VinFast has revised the colour options for its VF 6 and VF 7 electric SUVs in India, introducing three new shades while removing two existing colours from the lineup.
The update is limited to the exterior colour palette. There are no changes to the SUVs’ mechanical specifications, battery options, performance figures, or features.
The revised lineup gives buyers darker alternatives for the red and green shades, along with a new blue-inspired colour that expands the total number of available options.
Colours
The two discontinued colours are Crimson Red and Urban Mint. These have been replaced by Solar Red and Ivy Green, respectively.
VinFast has also introduced Moonlight Ocean as a new colour option. This means both the VF 6 and VF 7 now offer seven exterior colour choices, compared with six previously.
The changes appear focused on refreshing the appearance of the two electric SUVs rather than introducing a new model year or equipment package.
| Earlier colour | New colour |
|---|---|
| Crimson Red | Solar Red |
| Urban Mint | Ivy Green |
| No equivalent | Moonlight Ocean |
VF 6
The VinFast VF 6 continues with its existing 59.6kWh battery pack.
The electric SUV is available with two power outputs depending on the variant. Lower versions produce 174bhp, while higher variants develop 201bhp.
VinFast claims a range of up to 468km for the VF 6.
There are no changes to these specifications as part of the colour update. The VF 6 continues to compete with electric SUVs such as the Mahindra BE 6, Hyundai Creta Electric, Maruti Suzuki e Vitara, and Toyota Ebella.
For buyers considering the VF 6, the revised colours therefore provide additional choice without altering the vehicle underneath.
VF 7
The larger VF 7 also receives the same colour changes.
It continues to offer the 59.6kWh battery, while higher versions are also available with a larger 70kWh battery pack.
Depending on the configuration, the VF 7 has a claimed range of up to 532km.
The SUV is offered in three broad variants and remains one of the few vehicles in its segment to offer a dual-motor all-wheel-drive configuration.
The colour update does not affect the powertrain or equipment levels of the VF 7.
Design
The introduction of Solar Red and Ivy Green gives the two SUVs darker interpretations of colours that were already available.
Moonlight Ocean is the more significant addition because it expands the overall palette rather than replacing an existing shade.
Colour choices can play a bigger role in electric vehicles than it may initially appear. With SUVs becoming increasingly similar in overall shape and proportions, exterior finishes provide buyers with another way to distinguish their cars.
For VinFast, the revised palette also gives the VF 6 and VF 7 a refreshed appearance without requiring changes to the underlying vehicles.
Features
Despite the updated colours, the equipment and technology offered by the VF 6 and VF 7 remain unchanged.
There are no reported mechanical upgrades, battery revisions, range improvements, or additional features linked to the colour update.
This means buyers choosing one of the new shades are essentially purchasing the same specification available previously, with the main difference being the exterior finish.
Competition
The VF 6 operates in an increasingly competitive electric SUV market in India.
Its rivals include the Mahindra BE 6, Hyundai Creta Electric, and Maruti Suzuki e Vitara. The VF 7 sits in a larger segment and offers a 70kWh battery option as well as an all-wheel-drive configuration on selected versions.
The availability of a dual-motor setup gives the VF 7 a distinction in its segment, with the Tata Sierra EV also offering this type of configuration.
Outlook
The latest colour update gives the VinFast VF 6 and VF 7 a broader visual choice without changing their core specifications. Crimson Red and Urban Mint have been replaced by Solar Red and Ivy Green, while Moonlight Ocean takes the total number of colour options to seven.
For customers who were considering either electric SUV, the changes may make the buying decision slightly more flexible, particularly for those looking for a darker red or green finish. However, buyers should not expect any difference in performance, range, battery capacity, or features based solely on the new colours.
