Vietnamese automaker VinFast has officially revealed the variant and colour details for its much-anticipated VF 6 and VF 7 electric SUVs ahead of their launch in the Indian market. The announcement comes as the company begins accepting pre-bookings and ramps up production at its new facility in Tamil Nadu.
The VinFast VF 7 will be available in three variants: Earth, Wind, and Sky. Following the VF 7, the smaller VF 6 will be offered in two trims: Earth and Wind. This strategy gives buyers distinct choices as VinFast prepares to enter India’s competitive EV space.
Shared Colour Palette
Both the VF 6 and VF 7 will share a common palette of six exterior colour options, available across all variants. This allows for personalization regardless of the chosen trim level.
Distinctive Interior Themes
While the exterior colours are shared, the interior themes will differ based on the variant. The base Earth variants of both the VF 6 and VF 7 will feature an all-black theme.
Higher-spec models get a more premium touch. The VF 6 Wind variant will come with a Mocca Brown and black interior, while the VF 7’s Wind and Sky variants will feature a similar Mocha Brown and black dual-tone theme.
