VinFast Vento S Price Overview
| Variant | Battery and range | Expected ex-showroom | Estimated on-road, Bengaluru | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VinFast Vento S Standard | 3.5 kWh, up to 160 km | Rs 1.50 to 1.80 lakh | Rs 1.59 to 1.91 lakh | Upcoming |
VinFast Vento S Expected Price in Bengaluru
| Price component | At Rs 1.50 lakh | At Rs 1.80 lakh |
|---|---|---|
| Ex-showroom price | Rs 1,50,000 | Rs 1,80,000 |
| Road tax | Nil | Nil |
| Insurance (approx.) | Rs 7,500 | Rs 9,000 |
| Other charges | Rs 1,500 | Rs 1,800 |
| On-road price (estimated) | Rs 1.59 lakh | Rs 1.91 lakh |
Karnataka charges no road tax on EVs, so the on-road price should stay only about 6% above ex-showroom. However, these figures are estimates based on expected pricing. We’ll update them once VinFast announces official Bengaluru prices.
Could It Get the PM E-Drive Subsidy?
The central PM E-Drive subsidy covers electric scooters priced under Rs 1.5 lakh. Therefore, the Vento S would qualify only if VinFast prices it at or below that mark. If it launches at the higher end of the expected range, buyers won’t get the subsidy. As a result, the final launch price will matter a lot for value.
Expected Value per Kilometre
One useful way to judge value is the price per kilometre of claimed range. Based on the 160 km global claim, the Vento S would work out to about Rs 938 to Rs 1,125 per km. However, that claim comes from a steady 30 km/h test, so real-world value will be lower. In comparison, the TVS iQube S works out to about Rs 920 per km on its IDC figure.
Running Cost Savings
With home charging, the Vento S should cost roughly Rs 0.25 to Rs 0.30 per km to run. In comparison, a 110cc petrol scooter costs about Rs 2.10 per km in fuel. At 1,000 km a month, that saves about Rs 1,800 a month, or over Rs 21,000 a year. Moreover, its belt drive and LFP battery should keep long-term costs low.
VinFast Vento S Price vs Rivals
| Model | Ex-showroom price | Claimed range | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| VinFast Vento S | Rs 1.50 to 1.80 lakh (expected) | Up to 160 km (global) | Upcoming |
| Ather Rizta Z | Rs 1.37 to 1.57 lakh | Up to 161 km | On sale |
| TVS iQube S | Rs 1.61 lakh | 175 km | On sale |
| Hero Vida V2 | Rs 1.51 to 1.55 lakh | 143 to 165 km | On sale |
| Bajaj Chetak | Rs 95,802 to 1.52 lakh | Up to 153 km | On sale |
The Vento S will enter a crowded segment with well-established rivals. To compete, VinFast will likely need to price it near Rs 1.5 lakh. However, its Phone as a Key, ABS and LFP battery could help it stand out.
Launch Timeline
VinFast already sells the Vento S in Vietnam and has shown its electric scooters to Indian audiences. The company plans to launch its scooters in India around late 2026. However, VinFast hasn’t confirmed an exact date, India-spec details or official prices yet. Therefore, we’ll update this page as soon as the official announcement comes.
