विनफ़ास्ट लिमो ग्रीन

Following the launch of the VF6 and VF7 SUVs in the Indian market, Vietnamese carmaker VinFast looks to be turning its attention to more new products for the Indian market. Aside from the entry-level VF3 expected to arrive in 2026, the company also looks to be eyeing a share of the electric MPV segment with the VinFast Limo Green that was unveiled in global markets early this year.

In terms of size, the Limo Green is closer to the size of the Toyota Innova HyCross, measuring in at 4740 mm long, 1872 mm wide and 1728 mm tall while sitting on a 2,840 mm wheelbase. The Hycross, in comparison, measures 4755 mm long, 1850 mm wide and 1790 mm tall and sits on a 2850 mm wheelbase. This makes it larger than both the new Kia Carens Clavis EV and even the more upmarket BYD eMax 7.

On the design side, the Limo Green clearly sports the family design with a pair of high-set daytime running lamps sitting high on the front fascia, stretching outwards from the central VinFast logo. The main headlamps are incorporated lower down on the bumper, and a large central air vent sits at the base of the fascia.

In profile, the discerning design features include a stretched window line with large rear quarter glasses and a gentle shoulder line running along the base of the windows. The rear lighting design mirrors elements of the front with lightguides extending out of a central VinFast Logo. Other notable design elements include a swath of black trim bisecting the rear mass in two, faux vents on the rear bumper and notable use of black cladding low down.

The cabin design, too, doesn’t deviate much from other VinFast models, with a large central touchscreen and the lack of a traditional instrument cluster (digital or analogue). The centre console follows a floating design and houses a rotary gear selector with storage space located underneath. A bench seat features in the second and third rows. The bigger news here is that the test mule of the Limo Green featured a right-hand drive layout, with the model on sale in Vietnam featuring left-hand drive.

On the specification front, the car launched in global markets, features a large 60 kWh battery paired with an electric motor driving the front wheels. The unit delivers a peak 201 bhp of power and 280 Nm of torque. The MPV also supports up to 11 kW AC and 80 kW DC Fast charging. VinFast claims a DC fast charging time of just 30 minutes for a 10-70 per cent charge. VinFast claims a NEDC range of 450 km on a full charge

The test model of the Limo Green arrives on Indian shores months after the company filed a design patent for the same in the Indian market. However, it remains to be seen if this will lead up to the MPV’s launch in the Indian market, where it could be positioned alongside the likes of the Kia Carens Clavis EV and BYD eMax 7.

Other Upcoming VinFast Models are the VF3 and VF9
