The Auto Expo 2025 is already in full swing and the second day was no less. We saw the domination of electric SUVs on the day 2 of the Expo mainly from automakers like BYD, VinFast, and Hyundai. We also got to see India’s first solar power assisted small EV, while BMW also announced the prices of its new-generation SUV. Let’s have a look at all the important highlights from the second day of the Expo.
5 New Showcases From VinFast
The Vietnamese EV maker, VinFast, debuted 5 new models on our shores: VF 3, VF 6, VF 7, VF 8, and VF e34. It’s the first time VinFast debuted its products in India, however there’s no model on sale right now in the country. Out of these 5 models, VinFast will likely launch the VF 6 and VF 7 electric SUVs later this year.
