VinFast VF 5

The VinFast VF5 will be an upcoming affordable electric vehicle from the Vietnamese brand, VinFast. This electric hatchback is expected to launch in India by mid-2026, priced around Rs 12 lakh (ex-showroom). The car is generally designed to dodge the gap between the entry-level VF3 and the top model VF6 in the Indian lineup.

Considering its dimensions, the car measures 3,967 mm in length, 1,723 mm in width, and 1,579 mm in height, with a wheelbase of about 2,514 mm. The upcoming VF5 will give tough competition to its rivals, such as the Tata Tiago EV, the Citroen eC3 and the Tata Punch EV. Let's take a tour of different specs and features that might be available with the upcoming VinFast VF5.

• In contrast with its design, the brand might offer a typical VinFast-like design with SUV-like styling elements with rugged body cladding and flared wheel arches.
• At the front the car features LED DRLs and projector headlights. While at the rear, the car is expected to feature connected LED taillights integrated along with the connected light bar running across the ends.
• While getting inside the car, the dashboard might offer an all-black dashboard with silver accents. Passengers and the driver might get leather upholstery seats along with possible ventilated seats.
• The dashboard will feature an 8-inch infotainment system, a 7-inch digital driver's display, and a 4-speaker sound system. The car might feature 17-inch alloy wheels, along with a different battery configuration setup.
• However, globally, the VF5 is powered by two battery pack options: a 29.6 kWh battery pack mated with a 95 HP electric motor. Then comes a larger 37.23 kWh battery pack, paired with a 136 HP electric motor. 
• Talking about its safety suites, the VF5 is expected to offer 6 airbags as standard, ABS with EBD, ESC, hill start assist, and an ISOFIX seat configuration setup.
