2026 Vinfast VF6 India Review: Southeast Asian Surprise
2026 Vinfast VF6 India Review: Southeast Asian Surprise

Our brief taste of the Vinfast VF6 on a smooth, straight test track in Vietnam back in June 2025 wasn’t enough to paint a complete picture. Though early impressions were good, many questions remained, and now we get to answer many of them as we review the made-in-India EV on Indian roads.
Exterior and Design
VF6 Exterior Design and Engineering – 7/10
Curvy design is more hatchback than SUV and makes it look smaller than it is. Rising beltline, floating roof, cluttered tailgate make the rear look busy.
The design of Vinfast’s cars have gotten mixed reactions, but one thing that can’t be denied is that they’re distinctive and easily identifiable. The ‘V-Light’ LED signatures, front and rear, look like nothing else (apart from other Vinfasts) and there are some neat touches like air curtains in the front bumper.
The Wind Infinity trim on our test vehicle boasts machined 18-inch alloys that look surprisingly sporty and are deliberately designed to avoid the flat, aero-efficient look. The black cladding is also tastefully done, restricted to thin strips around the lower edges of the bodywork.

Interior Space and Comfort
VF6 Interior Space and Comfort – 6/10
Well built but looks plain; rear seat and boot space aren’t generous. High floor and low roof make you feel cooped up, but space is not bad.
The long wheelbase means rear legroom is surprisingly good, but the high ground clearance means the battery pushes up into the cabin, resulting in a high floor. What’s more, while the huge glass roof lets in a lot of light, it also heats up the cabin like a greenhouse.

Features and Safety
VF6 Features and Safety – 8/10
Gets most of the features you’d expect and is loaded with safety kit. Informative HUD is handy considering there is no driver’s display.
The 12.9-inch touchscreen is logically laid out, but feels plasticky and calls for a firm prod.

However, despite its high power output, the Vinfast VF6 feels somewhat slow to respond, and its regenerative braking could use some refinement.
