It is available in a single variant for private buyers and is said to be available with a different moniker (Limo Green) for the commercial market. If you’re looking for an electric MPV, and the VF MPV 7 makes you curious, here’s everything you get:
Exterior
The VinFast VF MPV 7 is stylish-looking, and it features the following elements to add to that character:
-
LED headlights
-
LED DRLs
-
LED turn indicators
-
19-inch all-black alloy wheels
-
Black body cladding
-
Shark-fin antenna
-
Rear wiper, washer and defogger
Interior
The cabin of the VinFast VF MPV 7 comes in two distinct themes: all-black and dual-tone black and brown. It brings the following key equipment:
-
Leatherette seat upholstery
-
Adjustable headrests for all seats
-
Bezelless day/night IRVM
-
Front centre armrest with storage
One would have appreciated the consideration of a sunroof, a rear centre armrest and sunshades and ambient lighting too.

Auto AC with rear vents

| The notable misses for the VF MPV 7 remain power-adjustable, ventilated front seats and a wireless phone charger. The MPV 7 also doesn’t feature the EV-specific tech like V2L (Vehicle to Load) and V2V (Vehicle to Vehicle) charging. It even misses out on a powered tailgate. |

-
10.1-inch display for infotainment & instrument cluster combined

4-speaker sound system

Hill start assist
-

| The two key deciding factors for a car at this price point could be the presence of a 360-degree camera and a level-2 advanced driver assistance system (ADAS). Both these features are absent in the VF MPV 7. It is also equipped with just 4 airbags; 6 would have made it a safer package, considering it is supposed to haul 7 people. |
