VinFast India has clinched the prestigious “Design of the Year Award” at the Zee Media Auto Summit 2025 for its premium VF 7 electric SUV. The accolade highlights VinFast’s innovative approach to automotive design, combining style, functionality, and sustainability for the Indian market.

The VF 7 impressed the summit’s jury with its futuristic design inspired by aerospace engineering. Sharp lines, hidden door handles, a tapered roofline, and widened proportions enhance both aerodynamics and visual appeal. Inside, the “Asymmetric Aerospace” interior, crafted by Italy’s Torino Design, offers a driver-focused cockpit, expansive panoramic roof, large touchscreens, and advanced ADAS features, positioning the VF 7 as a strong contender in India’s EV segment.

This recognition adds to a growing list of accolades for VinFast, including Most Awaited New Car by ABP Live News and EV Disruptor of the Year by Jagran Hi-Tech Awards. Both the VF 7 and the smaller VF 6 are assembled at VinFast’s Thoothukudi facility in Tamil Nadu.

Commenting on the win, VinFast Asia CEO Pham Sanh Chau said, “This award reflects our team’s dedication to innovation and excellence. The VF 7 embodies our commitment to stylish, sustainable mobility tailored for India.”

VinFast continues to expand its footprint, operating 24 dealerships across major cities and aiming for 35 by year-end. The company is focused on building an integrated EV ecosystem spanning manufacturing, retail, charging, and after-sales services, reinforcing its mission to accelerate India’s shift to clean mobility.
