The VinFast VF7: Features, Range & Why It’s The Ultimate Premium SUV
There are electric cars you buy to save money on fuel. And then, there are electric cars you buy because you simply want them.
The VinFast VF7 belongs firmly in the second category.
While its younger sibling, the VF6, is the practical champion of city streets, the VF7 is something else entirely. It’s wider, lower, and more aggressive. When you pull up to a signal in Teynampet or Race Course in Coimbatore, this is the car that makes auto-rickshaw drivers ask, "Sir, what car is this?"
At Maansarovar VinFast, we call it our "Highway Beast." Here is a deep dive into the features and specs that make the VF7 a true premium contender in 2026.

Design: Italian Art on Chennai Roads
Most SUVs today look the same—boxy and safe. The VF7 breaks that mold.
Designed by the famous Italian house Torino Design, the VF7 features what VinFast calls the "Asymmetric Aerospace" wing design.
** The Front:** The signature V-shaped LED light bar cuts through the night. It’s unmistakable on the OMR stretch.
The Profile: ...
... Flush door handles that pop out automatically and massive 20-inch alloy wheels give it a stance that looks fast even when parked.
The Rear: A sloping coupe-like roofline that doesn’t compromise headroom but adds serious style points.

Performance: 0-100 in "Hold On Tight"
The VF7 isn't just about looks. It has the muscle to back it up.
If you opt for the AWD (All-Wheel Drive) version, you are looking at dual motors that deliver sports car performance.
Power: Up to ~348 HP (260 kW)
Torque: 500 Nm (Instant torque—no lag)
0-100 km/h: ~5.8 seconds
Why this matters in TN:
You might not be drag racing, but that torque is essential when you are climbing the hairpin bends to Ooty or Kodaikanal. The VF7 doesn’t gasp for air like petrol cars at high altitudes; it just climbs effortlessly.

The Range Reality: Chennai to Trichy? No Problem.
"Range anxiety" is the ghost of 2020. With the VF7, it’s time to move on.
Battery Pack: A massive 75.3 kWh Liquid-Cooled LFP Battery.
Claimed Range (WLTP): Up to 450 km - 532 km (depending on the variant).
Real World Context:
Let’s talk real roads, AC on 24/7, and music playing.
Chennai to Pondicherry (150 km): You can go and come back on a single charge with juice to spare.
Coimbatore to Cochin (190 km): Easy. One charge gets you there with 40% battery left for city driving.
And when you do need to charge? It supports fast charging (10% to 70% in under 30 minutes). By the time you finish your filter coffee break on the highway, the car is ready to go another 300km.
Interior & Tech: The "Glass House" Effect
Step inside, and the first thing you notice is the sky.
The VF7 features a massive Panoramic Glass Roof that stretches from the front seats to the back.
Concerned about the Chennai heat? Don't be. The glass is treated with high-grade UV and infrared coatings to keep the cabin cool, even in May.
The Tech Stack:
12.9-inch Touchscreen: It controls everything. Maps, music, AC, and drive modes.
HUD (Heads-Up Display): Who needs a dashboard? Speed and navigation are projected right onto the windshield so you never take your eyes off the road.
Smart Voice Assistant: Just say "Hey VinFast, open the sunroof" or "Set temp to 22 degrees."
Safety: 5-Star Peace of Mind
Indian highways can be unpredictable. The VF7 comes equipped with Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) to watch your back.
Adaptive Cruise Control: Perfect for the ECR runs. The car maintains speed and distance automatically.
Lane Keep Assist: Gently nudges you back if you drift (useful on those long, sleepy drives).
360-Degree Camera: A blessing when trying to park a wide SUV in tight T. Nagar spots.

The Verdict: Is It Worth the Premium?
If you just want to get from Point A to Point B, the VF6 is fantastic.
But if you want a car that makes you look for excuses to drive—one that handles ECR curves like a sedan and swallows luggage like an SUV—the VF7 is the upgrade you deserve.
See it to believe it.
The panoramic roof looks good in photos, but it’s breathtaking in person. Visit our Maansarovar Experience Center in OMR or Teynampet this week.
