VinFast VF 7 has two versions: Base and Plus, designed in the “Asymmetric Aerospace” language by Torino Design (Italy) to embody freedom, technology, trendiness, and personality.
The front and rear of the car are highlighted by the signature Wing-Shaped LED lights of VinFast. The coupe-style fanning roof, paired with large wheel arches and 20-inch alloy wheels, contribute to a strong and sporty look.
With a length of 4,545mm (2,840 mm wheelbase), width of 1,890mm, height of 1,635.75mm, and ground clearance of 190mm, VF 7 offers spacious and luxurious mineral-filled interior space with premium leather seats.

To enhance personalization, VF 7 offers 6 exterior colors and 2 interior colors, with the Plus version featuring two-tone interior colors that match the individual personality and style. In addition, users can also choose the Panorama panoramic glass roof (Plus version) for a luxurious feel and superior experience compared to the C segment.
In terms of performance, VinFast equips the Plus version of VF 7 with two electric motors with a maximum total power of 260 kW (equivalent to 349 horsepower), maximum torque of 500 Nm, and all-time all-wheel drive, making it the most powerful machine in its segment.
