Vinfast Vf6 vs Petrol Car — Is It Worth Switching to Electric?
The Vinfast Vf6 starts at ₹16.49 L ex-showroom, which is approximately ₹4.95 L more than a comparable petrol car at ₹11.54 L. However, the Vinfast Vf6 costs just ₹1.02/km to run vs ₹7/km for petrol — a 85% reduction in per-kilometer cost that quickly erases the upfront premium.
At 40 km of daily driving, the Vinfast Vf6 saves ₹7,176 every month on fuel. Add the maintenance savings of ₹1,306/month (EVs need no oil changes, fewer brake jobs, no exhaust repairs), and the total monthly advantage reaches ₹8,482.
The breakeven point — when cumulative savings equal the price difference — comes at approximately 69 months (5.8 years). After that, every month of ownership puts money back in your pocket. By year 5, the total cost of ownership stands at ₹20.77 L for the Vinfast Vf6 vs ₹20.33 L for the petrol equivalent.
Beyond cost, the Vinfast Vf6 produces zero tailpipe emissions (saving approximately 1752 kg of CO₂ per year), runs virtually silent, qualifies for Section 80EEB tax deduction (₹1.5 lakh on loan interest), and benefits from state road tax waivers and registration fee exemptions. The verdict: for most drivers covering 40+ km daily, switching to the Vinfast Vf6 is both financially smart and environmentally responsible.
