VinFast is gearing up to launch its third electric car in India. After launching the VF6 and VF7 electric SUVs in India, the Vietnamese carmaker is now gearing up to launch the VinFast VF MPV 7, a three-row, seven-seater electric MPV. Slated to launch on April 15, the VinFast VF MPV 7 aims to ramp up the automaker's market share and sales in the country. Upon launch, the VinFast VF MPV 7 will directly challenge rivals like the BYD eMax 7 and Kia Carens Clavis EV.
