These include a 15-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a heads-up display, wireless smartphone charging, ambient lighting, leatherette upholstery, and a panoramic sunroof.[12] Safety and driver-assistance technologies include Level 2 ADAS, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, blind spot detection, and a 360-degree camera system. The vehicle comes standard with eight airbags and electronic stability control.[13][14]

Sales
In its home market of Vietnam, the VF 7 recorded deliveries of 773 units in May 2025. While specific year-to-date sales data for the model is limited, reports indicate that the VF 7 trails behind other VinFast models such as the VF 3 and VF 5 in domestic sales volumes. In India, the launch was postponed to mid-August 2025 due to distribution and logistical challenges.[19][20] The company revised its annual sales target for the VF 7 to 3,000 units in India.[21]
