The VinFast VF7 Sky Infinity is Vietnam’s boldest electric SUV yet — a premium, tech-loaded, AWD machine with a 70 kWh battery, 260 kW dual motors, and a claimed 530 km range (real-world ~450 km). It charges from 10–70% in 25 minutes, rides on 19-inch alloys, and wraps you in a futuristic cabin with a 12.9-inch touchscreen, HUD, Infinity panoramic roof, and Level 2+ ADAS. Priced at ~₫750–800 million (~₹25–27 lakh on-road in India), it rivals the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 with Vietnamese innovation and global quality. Smooth, silent, spacious — this is VinFast’s sky-high leap forward.
Introduction — Vietnam’s Answer to Global EV Giants
VinFast didn’t just enter the EV race — it sprinted in with style.
Born from Vietnam’s largest conglomerate, Vingroup, VinFast started as a petrol car maker in 2017. By 2021, it went fully electric. Today, it exports to the US, Europe, and India — and the VF7 Sky Infinity is its most ambitious SUV yet.
Slotting between the compact VF6 and the larger VF8, the VF7 is a mid-size electric SUV built for urban professionals, tech-loving families, and early EV adopters. The Sky Infinity is the top-spec variant — think AWD performance, panoramic glass roof, and luxury touches that make it feel like a ₫1 crore car.
We spent a full day with the VF7 in Lucknow (delivered from Jaipur — no local showroom yet) to test its design, performance, range, tech, and real-world usability. Here’s the full breakdown.
Exterior Design — Bold, Futuristic, and Premium
The VF7 Sky Infinity doesn’t whisper. It shouts premium.
Front Profile and Lighting
The face is dominated by the glowing VinFast “V” logo and a full-width DRL strip that lights up dramatically on unlock. Below, matrix LED projector headlamps with integrated indicators deliver sharp, focused beams. Four front parking sensors and a front radar unit enable Level 2+ ADAS.
The honeycomb radiator grille is purely aesthetic (no engine to cool), flanked by gloss black accents and a matte black skid plate. The Nato Grey paint (our test car) looks stealthy and expensive — especially under sunlight.
Side Profile and Wheels
Muscular bonnet creases flow into sharp shoulder lines. Matte black cladding runs along the bottom, with a reflective strip adding flair. The 19-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels are shod with Apollo 245/50 R19 tyres — wide, grippy, and stylish.
Flush door handles pop out uniquely — not from the top like Tata/Mahindra, but from the side — a clever design touch. Black ORVMs house turn indicators and 360° cameras with excellent clarity.
Rear Styling
The rear is clean and modern. A full-width connected LED taillight glows with a cinematic sequence. The VinFast logo, reverse camera, and turn indicators are neatly integrated. A shark-fin antenna, roof spoiler, and high-mounted stop lamp complete the sporty look.
The rear wiper is mounted on the roof — just like a Range Rover — a premium detail. Four rear parking sensors and reflectors enhance safety.
Dimensions and Build Quality
| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Wheelbase | 2,840 mm |
| Ground Clearance | 190 mm |
| Boot Space | 537 litres |
| Kerb Weight | ~2,100 kg (est.) |
The VF7 has a compact footprint but a long wheelbase — perfect for city parking and highway stability. The 190 mm ground clearance handles speed breakers with ease.
Build quality is solid. The rigid structure and excellent insulation keep cabin noise near zero — even on rough roads. No creaks, no rattles — this feels like a global premium EV.
Powertrain and Performance — Clean Power Meets Vietnamese Engineering
Battery and Motor Setup
Under the floor lies a 70 kWh lithium-ion battery powering dual electric motors (one per axle) delivering 260 kW (349 hp) and instant torque. It’s All-Wheel Drive — a rarity in this segment.
Acceleration is brisk. 0–100 km/h feels under 6 seconds — quick enough to surprise petrol SUVs.
Charging and Range
The VF7 uses a CCS2 port located on the front left fender.
- DC Fast Charging: 10–70% in 25 minutes
- Claimed Range: 530 km (NEDC)
- Real-World Range: ~450 km (mixed city/highway, AC on)
Regenerative braking has four levels:
- Off → coasting
- Low/Medium/High → adjustable energy recapture
Drive Modes and Ride Experience
Three modes:
- Eco → soft throttle, max range
- Normal → balanced
- Sport → sharp response, full power
Suspension is McPherson struts (front) and twist-beam (rear) — tuned for comfort over sportiness. Potholes disappear. The ride is plush, composed, and silent — even on broken roads.
Interior & Comfort — The Future Inside a Cabin
Step inside, and you’re in 2030.
Dashboard and Infotainment
There’s no start button. Keep the key in your pocket, press the brake — and the car wakes up silently.
A single 12.9-inch touchscreen is split into two zones:
- Left: Driver info (speed, range, gear)
- Right: Infotainment
It’s slightly tilted toward the driver for easy access. Features include:
- Wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay
- Voice commands
- In-car games
- 3D 360° camera with transparent chassis view (like Range Rover)
A Heads-Up Display (HUD) projects speed, navigation, and indicators onto the windshield.
Steering and Controls
The flat-bottom steering wheel is compact and grippy. Controls include:
- Voice commands
- Volume
- Cruise control
- Lane-keep assist
Tilt + telescopic adjustment ensures perfect positioning.
An infrared camera above the wheel monitors driver fatigue — it alerts you with chimes and a coffee icon if you’re drowsy.
Seats & Comfort
- Driver seat: 8-way power adjustable, ventilated
- Passenger seat: Manual
- Upholstery: Premium tan + mocha brown leather with orange contrast stitching
Rear seats recline, offer excellent legroom, knee room, and headroom — even for 3 adults. AC vents, Type-C 90W port, USB, and a fold-down armrest with cupholders keep passengers happy.
Cabin Features
- Wireless charging pad
- 8-speaker sound system — loud, clear, immersive
- Soft-touch leather on doors, armrests, and panels
- Ambient lighting
The Infinity Roof — A Unique VinFast Signature
The entire roof is glass — VinFast calls it the Infinity Roof.
It’s UV-protected and heat-rejecting — even in blazing Lucknow summer, the cabin stays cool and shaded. A manual curtain is included for extra privacy.
No openable sunroof — but the airiness is unmatched. It makes the cabin feel massive and luxurious.
Technology & Safety — Level 2+ ADAS and Beyond
Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS)
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Lane Keep Assist
- Forward Collision Warning
- Auto Emergency Braking
- Blind Spot Monitoring
Powered by front radar, cameras, and ultrasonic sensors.
Other Safety Highlights
- 6 airbags
- 360° camera
- Front & rear parking sensors
- ISOFIX
- Hill-hold
- Electronic stability control
Real-World Driving Impressions
The VF7 is effortless to drive.
- Throttle response: Instant, smooth
- Steering: Light in city, weighted on highway
- Braking: Strong, progressive (with regen)
- Cabin insulation: Library-quiet
- Rear visibility: Slightly limited (thick pillars)
It’s perfect for daily commutes and weekend getaways. The ride comfort and feature overload make long drives fatigue-free.
