At the core of the VinFast Limo Green lies a 60.13 kWh lithium-ion battery pack with NMC chemistry, liquid-cooled for reliability in India's tropical climate, paired to a single front-axle electric motor producing 150 kW (201 hp) and 280 Nm of instant torque for smooth acceleration from traffic lights. This front-wheel-drive configuration hits 0-100 km/h in an estimated 9-10 seconds—adequate for merging onto NH-48 without drama—while top speed caps at 140 km/h to prioritize efficiency over thrills. 

Drive modes include Eco for battery sipping in stop-go Bangalore traffic, Comfort for balanced daily drives, and Sport for quicker overtakes, with adjustable regenerative braking via steering paddles enabling near one-pedal operation to recapture energy in urban crawls. The 800V architecture isn't specified, but power electronics ensure minimal losses, drawing from the pack's IP67-rated enclosure that's dust- and water-resistant for flooded streets.

 Weighing around 1,800 kg, the low-mounted battery aids a 55:45 weight distribution for composed cornering, and VinFast's eight-year/160,000 km warranty covers degradation to 70% capacity, including roadside assistance. In real-world testing, it handles like a refined hatchback despite MPV height, with silent propulsion cutting running costs to Rs 1-1.5 per km— a boon for high-mileage users transitioning from CNG variants of the Maruti Ertiga.

Range and Charging

The Limo Green tackles everyday needs with a claimed 450 km NEDC range from its 60.13 kWh battery, translating to realistic 350-400 km in mixed Indian conditions factoring AC use, highways, and city loads—enough for full-day taxi shifts or Delhi-Agra loops without mid-trip stops. Efficiency hovers at 14-16 kWh/100 km thanks to aero tweaks and eco tires, monitored via the infotainment's energy flow display for driver coaching. 

Charging is straightforward: the 11 kW onboard AC unit tops up fully in 6-7 hours from a home wallbox or mall station, ideal for overnight fleet recharges, while 80 kW DC fast-charging zips from 10% to 70% in 30 minutes at networks like Ather or Statiq. The app preconditions the battery for optimal speeds, and V2L capability powers small gadgets up to 3.3 kW via external outlets

The Limo Green's interior emphasizes simplicity and space for its seven occupants, creating a no-frills yet comfortable environment with a minimalist dashboard layout that prioritizes ease of use for drivers in fleet scenarios. The 10.1-inch central touchscreen serves as the hub, running VinFast's user-friendly interface with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support for seamless navigation through apps like Google Maps, plus voice commands in English and potentially Hindi for Indian users. 

Audio comes via a basic four-speaker setup sufficient for podcasts or calls, paired with single-zone automatic climate control that distributes cool air evenly across rows—essential for hot summers—and multiple USB-A/C ports for device charging during long rides. Seating follows the 2+3+2 config with fabric or vegan leather upholstery that's wipe-clean durable; the front offers a six-way manually adjustable driver's seat with height adjustment, while second-row benches slide for legroom flexibility (over 900 mm claimed), and the third row folds flat for up to 2,000 liters of cargo space when needed for airport runs. 

Ambient lighting is subtle, and practical bins include door pockets and a cooled glovebox, though premium touches like wireless charging are absent to keep costs down. 

The VinFast Limo Green's exterior follows a straightforward MPV blueprint with functional styling tailored for high-volume use on Indian roads, measuring 4,740 mm in length, 1,872 mm in width, 1,728 mm in height, and a generous 2,840 mm wheelbase that promises stable handling and ample interior room. Up front, slim LED daytime running lights form VinFast's signature V-motif, flanking a clean grille-less fascia with vertical headlamp units for a modern yet unpretentious look, while black plastic cladding on the lower body adds a rugged touch for minor pothole encounters. 

Slab-sided panels keep aerodynamics simple at a drag coefficient around 0.30, aiding efficiency without flashy curves, and the squared-off rear features a connected LED taillight bar with wrap-around edges, integrated bumper vents for cooling, and a subtle roof spoiler for downforce at highway speeds. It rolls on 18-inch dual-tone alloy wheels with low-rolling-resistance tires 

VinFast equips the Limo Green with essential safety for Indian roads, starting with four airbags (dual front and side) plus seatbelt pretensioners to cushion impacts in common rear-ends or T-bone crashes. Standard ABS with EBD and cornering brake control prevents skids on wet asphalt, complemented by an electronic parking brake with auto-hold for hill starts

Visibility aids include a reverse camera and optional 360-degree surround-view setup with parking sensors front and rear, easing maneuvers in tight colonies. No advanced driver aids like adaptive cruise or lane-keep here—kept basic to control pricing—but the rigid body shell with crumple zones and high-strength steel offers solid passive protection, potentially earning four-star Global NCAP if tested. 

The VinFast Limo Green enters a nascent but competitive electric MPV space in India, directly challenging the Kia Carens Clavis EV at Rs 18-25 lakh ex-showroom with its 490 km range and 126 kW motor, though the Limo edges on power (201 hp vs 170 hp) and space (longer wheelbase by 140 mm) for better third-row usability—ideal for value seekers over Kia's brand pull. The BYD eMax 7, priced from Rs 27 lakh, matches the seven-seat focus with a 55.4 kWh pack and 215 hp dual-motor AWD.

The recently launched Mahindra XEV9s and e-Vitara will also compete in the same EV segment offering much lower pricing and equal cost savings,
