VinFast VF5, VF e34 e-SUV India Launch Soon?

VinFast has been grabbing the headlines for its biggest local manufacturing unit in Tamil Nadu. And now, the company is likely to soon commence EV sales in India with two of its popular models from the international markets. The VF 5 and the VF e34 EV’s are said to be the first EV models that will be debuting in India.

VinFast is said to be utilizing the newly announced EV policies by the Indian government to its advantage to foray in the highly competitive and growing EV market. Both the VF 5 and the VF e34 EV’s are expected to be introduced by 2025 in the country. However, VinFast would likely bring both these models via the CBU route, as per the online reports. The local production for VinFast EV’s might take a while to start.

Now, considering CBU imported four wheelers have a higher price range, the same comes as a concern for interested buyers. But, words doing rounds that both VinFast VF 5 and the VF e34 would rather be priced aggressively to beat the heat from the rivals. But this will only be confirmed once these EVs hit the shelves in the Indian market.

The VF 5 e-SUV is backed by a 37.24 kWh battery pack with which it offers around 326 km range per charge. In India, the VinFast VF 5 is expected to go up against the popular contenders including the Nexon.ev and the Mahindra XUV400 Electric. This suggests its pricing could start under Rs. 20 lakh.

However, the steering wheel seems to be missing out on the Hyundai’s “H” badging which is replaced with a big circular chrome strip housing an additional vertical chrome strip at its center. We could also see the physical controls mounted on the steering wheel for media playback and other controls. The material including plastic used for the dashboard also appears to be the same as the Creta ICE variant.

Moving ahead, the new spy shots of the Creta EV’s cabin has revealed a drive selector positioned on the right edge of the steering wheel. This is unlike the eVX which was recently snapped with a central dial selector. The dashboard will have an integrated infotainment screen and digital driver display. This setup is also borrowed from the ICE model.

The Hyundai Creta electric variant will sport dual-tone interiors, ventilated seats, and electronically adjustable driver seat. Sound system integrated is unknown, but the EV could come with a high-end music system and the same high-tech features as the ICE model. Some of them are rear parking camera and sensor, anti theft alarm, and TPMS (tyre pressure monitoring system).
