Vietnamese automaker VinFast has confirmed that it will be showcasing the VF7 – an electric SUV, at the forthcoming Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025.

Above all, it has already commenced building an electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing facility in Tamil Nadu.

VinFast VF7: Features

The VF7 boasts a range of features, such as a 12.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a heads-up display, a panoramic sunroof, and connected car tech.
