Vietnamese battery electric vehicle (BEV) manufacturer VinFast Auto launched its new VF MPV7, a 7-seater people carrier “designed to meet family needs,” featuring a “spacious interior, advanced smart technologies, and premium safety standards.” The automaker pointed out that the VF MPV7 is an upmarket version of the Limo Green, Vietnam’s best-selling vehicle model launched last year and used extensively for taxi and shuttle services.
VinFast said that the VF MPV7 was designed based on the “golden ratio” of MPVs, with wheels pushed toward the corners to maximize cabin space. It comes with electric adjustable and foldable side mirrors with integrated turn signals and 19-inch spoked alloy wheels, while the interior features a 10-inch infotainment display.
The vehicle is powered by an electric motor delivering a maximum output of 150 kW (201 hp) and peak torque of 280 Nm. Power is supplied by a 60 kWh battery pack, providing a driving range of up to 450 km on a full charge. The VF MPV7 supports advanced fast-charging, allowing the battery to be charged from 10% to 70% in 30 minutes.
Among the smart features, the VF MPV7 has an intelligent virtual assistant with Vietnamese voice interaction, and a mobile app for remote vehicle monitoring and tracking. It also comes with a range of active and passive safety features such as rear parking assistance, rearview camera, and cruise control.
The VF MPV7 is priced at VND 819 million ($31,200) and comes with a 7-year/160,000 km warranty, and an 8-year/160,000-km battery warranty. Deliveries to customers are scheduled to begin in February.
