Vietnamese EV manufacturer VinFast is preparing for a much wider footprint in India, lining up three new electric cars for 2026. The company, which entered the market last year with the VF6 and VF7 SUVs assembled at its Tamil Nadu facility, now aims to tap into both ends of the EV spectrum: an affordable micro-EV, a compact family MPV, and a sub-4 metre offering positioned against popular Indian offerings.
Limo Green: Brand’s first three-row EV for India
VinFast will begin the year with the introduction of the Limo Green, a three-row electric MPV targeted at urban families and fleet operators. Expected to arrive in the first quarter of 2026 at an estimated Rs 18-20 lakh (ex-showroom).
A 60.1kWh battery is at the core of the model, paired with a 201bhp front-mounted motor that claims a range of around 450km. The design follows VinFast’s signature V-shaped light elements and a clean, slab-sided silhouette capped with a slightly raised roof towards the rear for improved headroom. As with the brand’s other SUVs, the MPV is expected to rely heavily on its central touchscreen, adopting a minimalist cabin while promising improved practicality. It will be the company’s first three-row product in India for both private buyers and shared-mobility fleets.
VF3: A micro-EV engineered for crowded cities
The second expected model to arrive is the VF3, which aims directly at the growing micro-EV segment. Expected in the first half of 2026 with a projected price of 8–10 lakh, the VF3 will challenge the MG Comet by offering a similar city-friendly footprint but with a noticeably higher 191mm ground clearance.
Despite its compact size, the VF3 promises surprising usability. The 18.6kWh battery is claimed to deliver over 200km on a single charge, enough for several days of office commutes, while the light body and 43.5bhp output should make short work of congested urban traffic.
VF5: A mainstream sub-4 metre electric
Alongside the Limo Green and VF3, VinFast is studying the feasibility of bringing the VF5, a compact electric offering for India.
The VF5, already on sale in Vietnam and Indonesia, is available with two battery options globally: a 29.6kWh unit paired with a 95bhp motor (268km NEDC range), and a larger 37.23kWh pack mated to a 136bhp motor (326km NEDC range). Depending on the configuration chosen for India, the VF5 could offer a compelling blend of performance and practicality.
Size-wise, the VF5 stretches 3,967mm in length, making it longer than the Punch EV despite being slightly narrower and shorter overall. Its 2,514mm wheelbase is also notably longer, which may translate to more interior room. The cabin, in international markets, features a driver-centric layout with an 8-inch touchscreen, 7-inch digital instrument cluster, leatherette upholstery, keyless entry, USB ports front and rear, and a PM2.5 air filtration system.
If VinFast launches all three models as planned, its India range will expand from two SUVs to a diverse portfolio spanning city commuters, SUVs and a family MPV. With local assembly already underway and a strong push towards affordability and practicality, the brand is positioning itself to engage directly with some of India’s fastest-growing EV segments.
