Measuring in at around 4.5 metres long, the VF 7 gets a rather contemporary exterior design with smooth lines and a sleek profile with a gently sloping roofline and angled rear windshield. The fascia features a pair of LED daytime running lamps at the base of the bonnet with the main headlamps units set lower down on the bumper. The rear gets similarly styled LED light guides as the front DRLs. There’s a fair bit of cladding down the sides and at the rear to give the VF 7 a more crossover-like look.

The cabin meanwhile features a driver-oriented layout with the centre console replete with the free-standing touchscreen angled towards the driver. The dashboard lacks a conventional instrument cluster behind the steering. The central touchscreen incorporates a lot of the in-car functions including controls for the air conditioning. Level 2 advanced driver assistance systems are offered as standard.
