Overview
The VinFast VF MPV 7 is presented as a family‑oriented seven‑seat MPV that integrates smartphone connectivity to act as a trip coordinator before, during and after a journey. Through the VinFast smartphone application, owners can remotely check the vehicle’s exact location, current battery charge level, and receive real‑time notifications concerning vehicle operation, intrusion alerts and pending software updates. This remote visibility assists users in locating the car in large parking areas such as apartment complexes, airport lots or shopping centres, and enables them to decide whether a charging stop is required before departure.
Connected‑Car Features
The vehicle is equipped with on‑board diagnostics and Firmware‑Over‑The‑Air (FOTA) technology, allowing software updates to be delivered wirelessly without the need for a service‑centre visit, mirroring the background update experience common to smartphones. The connected‑car system remains active while the car is parked, continuously relaying status information to the owner’s phone.
In‑Cabin Technology
Inside the cabin, a 10.1‑inch infotainment display serves as the central hub for entertainment and vehicle controls. Wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are supported, enabling seamless smartphone integration for both iOS and Android users. The gear selector is relocated to the steering column, creating a cleaner central console layout and providing a more open cabin space. Additionally, a built‑in virtual assistant offers voice‑controlled vehicle functions, allowing drivers to operate certain features without taking their hands off the wheel, thereby helping maintain road focus.
Design Intent
VinFast emphasizes that these combined digital conveniences—pre‑trip phone checks, continuous vehicle connectivity, and intuitive in‑car controls—are intended to simplify everyday family travel, reducing the need for unplanned stops and streamlining the overall journey experience.
