1 Design

The VinFast VF 7 boasts a sleek and contemporary design that sets it apart in the crowded SUV market. It is a five-seater vehicle ensuring ample space for passengers and luggage.

Both the interior and futuristic exterior design make it a visually appealing option for Indian buyers looking for a blend of aesthetics and functionality.
