The Vinfast VF e34, an electric SUV from the Vietnamese automaker, has been spotted testing in India once again as it gears up for its anticipated 2025 debut. This model is expected to spearhead Vinfast’s entry into the Indian market, positioning itself as a formidable rival to the Hyundai Creta and Kia Carens EV.
Design and Features
Previous images reveal that the VF e34 will be a stylish five-seat crossover, featuring the distinctive Vinfast front fascia, a sleek sloping roofline, and sporty matte-black wheels. Key design elements include uniquely shaped tail lamps and prominent black cladding above the wheel wells, adding to its dynamic appearance.
Performance and Specifications
The VF e34 will be equipped with a powerful 110kW battery pack, delivering an impressive range of 318km. Its electric motor will enable the vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in under 10 seconds. Measuring 4.3 meters in length with a wheelbase of 2.6 meters, the SUV’s flat floor design will provide ample interior space, ensuring a comfortable cabin environment.
Feature-Rich Offering
In markets like Indonesia, where the VF e34 is already available, the SUV comes loaded with features such as climate control, level-2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), Highline Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), connected car technology, and a 360-degree camera. These features are standard in this vehicle segment, making the VF e34 a well-equipped, though not necessarily thrilling, option.
Market Position and Pricing
The Vinfast VF e34 is expected to be priced between Rs. 20-25 lakh in India. It will compete with established models such as the Hyundai Creta, Kia Carens, Maruti eVX, Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, MG ZS EV, Mahindra BE.05, and the Honda Elevate EV.
Conclusion
As the Vinfast VF e34 readies for its Indian debut, it promises to bring a blend of style, performance, and advanced features to the electric SUV market. With its competitive pricing and robust specifications, the VF e34 is set to make a significant impact, challenging the dominance of well-known brands in the segment.
