Vietnamese electric vehicle manufacturer VinFast brought its VF 7 and VF 6 electric SUVs to Pune this past weekend, marking the first time these models were showcased in the city. The display took place at Phoenix Mall, Viman Nagar, as part of the company’s multi-city roadshow across India.

The initiative is part of VinFast’s wider outreach across 11 states and cities, aiming to introduce its premium EV offerings to a broader audience following their debut at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo earlier this year. The VF 7 and VF 6 had already been showcased in cities including Chennai, Hyderabad, Thiruvananthapuram, Vijayawada, and Bangalore before arriving in Pune.

Starting June 21, VinFast began displaying its vehicles at prominent shopping centers to offer visitors a closer look at the company’s design approach, technology, and features. These public showcases are designed to engage with local communities, especially those interested in clean energy and advanced mobility solutions.

In Pune, the company aimed to connect with the city’s forward-thinking residents and growing EV enthusiast base by offering an interactive experience with its electric SUVs. The VF 7 and VF 6 feature distinctive styling, panoramic sunroofs, driver-focused cabins with large touchscreens, and a suite of advanced safety and driver assistance technologies.

“This series of showcases builds on the strong response we received at the Bharat Mobility Expo,” said Pham Sanh Chau, CEO of VinFast Asia. “By bringing our vehicles directly to Indian cities, we hope to offer consumers firsthand experience of what VinFast represents in terms of design, innovation, and commitment to sustainable transport.”

The VF 7 incorporates an “Asymmetric Aerospace” design, while the VF 6 follows a theme of “Dualities in Nature.” Both SUVs sport VinFast’s signature V-shaped LED lighting, spacious interiors, and are designed to appeal to younger buyers looking for a premium electric vehicle with modern features and eco-conscious engineering.

VinFast’s plans in India go beyond showcasing products. The company is actively building its electric vehicle ecosystem, modeled after its success in Vietnam. Key developments include a new manufacturing facility in Tamil Nadu, a growing dealership network, and service partnerships such as the one with Global Assure to ensure nationwide customer support.

These city-wise events form a core part of VinFast’s introduction strategy, offering not just a glimpse of new models, but also an opportunity to connect with its broader vision of cleaner mobility for India’s future.

VinFast, part of Vietnam’s Vingroup JSC, specializes in electric vehicles including SUVs, scooters, and buses. The company is currently expanding its global footprint with a focus on key markets in North America, Europe, and Asia, supported by increasing production capacity and distribution networks.
