VinFast, the Vietnamese company that entered India with two impressive electric vehicles a few months ago, is reportedly planning to launch a small electric car soon. The company recently filed patents for two electric cars named ‘Limo Green’ and ‘Minio Green,’ one being a small electric car and the other a 7-seater EV. The Minio Green is expected to compete with the MG Comet EV and Tata Tiago EV. It will differentiate itself in features, size, and design, and is slated to be the company’s most affordable electric car.
VinFast aims to capture a significant share of the Indian EV market. The company launched the VF6 and VF7 electric SUVs in the country a few days ago. The MG Comet EV is currently India’s smallest and most affordable electric car, with a starting price of ₹7.50 lakh and a top model price of ₹9.56 lakh, available in 6 variants. The Minio Green, for which the company has filed a patent, is approximately the same size. This small electric hatchback is 3,100 mm long, slightly longer than the MG Comet, with a wheelbase of 2,065 mm and 13-inch tires.
