If you are thinking of buying VF MPV 7 in the coming days, then this article of ours is useful for you. Let us know what is good in it and what are the shortcomings according to the Indian market.
Dimensions and Specifications
Talking about the dimensions of Vinfast VF MPV 7, it is 4740mm long, 1872mm wide and 1734mm high, while the wheelbase is 2840mm. It has a 60.13 kWh battery pack, which powers the front-wheel drive single motor (201 bhp / 280 Nm). 0-100 km/h speed is completed in just 10 seconds. The company is claiming a range of 450-500+ km (up to 400 km possible in real-world). With fast charging, 10% to 70% of the battery is charged in just 30 minutes. It has three drive modes (Eco, Normal, Sport) and several levels of regenerative braking.
Hits (What's Good)
The biggest plus point is its generous cabin space. There is comfortable space in all three rows, the third row is also quite usable for adults. The seats are soft and comfortable for long drives. The ride quality is soft, high-speed stability is good and NVH levels are low. Being an EV, the performance is smooth and predictable.
Practicality is good. Perfect for family use, long trips and everyday needs. The design is modern and clean, the connected LED lights look attractive. If priced aggressively, it could provide a good value proposition between petrol MPVs (like the Ertiga) and premium electric MPVs.
Misses (what was missing)
There is a lot of lack in features. Ventilated seats, wireless charging, ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) will not be available in it. Some hard plastics in the interior reduce the premium feel. Speed, climate control and many functions depend only on the 10.1 inch touchscreen. Rear seat cushioning may seem a bit too soft. Body roll may also appear excessive. The final India-spec of suspension and ground clearance is still undecided. Four speakers and some basic features may also be missing.
What should I buy?
If you prioritize space, practicality, good range and smooth EV driving and want value more than features, then VF MPV 7 can be a good option. Especially for families who travel long distances, the third row and cabin space will prove to be a game-changer. But if you want luxury features like ADAS, premium interior, ventilated seats, then expensive options will be better.
Success will depend on price. If VinFast offers aggressive pricing and good service network, it can become a disruptor in the MPV segment. Take a test drive after launch and decide. Overall, the basics are right, but feature gaps need filling.
