The Limo Green marks VinFast’s first purpose-built electric MPV (eMPV) and could join the company’s growing Indian lineup after the VF6 and VF7 SUVs.

That makes it larger than the Kia Carens EV and closer in size to the Toyota Innova Hycross, giving it a spacious and premium look.
VinFast Limo Green EV Interior and Comfort Features
The Limo Green’s cabin follows VinFast’s minimalist, tech-focused design philosophy. Spy shots and details from the Vietnam-spec model suggest that the India-bound version will share a similar interior layout.
Key interior highlights:
- 7-seater configuration with foldable third-row seats
- Flat dashboard layout with a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system
- Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility
- Automatic climate control (single-zone)
- Four-speaker audio system
- Leatherette upholstery in higher variants
For safety and convenience, the MPV could include:
- Multiple airbags
- 360-degree camera
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
- Hill Start Assist (HSA)
- Traction Control System (TCS)
- Reverse parking sensors and camera
While the current commercial version in Vietnam is basic, the India-spec version is expected to offer more comfort and connectivity features, especially if it’s sold for private buyers.
VinFast Limo Green EV Battery and Powertrain
The VinFast Limo Green is powered by a 60.13kWh lithium-ion battery pack, paired with a front-mounted single electric motor.
Powertrain specs:
- Power output: 201 hp (150 kW)
- Torque: 280 Nm
- Drive type: Front-wheel drive (FWD)
Performance & Range:
- Claimed range: 450 km (NEDC cycle)
- Charging time: 10%–70% in just 30 minutes via 80kW DC fast charger
- AC charging: 11kW onboard charger
In Vietnam, VinFast offers an 8-year / 1,60,000 km battery warranty, and a similar plan could be extended to Indian buyers. The brand is also developing its VGreens charging network, which could offer free or subsidized charging across India initially.
Expected Price and Rivals
VinFast aims to position the Limo Green in the mid to upper MPV segment, targeting both families and ride-hailing services.
Expected ex-showroom price (India): ₹22 lakh – ₹25 lakh
Likely Rivals:
- BYD eMAX 7 (₹26.9 lakh onwards)
- Kia Carens Clavis EV (₹17.9 lakh onwards)
- Toyota Innova Hycross Hybrid (as an indirect competitor)
Given its larger size, longer range, and advanced charging, the Limo Green could find a sweet spot in the market for premium electric MPVs.
VinFast’s India Strategy
VinFast’s expansion into India began with the VF6 and VF7 SUVs, which are also expected to be locally assembled at the Thoothukudi plant in Tamil Nadu. The company has also filed patents for the Limo Green design, confirming its long-term plans for this model in the country.
The automaker’s localized production approach and VGreens charging infrastructure will play key roles in offering competitive pricing and ownership convenience to Indian customers.
Final Verdict
The VinFast Limo Green signals the brand’s serious intent to tap into India’s growing electric MPV market. With its spacious 7-seater design, premium looks, and 450km claimed range, it promises both practicality and sustainability. If VinFast manages competitive local pricing and a strong charging network, the Limo Green could emerge as one of India’s most capable and family-friendly electric MPVs, setting a new benchmark in the segment.
