The upcoming electric MPV is comparable in dimensions and seating capacity to VinFast's Limo Green. It measures 4740 mm in length, 1872 mm in width, and 1734 mm in height. However, the MPV 7 is specifically designed for individual consumers, distinguishing itself with high-end features such as integrated lighting at the front and rear, keyless entry, and larger 19-inch alloy wheels.
