Positioning and Potential Market Role
The Limo Green is currently positioned as a commercial people-mover in Vietnam, catering largely to taxi and fleet operators. If brought to India, VinFast may follow a similar strategy, placing it in the growing electric MPV segment - a space that could see it rival the likes of BYD's e6, which follows a comparable business model.
Design and Dimensions
Patent sketches reveal a familiar VinFast identity, complete with V-shaped lighting signatures at both ends and a clean, streamlined profile. Measuring 4,740 mm long, 1,872 mm wide, and 1,728 mm tall, with a 2,840 mm wheelbase, the MPV sits close to the Toyota Innova Hycross in size. A large roof-mounted spoiler, 18-inch alloy wheels, and black rear bumper details add to its road presence.
Cabin Layout and Features
Inside, the Limo Green follows a 2+3+2 seat configuration, skipping captain seats in favour of maximum passenger capacity. Equipment highlights include a 10.1-inch infotainment screen, single-zone automatic climate control, USB charging ports, and vegan leather upholstery. Safety is handled by four airbags, ABS, and an electronic parking brake, though advanced driver assistance systems are not part of the package.
Powertrain and Performance
The MPV uses a front-mounted electric motor producing 204 hp and 280 Nm, paired with a 60.13 kWh battery pack. VinFast claims a driving range of around 450 km per charge (NEDC standard). Fast-charging support up to 80 kW enables a 10-70% top-up in roughly 30 minutes, while Eco, Comfort, and Sport driving modes allow for varied driving styles.
Made in India for Local and Global Markets
Production of VinFast's India-bound EVs - including the VF6, VF7, and potentially the Limo Green - will take place at the brand's upcoming Tamil Nadu facility, its first manufacturing base outside Vietnam. The plant is expected to serve both domestic buyers and export demand, marking India as a strategic hub in the company's global roadmap.

Verdict
If launched, the Limo Green could provide VinFast with a strong and unique foothold in the fast-growing electric MPV segment. By combining the spaciousness and comfort expected by private car buyers with the durability and practicality sought by commercial fleet operators, it would appeal to a wide range of customers. This dual-purpose approach could help VinFast stand out in a market with very few direct electric MPV competitors.
