The VinFast VF 7 is an electric compact crossover SUV (C-segment) manufactured and marketed by VinFast of Vingroup.
The VF 7 was first introduced to the public in January 2022 along with the VF 5 and VF 6 at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). [2] [3] It was designed by Lee Jae Hoon, a senior exterior designer for General Motors. [4] VinFast launched a pre-order campaign for the VF 7 from 2-30 December 2022 in the local Vietnamese market, [5] with the first deliveries to domestic customers on March 30, 2024. [6]
In early 2025, VinFast announced the VF 7 as its debut model for the Indian market. The electric SUV was showcased at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo in New Delhi, alongside other upcoming models such as the VF 3 and VF 9. [7] [8] [9] The company plans to begin local assembly of the VF 7 in Tamil Nadu at a new 400-acre facility with an initial production capacity of 50,000 units per year. [10] [11]
In its home market of Vietnam, the VF 7 recorded deliveries of 773 units in May 2025. While specific year-to-date sales data for the model is limited, reports indicate that the VF 7 trails behind other VinFast models such as the VF 3 and VF 5 in domestic sales volumes. In India, the launch was postponed to mid-August 2025 due to distribution and logistical challenges. [12] [13] The company revised its annual sales target for the VF 7 to 3,000 units in India. [14]
The VF 7 is equipped with a range of features typically found in mid-size EVs in its segment. These include a 15-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a heads-up display, wireless smartphone charging, ambient lighting, leatherette upholstery, and a panoramic sunroof. [15] Safety and driver-assistance technologies include Level 2 ADAS, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, blind spot detection, and a 360-degree camera system. The vehicle comes standard with eight airbags and electronic stability control. [16] [17]
The VinFast VF 7 is offered in two primary trims: a front-wheel-drive (FWD) variant with a single electric motor, and an all-wheel-drive (AWD) version with dual motors. Both variants are powered by a Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery, with capacity slightly varying by market. [18] [19] [20]
