VinFast’s India debut is gathering serious momentum. After rolling out its VF 6 and VF 7 electric SUVs, the Vietnamese EV maker is gearing up for its next big launch—a 7-seater all-electric MPV named the VinFast Limo Green. The company has now confirmed a February 2026 timeline for the launch, making it VinFast’s third EV for India and its first people-mover designed for large families and fleet operators alike.
With a production base already established in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu, VinFast is clearly betting big on India as both a domestic and export hub. The facility, which boasts an annual capacity of 50,000 units, will produce the entire range for the Indian market.
The New Entrant in India’s Electric MPV Space
VinFast isn’t wasting time after its SUV duo—the Limo Green is set to tap into a market space that’s still wide open in India: the electric 7-seater MPV segment.
Pham Sanh Chau, CEO of VinFast Asia, recently confirmed,
“The Limo Green will be our next launch for India, slated for February. It represents our vision of accessible, premium green mobility designed for Indian families and ride-share operators.”
The name “Limo Green” isn’t a coincidence—it’s inspired by the brand’s Green and Smart Mobility (GSM) initiative, under which VinFast plans to roll out electric ride-hailing and rental services across Asia.
In India, the MPV will compete directly with upcoming rivals like the Kia Carens EV (Clavis EV) and BYD eMAX 7, targeting both family buyers and commercial fleet operators looking for zero-emission mobility.
Dimensions and Design: Space with Style
From the spy shots and patent filings, the Limo Green appears to be designed for maximum utility without losing that modern EV flair.
The MPV measures 4.74 meters in length and rides on a 2,840 mm wheelbase, which should translate into ample legroom and a generous third row—something rare in electric cars today.
Up front, the Limo Green wears a clean, aerodynamic nose with sleek LED headlamps, a closed-off grille, and VinFast’s signature V-shaped LED DRL pattern. Body cladding and a long glass area add to its presence, while large aero-style alloy wheels and a high roofline make it look more like a futuristic family shuttle than a corporate van.
The tailgate design is upright, with full-width LED taillamps and a subtle chrome strip—a minimalistic but premium approach that aligns with the brand’s European design cues.
Interior and Features: Functional Yet Premium
Inside, the Limo Green is expected to focus on comfort, flexibility, and tech—a combination aimed at both families and business buyers.
The cabin will feature a three-row layout, flexible folding seats, and ample storage spaces. The dashboard design will be clean and minimal, dominated by a 10.2-inch infotainment touchscreen with connected car tech and smartphone integration.
Feature highlights expected include:
- 360-degree camera system
- Digital instrument cluster
- Automatic climate control
- Wireless charging
- Telematics and OTA updates
- Keyless entry & push-button start
- Ambient lighting
- Multiple drive modes
- Smart connectivity for GSM fleet operations
VinFast is also likely to include AI-based voice assistance, similar to what’s offered in the VF 7 SUV.
Powertrain, Range, and Charging
Under the floor sits a 60.1 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, powering a single front-mounted electric motor.
| Specification | VinFast Limo Green |
|---|---|
| Battery Capacity | 60.1 kWh |
| Power Output | 201 bhp |
| Peak Torque | 280 Nm |
| Drivetrain | Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) |
| Claimed Range | ~450 km |
| Fast Charging | 10–70% in 30 minutes |
A 450 km range puts it right on par with the MG ZS EV and ahead of some of its MPV competitors. The fast-charging system, compatible with most 100–150 kW DC chargers, can juice up the battery from 10% to 70% in just 30 minutes—crucial for fleet uptime.
The setup is expected to offer brisk acceleration and refined performance typical of electric drivetrains, with a focus on smooth torque delivery and low NVH (noise, vibration, harshness).
Market Strategy: India as a Core Hub
VinFast’s game plan for India goes beyond vehicle launches. With Tamil Nadu as its operational base, the company aims to localize production, build supplier networks, and export EVs to right-hand-drive markets like Thailand, Indonesia, and Australia.
The automaker is also gearing up to launch its electric scooter lineup and introduce the Green and Smart Mobility (GSM) ride-hailing platform in key Indian cities by late 2026—further embedding its ecosystem into daily urban commutes.
Rivals and Expected Pricing
When launched, the Limo Green will stand against other upcoming electric MPVs in India:
| Model | Range | Seating | Expected Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| VinFast Limo Green | 450 km | 7-seater | ₹28–32 lakh |
| Kia Carens EV (Clavis EV) | 430–450 km | 7-seater | ₹30–35 lakh |
| BYD eMAX 7 | 480 km | 7-seater | ₹35–38 lakh |
VinFast’s competitive pricing—helped by local production—could give it a crucial advantage, especially in fleet and family categories looking for affordable long-range EVs.
What to Expect Next
VinFast is expected to officially unveil the Limo Green in January 2026, followed by a market launch in February 2026. Bookings could open by mid-January, with deliveries beginning soon after.
Given the brand’s aggressive expansion strategy, the Limo Green might be just the first of several people-movers VinFast plans for India, positioning itself as a key player not only in EV retail but also in shared mobility.
