Vinfast is looking to build on its increasing sales as it looks to expand its network plus bring new products. Speaking to CEO, Tapan Kumar Ghosh, Vinfast will bring three new cars this year and starting with a new 7-seater electric car in the first half of this year. The 7 seater while not being confirmed is the all new Limo Green MPV and there would be two versions, one for fleet and one for private buyers.

In 2025, Vinfast saw it overtake many others in the EV space and it also scaled up its operations with 35 showrooms in 27 cities. In terms of new launches, Mr. Ghosh said that the MPV space has clear potential as customers want a 7 seater vehicle with a clear potential demand. Vinfast in turn will offer a 7 seater electric MPV for potential buyers who were earlier looking at ICE versions due to lack of choices.
