The Vinfast VF MPV 7 Arrives: A New Powerhouse for the Family EV Segment

The electric vehicle market just got a lot more interesting. Vinfast has officially launched the VF MPV 7, and at a starting price of Rs. 24.49 lakh (ex-showroom), it’s positioned to shake up the seven-seater segment. If you’ve been waiting for a practical family hauler that doesn’t compromise on punch or range, this might be the one to watch.

Performance That Packs a Punch

Under the floor lies a 60.13kWh battery pack that powers a motor capable of churning out 201bhp and 280Nm of torque. This isn’t just a slow-moving commuter; it’s built to handle a full house of passengers with ease. Drivers can toggle between three distinct modes—Eco, Normal, and Sport—depending on whether they want to prioritize efficiency or engagement. Plus, with four levels of regenerative braking (ranging from ‘Off’ to ‘High’), you can customize exactly how the car handles energy recovery on the fly.

Go Further, Charge Less

Range anxiety is often the biggest hurdle for family road trips, but the VF MPV 7 brings a solid answer to the table. With an ARAI-claimed range of 517km on a single charge, it’s built for more than just the daily school run. That kind of mileage puts it comfortably ahead of many competitors in its price bracket, making those long weekend getaways a lot more feasible.

Comfort in Every Row

Inside, it’s clear that Vinfast focused on the ‘passenger experience.’ It’s not just the driver who gets the perks; the cabin features premium leatherette upholstery and a thoughtful layout. One of the standout features is the theatre-style seating, which ensures everyone has a great view of the road ahead. To keep things cool, Vinfast included dedicated AC vents for all three rows, so nobody is left sweating in the back during the summer heat. It’s a well-rounded, tech-forward package for anyone looking to make the switch to electric without leaving the family behind.
