min | about ₹1.47/km |
| VinFast VF7 | ₹20.89 lakh | 70.0 kWh | 532 km claimed, about 404 km realistic | 30 min | about ₹1.52/km |
A narrow line-up. VinFast offers 2 electric models here, so there is little room to trade one attribute for another within the brand. If none of the 2 fits your budget and your driving pattern cleanly, it is usually better to widen the search across brands than to stretch for the closest fit.
Cheapest way in is the VinFast VF6 at ₹16.49 lakh ex-showroom. Longest claimed range is the VinFast VF7 at 532 km, which works out to roughly 404 km in ordinary conditions once the 72–80% realistic band is applied. Lowest running cost in the line-up is the VinFast VF6 at about ₹1.47 per kilometre at ₹8 a unit.
Quickest to charge is the VinFast VF7, which claims about 30 minutes on a DC fast charger. If you drive highways regularly this is the number to weigh most heavily, because it repeats on every trip — see the fastest-charging EVs in India for where that sits against the wider market.
What the table cannot tell you. Three things decide whether VinFast suits you and none of them is a specification: whether there is a service centre near you that handles EVs specifically, whether the battery warranty transfers to a second owner, and whether you can install a charge point where you park. Check all three before you shortlist a VinFast on numbers alone. Our comparison tool will put any two of these against a rival from another brand, and the running-cost calculator takes your own electricity tariff rather than our assumed ₹8 a unit.
