VinFast 7-seater electric SUV Limo Green is likely to share the same design features as the latest models, the VF6 and VF7.
VinFast, a Vietnamese electric car manufacturer, has begun operations in India with the debut of two of its most anticipated models, the VF6 and VF7, five-seat SUVs. Following that, the brand recently filed a design patent in India for a new seven-seater electric SUV, named Limo Green. The filing indicates that the company is getting ready to expand its local product lineup beyond the models already confirmed.
Key Highlights
The VinFast new 7-seater electric SUV Limo Green is likely to share the same design features as the latest models, the VF6 and VF7. It gets a simple front fascia with DRLs that stretch the vehicle’s width. They meet in the center to form a ‘V’ shape, emphasizing the brand’s logo. Meanwhile, it gets an SUV-like design with side cladding, and the three-row SUV model is also expected to target both family and fleet customers.
The patent images depict a three-row SUV along with other notable features, such as:
- A full-width LED light bar is built into VinFast’s iconic ‘V’ logo.
- Vertically stacked headlamps
- Solid body cladding
- length: 4,740 mm & wheelbase: 2,840 mm
- A 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system
- Leatherette upholstery
- Minimalistic dashboard design
- Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS)
- A streamlined dashboard
- A three-spoke steering wheel
- Leatherette seating
- A 360-degree camera
- A floating center console
- Chrome accents for a premium look
Key Specifications
According to industry reports, the vehicle may be equipped with:
| Specification | Details |
| Battery Capacity | 60.13 kWh |
| Claimed Range | Up to 450 km (NEDC cycle) |
| Motor Type & Output | Single front-mounted motor producing approx. 201 bhp and 280 Nm torque |

Market Positioning
In Vietnam, the Limo Green is largely offered to taxi and ride-hailing services. VinFast’s Indian patent classification as a “Service Vehicle” indicates that it may pursue a similar strategy locally, positioning it for both private and commercial use.
India Manufacturing Plans
VinFast just opened its first production facility outside of Vietnam, in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu. The plant is expected to manufacture the VF 6, VF 7, and possibly the Limo Green for the domestic market. If introduced in India, the new seven-seater might compete with upcoming models such as the BYD eMAX 7 and the Mahindra XEV 7e. VinFast has yet to announce the price or launch dates.
