The VinFast VF 6 launched at ₹16.49 lakh
VinFast, the all-electric Vietnamese automobile manufacturer, has launched the VF 6, which boasts of features such as seven airbags, Level 2 ADAS and a panoramic glass roof.
VinFast has just launched the fully localised VF 6, which will be manufactured in their Thoothukudi plant at Tamil Nadu. The VF 6 is launched at a price of ₹16.49 lakh. Let's deep dive to find out what the VF 6 has to offer.
2025 VinFast VF 6 exterior
It features VinFast's signature 'V' shaped grille, with DRLs integrated that extend through the width of the car. At the centre, you can find the VinFast logo. Lowdown, you see a honeycomb pattern with a radar element at the centre. The car gets split headlamps sitting under the DRLs with the projector headlamps on top and the LED turn indicators under them. The side profile of the car has a curved, coupe-like appearance that is complemented well by the 18-inch wheels. The VF 6 sports 225/55 R18 tyres front and rear. The charging flap sits right above the front tyres. The rear-view mirrors have a camera on the underside as part of the 360-degree setup. The door handles get chrome embellishments above the side doors and below the roof rails for a much more pronounced side profile styling. Towards the rear, the roofline tapers rather gently, giving the VF 6 a sporty stance. At the rear, the VF 6 gets end-to-end DRL elements extending on both sides of the VinFast logo, with the actual taillights sitting just beneath it. The VinFast VF 6 has a wheelbase of 2,730 mm and a ground clearance of 190 mm and is available in six colours, Zenith Grey, Crimson Red, Jet Black Urban Mint, Desat Silver and Infinity Blanc.
2025 VinFast VF 6 interiors
The overall theme on the inside is minimalism. Almost all the controls of the car are grouped in and around the centre touchscreen, including the gear selector. The gear selector, being toggle switches inspired by a piano, has Drive, Neutral and Reverse placed horizontally in succession. It also gets an eight way powered driver seat. The Earth variant gets all black interiors, 12.9-inch infotainment screen, automatic AC and a powered driver seat. Whereas the VF 6 Wind variant gets Mocca brown interiors, vegan leather upholstery, eight-way powered driver seat adjustment and front row ventilation. It also gets dual-zone AC with air ionizer and air filtration and an eight-speaker audio system. The VF 6 Wind Infinity adds a large edge-to-edge panoramic fixed glass roof. A rather surprising omission is the lack of an instrument cluster behind the steering wheel that indicates the speed or level of charge. That would be visible via the coloured HUD projection (on the Wind variant) and on the right-hand side in the 12.9-inch, centre-mounted infotainment screen, further reducing the clutter. The AC vents are integrated into the dashboard, with a part of the vents sitting under the infotainment. Almost all other features, including adjusting the wing mirrors, are controlled via the infotainment.
2025 VinFast VF 6 powertrain
All three variants of the VF 6 get a 59.6kWh battery. It also gets fast charging that juices up the battery from 10 to 70 per cent in 25-minutes. The Earth variant makes 174bhp, 250Nm. The Wind variant makes 201bhp, and 310Nm of torque. Power figures for the Wind Infinity variant remain unchanged. The claimed 0-100kmph time is 8.9 seconds for the Wind variant. The ARAI certified range for the Earth variant is 468km and Wind is 463km, coloured HUD projection, Adaptive Cruise Control along with full ADAS Level 2 suite including front and rear auto emergency braking. The VF 6 only comes with front-wheel-drive, there is no AWD on offer.
