The VF MPV 7 rollout took place during a customer experience event in Indonesia, where VinFast showcased the vehicle’s performance, smart features, and spacious interior through test drives and interactive demonstrations.
According to the company, the first VF MPV 7 produced at the Subang facility represents an important step in its localization roadmap, aimed at improving competitiveness and increasing accessibility to electric vehicles for Indonesian consumers.
