VinFast, Vietnam’s ambitious EV maker, has officially stepped into the Indian market with the launch of its midsize electric SUV, the VF6. Priced competitively, the VF6 takes on well-known rivals such as the Hyundai Creta Electric, MG ZS EV, Tata Curvv EV, and Mahindra BE 6.
With bookings already underway since mid-July for a token amount of Rs 21,000, the VF6 promises to shake up the EV space in India.
Price
VinFast is assembling the VF6 locally in Tamil Nadu, which has allowed the brand to offer attractive pricing. The SUV is available in three trims, starting at Rs 16.49 lakh and going up to Rs 18.29 lakh.
| Variant | Price (Rs, lakh) |
