VinFast Limo Green 7-seater SUV spied testing in India, matching recent patent images. Key details on VF's upcoming electric SUV revealed.
The electric vehicle buzz on Indian highways just got louder. Camouflaged prototypes of the VinFast Limo Green 7-seater MPV were caught doing hot laps on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway this week, sending auto enthusiasts into a frenzy. If the grapevine is right, VinFast – the Vietnamese EV giant – is gearing up to drop its third electric offering in India sooner than anyone expected.
Back home, the Limo Green is already a fleet favorite, zipping passengers around Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City as a green taxi workhorse. Priced at roughly ₹23 lakh (converted from VND 719 million), it packs a 60.1 kWh battery, 201 bhp and 280 Nm torque front-mounted motor, and a claimed 450 km NEDC range – numbers that could make it a serious threat to the upcoming Kia Carens Clavis EV and BYD eMAX 7.
What caught our eye? The test mules wore heavy camouflage but couldn’t hide the signature LED light bar, 18-inch alloys, and that boxy-yet-aerodynamic silhouette. Insiders whisper that VinFast has already filed design patents with the Indian Patent Office in August 2025 – a classic pre-launch move.
This isn’t VinFast’s first rodeo in India. The brand made its official debut earlier this year with the compact VF6 and the SUV VF7, both targeting the premium urban buyer. While those two are still trickling into showrooms, the Limo Green seems laser-focused on large families and commercial fleets – think Uber Black, airport shuttles, or even school vans gone electric.
