The all-electric VinFast VF 6 SUV has been awarded the “Value for Money Car of the Year” title at the Autocar India Awards 2026, one of the most respected honours in the Indian automotive industry. The recognition highlights the VF 6 for delivering strong overall value in its segment, combining competitive pricing, a well-equipped feature set, and capable performance—reinforcing VinFast’s focus on meeting the expectations of Indian consumers.
The Autocar India Awards is an annual awards programme organised by Autocar India, one of the country’s leading automotive publications. With a legacy spanning over 23 years, the awards are widely regarded for their credibility, with several past winners going on to achieve notable commercial success and leadership positions within their respective segments.
This year, the VinFast VF 6 impressed the jury with its market-focused approach to product development for India, where consumers increasingly prioritise long-term value, running costs and safety. The VF 6 was recognised as a model that meets these expectations effectively, while still maintaining high standards of design and technology.
A B-segment electric SUV, the VF 6 features a modern, compact yet robust design well suited to urban driving conditions. Its interior is thoughtfully crafted to maximise comfort for both driver and passengers, complemented by smart technology features and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) that help enhance safety and convenience in everyday use.
The award at the Autocar India Awards 2026 represents an important milestone for the VF 6 and adds to VinFast’s growing list of achievements as the brand expands across international markets. The recognition reflects VinFast’s consistent strategy of making premium electric vehicles more accessible to a wider range of customers.

Mr. Hormazd Sorabjee, Editor, Autocar India, said: “Getting the value equation right in India is never easy, but the well-equipped and practical VF 6 with its Rs sub-20 lakh price range does exactly that. It’s a lot of car for the money.”
