VinFast VF6 Earth SUV Launch in India
VinFast, a subsidiary of Vietnam’s Vingroup JSC and listed on NASDAQ under the ticker VFS, announced the Indian launch of its VF6 Earth electric SUV priced below Rs 20 lakh. The vehicle is positioned as an entry‑level family electric SUV and has secured a five‑star Bharat New Car Assessment Programme (NCAP) rating for both adult and child occupant protection, with seven airbags provided as standard equipment.
Comprehensive Safety Suite
All safety‑critical systems are standard on the VF6 Earth. The suite comprises electronic stability control (ESC) that can brake individual wheels to maintain vehicle trajectory, anti‑lock braking system (ABS), electronic brake‑force distribution (EBD), brake assist (BA), and traction control (TCS) to curb wheel‑spin on slippery surfaces. Hill‑start assist holds brake pressure on inclines, while auto‑hold maintains the vehicle stationary after a stop, easing stop‑and‑go traffic. Additional driver‑aid features include blind‑spot detection, a 360‑degree rear‑view camera, and front/rear parking sensors to aid maneuvering in tight urban spaces.
Dimensions and Practicality
The VF6 Earth measures 4,241 mm in overall length with a 2,730 mm wheelbase, delivering sufficient cabin space for a family of five while remaining compact enough for congested Indian streets and narrow parking spots.
Ownership Benefits and Warranty
VinFast is offering complimentary charging at eligible V‑Green charging stations until 31 March 2029. Buyers also receive free maintenance for three years or up to 36,000 km, whichever occurs first. The vehicle warranty extends to seven years or 160,000 km, and the battery warranty covers ten years or 200,000 km, again whichever limit is reached first.
