The company aims to start with 50,000 units.
The Winfast VF8 and VF9 models will also launch in India.
New Delhi. Vietnam's car manufacturer Vinfast Vinfast entered the Indian market in Auto Expo 2025 (Auto Expo 2025) held last month. The company showcased almost the entire lineup of its global products at the Auto Expo of India at the expo. The company is now ready for its first official launch in India.
Despite the recent floods, along with the construction of the Tamil Nadu plant on time, the company is aiming to launch the Vinfast VF7 SUV in the festive season, and the next year more affordable models will also introduce in the Indian market. The company plans to start in the Indian market with a complete knocked down (CKD) and 50,000-unit capacity, which will increase to 150,000 units, as well as its portfolio with the top-down strategy from premium to mass-market segment. Will expand
Vinfast has confirmed that its first model for India will be VF7 which will be launched around the Festin season i.e. Diwali. Winfast has large and more premium models such as VF8 and VF9 that make good sales in markets like North America and Middle East. The company can also launch them in India after VF7. Talking to Autocar India, Fam Sanh Chow, MD and CEO of the company's Asia Region, said, “We VF7 is the first place as a premium model in the mid-segment. Will keep it For India, we have tried to bring the top model to the mid-premium range, as our target is a high-level customer in the middle class. After that we will launch VF6 and then next year we will come to VF3, ”
In a difficult market like India, if the company wants to make a strong base, then it will be very important to create a favorable brand image. Someone can have products, but without correct communication and network, it would be very difficult to make their mark (for example take citroen). In this regard, Winfast is expected to benefit from the brand image of his parent company Winggroup.

The Hyundai Creta EV is one of the most awaited electric cars in India and is expected to debut at the 2025 India Mobility Expo in January next year.
The Hyundai Creta EV is one of the most awaited electric cars in India, and is expected to make its debut at the India Mobility Expo in January next year. Hyundai has already introduced the Kona Electric and Ioniq 5 electric cars in India. However, the Kona Electric could not achieve the desired sales numbers, while the Ioniq 5, being a premium offering, also did not bring in much numbers for the automaker. In this situation, the Hyundai Creta EV could be a crowd puller for the South Korean auto major.
The Hyundai Creta has been one of the most successful SUVs ever since it was launched in India. The automaker aims to capitalise on this successful SUV by bringing the electric Creta. Since the automaker is currently working on the Creta EV, here are some key details of the upcoming electric SUV.

Hyundai Creta EV: Design and platform
The Hyundai Creta EV will be built on a modified version of the K2 architecture. Interestingly, the current ICE-powered Hyundai Creta is based on the K2 platform. Taking inspiration from the design philosophy of the Hyundai Kona Electric, it can be expected that the upcoming Hyundai Creta EV will share a wide range of design elements with its ICE sibling. However, it will also have a fair number of distinctive styling bits.

The Hyundai Creta EV will ditch the traditional front radiator grille in favour of a closed panel. There will be aero-alloy wheels to enhance aerodynamic efficiency, which plays a key role in ensuring optimum range for electric vehicles. Expect some distinctive EV-specific styling themes as well.

Hyundai Creta EV: Interior and Features
Given that Hyundai will position the Creta EV as an upmarket offering, the electric SUV will come with an interior that will carry the same vibe as the current ICE-propelled Creta. However, just like the exterior, it will have EV-specific styling features. The Hyundai Creta EV is expected to get a dual-screen setup combining a touchscreen infotainment system and instrument cluster. Other features will include a 360-degree surround view camera and a Level 2 ADAS suite.
Hyundai Creta EV: Powertrain
There is very little information about the powertrain and specifications of the upcoming Hyundai Creta EV at the moment. However, it is expected that the upcoming Creta EV will be available in two different battery pack options. Also, it will offer a range of up to 500 km on a single charge.
Launched in early August 2024, the Tata Curve EV is available with two battery pack options – a 45 kWh unit and a 55 kWh unit, promising a range of 502 km and 585 km, respectively. The Hyundai Creta EV is also expected to match these figures.
