VinFast officially launched the VF6 electric SUV in India on September 6, 2025. On the same day, it also launched the larger VF7. VF6 is locally assembled in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu. This is VinFast’s move into the premium EV segment in India.
The VF6 aims to offer a city-friendly size with a good range and strong features. It competes with EVs like Tata Curvv, Hyundai Creta Electric, and MG ZS EV. With battery tech, modern comfort, and local support, VF6 is expected to attract buyers seeking a stylish EV without going out of budget.

What Buyers Should Know
With this launch, VF6 gives strong value for money. It has aggressive pricing for its class and high features, which should appeal to EV enthusiasts and first-time EV buyers. Local assembly also means better service, maintenance, and possibly support infrastructure.
India’s government offers a low GST rate for electric vehicles at 5%, which helps reduce the cost of VF6 compared to petrol and diesel SUVs with higher taxes. So, ownership cost may be lower. Also, being newly launched, warranty and service offerings tend to be generous from VinFast.
