The award jury acknowledged the VF 6 for delivering a strong balance of pricing, features, performance and safety, key factors that increasingly influence Indian car buyers. With more than two decades of legacy, the Autocar India Awards are widely regarded as a trusted benchmark, and winning vehicles often go on to perform strongly in the market.

Designed with Indian conditions in mind, the VF 6 was praised for its market-focused approach, addressing consumer priorities such as long-term ownership value, lower running costs and advanced safety. The electric SUV meets these expectations while maintaining modern design standards and up-to-date technology.

Positioned in the B-segment electric SUV category, the VF 6 features a compact yet robust design suited for city driving. Its cabin offers a comfortable layout for passengers, supported by smart connectivity features and advanced driver assistance systems that enhance safety and convenience.

VinFast India Chief Executive Officer Tapan Ghosh said the recognition reflects industry confidence in the brand’s premium yet accessible electric vehicles and reinforces its commitment to sustainable mobility in India. Autocar India Editor Hormazd Sorabjee noted that the VF 6 successfully delivers strong value in a competitive sub-20 lakh rupee segment.
