The VinFast VF6, a mid-size electric SUV, has achieved an impressive 5-star rating in Bharat NCAP (BNCAP) crash tests, strengthening its position as one of the safest electric vehicles in India. Launched in 2025, the VF6 delivered strong results in both Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) and Child Occupant Protection (COP), placing it in direct competition with rivals like the Hyundai Creta Electric.
