VinFast VF 7
Autocar India says the Vinfast VF7 enters as the most powerful EV in its class, arriving with a 353hp AWD powertrain, a 510km claimed range, and a starting price just north of Rs 20 lakh, taking on larger electric SUVs like the Tata Harrier EV and Mahindra XEV 9e, looking more like a long, low-slung estate rather than a proper, upright SUV, with a spacious rear seat, strong performance, and value for money, though it lacks road presence and has no spare tyre. Top Gear Philippines says the VF7 emerged as the clear favorite among its delegates on a first drive of VinFast's Vietnam lineup, with a sleek and refined design that sets it apart from its smaller siblings, an interior with an abundance of leather materials elevating the cabin to a more premium level, and punchy dual-motor acceleration delivering the 'EV torque' the smaller models lacked, reaching speeds of up to 215kph with three passengers aboard, feeling surprisingly nimble for its size despite some noticeable body roll in corners.
