VinFast VF 7 Has 3 Tricks to Beat India’s Heat: All You Need to Know

VinFast has equipped the VinFast VF 7 with several features aimed at making family travel easier in India. The Indian spec electric SUV can cool its cabin remotely before passengers enter the car.

It also offers ventilated seats, dual zone AC and air filtration, depending on the variant. These features target a common problem for Indian buyers: entering a car that has been parked under the sun.

The VF 7 also offers quiet electric driving and charging support for longer trips. It is priced between Rs 22.99 lakh and Rs 28.09 lakh (ex showroom). 

Remote AC Helps Beat the Heat

The VF 7 lets users control the HVAC system remotely through a smartphone app. Owners can switch on the AC 10-20 minutes before leaving.

This means the cabin can start cooling while the car remains parked. It reduces the need to wait inside a hot cabin after entering.

Depending on the variant, buyers also get:

• Ventilated front seats
• Dual zone automatic AC
• Air ionizer
• PM1.0 filtration

These features can make daily commuting more comfortable, especially during hot Indian summers.

Spacious and Quiet Cabin

The Vinfast car gets a 2,840 mm wheelbase, which creates more room inside the cabin. Its flat floor also gives rear passengers more space.

This can benefit families during longer highway trips. Children can stretch out more easily, while adults get additional room to find a comfortable seating position.

The electric powertrain also keeps the cabin quieter than a conventional petrol or diesel vehicle. Less engine noise and vibration can make long drives more relaxed.

Fast Charging

The VF 7 supports DC fast charging, with 10-70% charging taking around 26-28 minutes. Charging time depends on the Indian variant and conditions.

VinFast currently offers free charging at V Green stations until March 31, 2029. This can help eligible owners reduce energy costs during long distance travel.

The VF 7 also offers a range of up to 496 km, depending on the Indian variant. Free scheduled maintenance is available for three years or 36,000 km.

How Does It Compare?

The VF 7 combines cabin space, comfort and EV running benefits in a family focused package. Buyers may also compare it with electric SUVs such as the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6.

Higher variants get features such as a head up display, 360 degree monitoring and advanced driver assistance systems. Eligible customers switching from an internal combustion vehicle can also receive Rs 1.75 lakh to Rs 2.14 lakh in support.

Overall, the VF 7 focuses on reducing common road trip hassles, from a hot cabin to charging and maintenance costs.

Buyers weighing premium SUV options beyond EVs can also track the Audi Q3 with bookings now open ahead of its October launch.
