Vietnamese electric automaker VinFast will make its second appearance at the Montreal Electric Vehicle Show (MEVS) 2025, showcasing an expanded lineup of all-electric SUVs. The event runs from May 2-4 at the IGA Stadium, where VinFast will display its vehicles at booth #364.

MEVS stands as Canada’s largest electric vehicle exhibition, featuring approximately 70 EV models from 15 automotive manufacturers. The annual show provides Canadians with a comprehensive look at the latest advancements in electric mobility technology.

VinFast has significantly expanded its presence since last year’s show, where only the VF 8 and VF 9 models were displayed. This year, attendees will see four distinct models covering multiple vehicle segments: the subcompact VF 6, compact VF 7, midsize VF 8, and full-size three-row VF 9.

The VF 6, VinFast’s subcompact SUV, features a single electric motor producing up to 201 horsepower in its PLUS trim, with a 59.6 kWh battery. The ECO variant delivers 174 horsepower with a targeted WLTP range of 399 kilometres, while the more powerful PLUS variant offers a projected 381-kilometre range.

The compact VF 7 steps up performance significantly, especially in its PLUS configuration with dual electric motors generating 348 horsepower and all-wheel drive. According to VinFast Canada’s website, the VF 7 ECO offers a targeted WLTP range of 450 kilometres, while the PLUS version provides 431 kilometres under the same standards. However, Natural Resources Canada rates the VF 7 PLUS at 336 kilometres, reflecting the typical difference between WLTP estimates (which tend to be more optimistic) and North American regulatory ratings. The ECO variant produces 201 horsepower with front-wheel drive.

“We’re thrilled to return to the Montreal Electric Vehicle Show 2025 after another successful year for VinFast in Canada,” said Robert Muller, Deputy CEO of VinFast Canada. “Connecting with the EV community in Canada has always been incredibly rewarding, and we’re proud to showcase our expanding lineup of high-quality electric vehicles. With test drives available for both the VF 8 and VF 9, we’re excited to give drivers a closer look at the performance and innovation VinFast has to offer.”
