VinFast VF6 – Exterior Design
The VF6 looks elegant thanks to its clean body lines. It has an athletic silhouette, complemented by modern design elements like projector LED headlamps mounted on either side of the bumper and sleek eyebrow-shaped LED DRLs featuring a VinFast logo in the centre. Rolling on 18-inch dual-tone alloy wheels, the VF6 features thick body cladding on the lower portion of the EV, giving it a rugged look.
Towards the rear, it boasts connected LED taillights, a well-integrated spoiler, and a chunky bumper.

The India-spec Vinfast VF6 will be available in six body chades: Infinity Blanc, Crimson Red, Urban Mint, Jet Black, Desat Silver, and Zenith Grey.
