VinFast Limo Green Electric 7-Seater Spotted Testing in India

Local assembly at VinFast’s Thoothukudi plant is expected.

Overview

  • A camouflaged test mule photographed on Indian roads confirms on‑ground validation soon after the model’s design patent filings.
  • The prototype matches the Vietnam‑spec three‑row configuration, measuring roughly 4.7–4.74 metres in length with a 2.8‑metre wheelbase for space‑focused packaging.
  • Reported mechanicals include a ~60.1 kWh battery and a 150 kW motor driving the front wheels, with a manufacturer‑claimed range of about 450 km.
  • Charging from 10% to 70% in around 30 minutes via an 80 kW DC fast charger has been reported, along with features such as a 10.1‑inch infotainment display and a 360‑degree camera.
  • If introduced, the eMPV would compete with the Kia Carens Clavis EV and BYD eMAX 7, while India pricing and a launch date have not been announced.
