VinFast VF 6 and VF 7 electric SUVs secured a 5-star safety rating from Bharat NCAP.
This achievement is a significant step for VinFast to build trust in the competitive Indian market.
Both models demonstrated strong performance in adult and child occupant protection tests.
For VinFast, this is a big moment in India. Both the VF 6 and VF 7 electric SUVs have secured a 5-star safety rating from Bharat NCAP. For a new brand, this is not just a certificate, it is the first serious step towards building trust in a tough and highly aware market.
What the crash test numbers really show
The VF 6 scored 27.13 out of 32 in grownup occupant safety and forty four.41 out of 49 for infant safety. The VF 7 went a piece further, with 28.54 points for person protection and 45.25 for baby occupant safety. On paper, these are confidence-boosting figures.

I still remember a global SUV launch where similar numbers were proudly highlighted. Everyone clapped. A few months later, owners started complaining about overactive ADAS alerts. That is when you realise numbers alone do not tell the full story.
Frontal and side impact performance looks solid
In the Bharat NCAP frontal offset test, both SUVs scored full points for head, neck and upper leg protection for the driver and front passenger. Side impact results were equally strong, with full scores for adult occupants and child occupants.
The pole side impact test is where things get interesting. Head injury values were far below the allowed limit, with the VF 6 at 109 and the VF 7 at 131 against a threshold of 700. This suggests the structure and restraint systems are doing their job under severe impact conditions.
Both the VF 6 and VF 7 come with seven airbags as standard and offer ADAS features such as emergency braking, lane assist and blind spot detection. Local assembly at VinFast’s Tamil Nadu facility is also a positive sign, especially for long-term quality consistency.
The 5-celebrity Bharat NCAP score gives the VinFast VF 6 and VF 7 a strong start line in India. But in the real international, protection is judged over months and years of day by day using, now not simply in a crash lab. If VinFast can back those rankings with dependable software program, sensible ADAS tuning and strong after-sales help, these five stars can grow to be real emblem credibility.
