The way people in Punjab drive is changing. Fuel bills are getting heavier, traffic is getting thicker, and families are asking a simple question: is there a smarter way to own and run a car? The answer, increasingly, is SUV electric cars. And in 2026, no brand is making that shift easier or more accessible than VinFast now available right here in Ludhiana through VinFast EcoDrive.

Whether you need a compact city SUV, a full-size performance SUV, or a spacious 7-seater MPV for the whole family, VinFast has a model built for exactly that. Let us take a close look at all three and why they are the right choice for Punjab buyers today.

Why Electric SUVs Make Complete Sense Right Now

Before we get into the models, let us understand why so many buyers are moving toward electric SUVs.

Petrol and diesel prices are at historic highs. Running a regular petrol SUV costs anywhere between ₹8 to ₹10 per kilometre. An electric SUV costs roughly ₹1 to ₹1.50 per kilometre on electricity. For a family driving 1,500 km per month, that is a saving of over ₹1 lakh every year — money that stays in your pocket instead of going to the fuel pump.

On top of that, electric vehicles have far fewer moving parts than petrol cars. No engine oil, no timing belts, no clutch plates. Maintenance is simpler, cheaper, and less frequent. With VinFast offering 3 years of free maintenance on every vehicle, the ownership cost in the first few years is genuinely low.

And the range anxiety that used to hold buyers back? That is largely over. Modern electric SUVs from VinFast are certified for 450 km to over 500 km on a full charge — enough for daily city use in Ludhiana and long highway drives to Chandigarh, Amritsar, or Delhi.

VinFast VF6 — The Smart Compact Electric SUV for Daily Life

Starting at ₹17.29 Lakh (Ex-Showroom)

The VF6 is VinFast's entry into the compact SUV segment, and it is one of the most thoughtfully designed cars in its price range.

The exterior is sharp and modern — a V-shaped LED DRL signature at the front, a coupe-inspired roofline, and 18-inch alloy wheels give it a confident presence without being flashy. At 4,239 mm in length, it is the right size for Ludhiana's city roads while still offering a comfortable cabin for five people.

Inside, the VF6 feels genuinely premium. The 12.9-inch central touchscreen supports Google-integrated navigation and infotainment. A coloured Heads-Up Display projects speed and key driving data onto the windshield. The front seats are heated and ventilated — great for Punjab's extremes of winter cold and summer heat. Dual-zone automatic AC with a PM 1.0 air filter keeps the cabin clean and cool. The panoramic sunroof opens the cabin up completely.

On safety, the VF6 carries a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating, 7 airbags, a 360-degree camera, front and rear parking sensors, and a full Level 2 ADAS suite — including adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, forward collision warning, and auto emergency braking.

The VF6 runs on a 59.6 kWh LFP battery, delivering an ARAI-certified range of 468 km. DC fast charging takes the battery from 10% to 70% in just 25 minutes.

Priced between ₹17.29 lakh and ₹19.19 lakh (ex-showroom), the VF6 delivers luxury features and serious safety at a very accessible price point.

VinFast VF7 — The Full-Size Electric SUV for Performance and Presence

Starting at ₹21.89 Lakh (Ex-Showroom)

For buyers who want more — more space, more power, more road presence the VF7 is the answer.

The VF7 is a full-size SUV at 4,545 mm in length, riding on a 2,840 mm wheelbase. The design is bold flush door handles, aero-optimised 19-inch dual-tone alloy wheels, V-shaped LED DRLs connected to the VinFast logo, and a sculpted rear bumper with connected LED taillamps. Ground clearance stands at 190 mm — well suited for Indian roads.

The cabin follows the same minimalist approach as the VF6, with premium vegan leather upholstery in a dual-tone finish, a 12.9-inch central touchscreen, a HUD replacing the traditional instrument cluster, ventilated front seats, and a large panoramic glass roof. Boot space is a generous 537 litres enough for airport trips, market runs, or a full family holiday.

The VF7 comes in two powertrain options. The Eco FWD produces 201 bhp and 310 Nm of torque. The top-spec Plus AWD uses a dual-motor setup delivering 349 bhp and 500 Nm, with a 0–100 km/h sprint in just 5.8 seconds. The AWD variant has an NEDC-certified range of up to 532 km. DC fast charging from 10% to 70% takes just 28 minutes.

Safety specifications match the VF6 — 5-star Bharat NCAP, multiple airbags, 360-degree surround view, electronic stability control, and Level 2 ADAS. The VF7 is available between ₹21.89 lakh and ₹26.79 lakh (ex-showroom).

VinFast VF MPV 7 - Seven Seats, 517 km Range, Built for Big Families

Starting at ₹24.49 Lakh (Ex-Showroom)

Not every family fits into a 5-seater. The VF MPV 7 solves that — and does it with style, technology, and impressive range.

Launched in April 2026, the VF MPV 7 is a 7-seater electric MPV built on its own dedicated platform, with steering and suspension tuned specifically for Indian road conditions. At 4,740 mm long with a 2,840 mm wheelbase, it has a commanding road presence — slim full-width LED lightbar at the front, a V-shaped DRL element as VinFast's signature, and clean aero-optimised 19-inch wheels on the side.

The cabin is designed for maximum comfort across all three rows. All rows get AC vents, the second-row seats slide and recline for more legroom, and the leatherette upholstery covers every seat. The floating 10.1-inch touchscreen supports wired Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. There is no traditional instrument cluster — all drive information comes through the screen. The floating centre console offers generous storage underneath.

Boot space ranges from 126 litres with all rows in use to 1,240 litres with the rear rows folded — one of the most flexible cargo configurations in the segment. Three driving modes — Eco, Normal, and Sport — and four regenerative braking levels let the driver tune the drive to their preference.

Under the hood is a 60.13 kWh LFP battery paired with a front-wheel-drive permanent magnet motor producing 201 hp and 280 Nm. The ARAI-certified range is 517 km — the longest of any VinFast model currently available in India. Charging from 10% to 70% via DC fast charging takes just 30 minutes. It also supports 11 kW AC charging for home overnight charging.

VF MPV 7 buyers receive free public charging until March 2029 on VinFast's VGreen network, a 10-year battery warranty, and a 7-year vehicle warranty.

Every VinFast model comes with a set of ownership benefits that are genuinely hard to match in this price range. Free maintenance for 3 years, a 10-year battery warranty, access to the VGreen fast-charging network, and trained EV advisors at every dealership — these are not marketing promises. They are structured into the purchase.
