VinFast Patents VF6 Facelift, Lac Hong 900 LX in India
VinFast has registered designs in India for two SUVs.
One is an updated version of the VF6 electric SUV.
Its lights may look different, and its wheels could also change.
The design documents do not show whether the inside or battery will be updated.
The other vehicle is called the Lac Hong 900 LX.
It is a large luxury SUV designed for Vietnam and uses several Vietnamese cultural ideas.
Filing a patent does not mean VinFast will definitely sell either vehicle in India.
VinFast has filed Indian design patents for the VF6 facelift and Lac Hong 900 LX.
