*Power, torque and claimed range figures have been taken from the internationally available model which is offered with the same battery pack as the India-spec model.

Unlike the Vinfast VF MPV 7, both the Kia Carens Clavis EV and the BYD eMax 7 are available with two battery options. Notably, the VinFast VF MPV 7 offers a larger battery pack than both options available with the Kia Carens Clavis EV, while its capacity falls between the two battery packs offered with the BYD eMax 7.

In terms of performance, the VF MPV 7 matches the power output of the larger-battery version of the BYD eMax 7 variants, but produces 30Nm less torque. However, it delivers 33hp and 25Nm more than the larger-battery versions of the Carens Clavis EV.

The BYD eMax 7, with the largest battery in the segment, offers the highest claimed range, around 80km more than the VF MPV 7 (NEDC). While the MIDC range for the Vinfast model is yet to be announced, the company claims it will exceed 500km, placing it ahead of the Carens Clavis EV on this measure.
