The electric vehicle market in the country is booming. Not only for two-wheelers, but also for electric four-wheelers, there has been a surge in demand. This has provided an opportunity for a number of vehicle manufacturers to seize the moment and bring their models to market. We’re also aware of the SUV mania in India. With this in mind, numerous automakers are attempting to introduce their new electric SUVs to the United States. We’ve compiled a list of eight forthcoming electric SUVs in India that you should be thrilled about.
Upcoming Electric SUVs
1. Volkswagen & Skoda Premium EVs
Both Skoda and Volkswagen, which are related firms, aim to introduce electrified SUVs in India. Volkswagen calls it the ID.4, while Skoda calls it the Enyaq. Both SUVs, like the Slavia and the Virtus, would be the same automobile beneath. The Skoda Enyaq and Volkswagen ID.4 are two of the safest automobiles on the market, with Euro NCAP crash testing giving them five stars. Both would receive their distinctive design language. These automobiles’ cabins would be luxurious to be in.
When it comes to features, both will have a wide range of premium features. On a full charge, these automobiles are said to have a range of 520 kilometres worldwide. In India, the Skoda Enyaq and Volkswagen ID.4 will compete with the Kia EV6 and the anticipated Hyundai Ioniq 5. We anticipate a price range of Rs 45 lakh to Rs 50 lakh for them (on-road, Mumbai).
2. BYD Atto 3
In India, BYD is a new electric car manufacturer. They had released the BYD E6 in India, however the electric MPV was only available for business use. The Atto 3 is a new electric car that the company is aiming to launch in India. It’s a five-seater SUV with a stated range of 420 kilometres when completely charged, according to the firm. It is priced at roughly Rs 35 lakhs globally. Due to numerous taxes, we estimate pricing to be slightly higher in India. It will compete with the Tata Nexon EV Max, Hyundai Kona EV, and MG ZS EV, among others. Would you be interested in considering a MG ZS EV or a Tata Nexon EV Max rival for more than Rs 35 lakh? Let us know what you think in the comments!
3. MG – Nexon EV Rival
When others were still intending to enter the electric car industry, MG was one of the first to do so. As a result, they have a lot of expertise with electric vehicles in India. This is why the company chose to release a Nexon EV competitor (confuse it not with the Nexon EV Max). With the success of the Nexon EV, the company realised that there is a sizable demand for electric vehicles in the sub-Rs 20 lakh range. This is why the new MG EV, which will compete with the Nexon EV, will be priced about Rs 18 lakh. It’ll most likely be a scaled-down version of their ZS EV. The MG EV is expected to come with Nexon EV-like dimensions. We can expect a claimed range of above 300km on a charge.
4. Hyundai Ioniq 5
A high-end electric SUV from the company is the Hyundai Ioniq 5. The design language of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 SUV is quite striking and futuristic. It is currently on sale in other countries, and we expect to see it in India shortly. Premium sound system, two large 12.25-inch monitors, linked car technology, ADAS level two, and other technologies are likely to be included in this automobile in India. With an anticipated price range of Rs 50 lakhs to Rs 60 lakhs, it would be the most expensive Hyundai vehicle.
5. Upcoming Electric SUVs – Maruti Toyota mid-size EV
Maruti currently does not provide an electric vehicle in India. Toyota, on the other hand, possesses electric car technology, and both Maruti and Toyota are working on an electric SUV as part of their partnership. The first will be a mid-size SUV, rather than the hatchback that the majority of people expected from Maruti. Given Maruti’s current concentration on features, we may expect a good number of features from these vehicles as well. The mid-size electric SUV will reportedly have a range of 400 to 500 kilometres. The electric vehicle is expected to be available by 2025. However, it is possible that it would be reasonably priced, starting at roughly Rs 15 lakhs.
6. Upcoming electric SUVs – Mahindra XUV400
In India, Mahindra will eventually release the electric version of the XUV300. The XUV400 is believed to be its name. It will be developed on the MESMA platform from Mahindra (Mahindra Electric Scalable and Modular Architecture). It will also be longer than the XUV300 because it will be built straight on the Tivoli platform without any platform modifications. A 150bhp electric motor might be used to power this vehicle. On a single charge, we may anticipate a range of roughly 400 kilometres. It’s projected to be priced between Rs 15 lakhs and Rs 20 lakhs (on-road, Mumbai), with a 2023 release date.
7. Upcoming electric SUVs – Mahindra eKUV100
It has been a while since the eKUV100 was scheduled to launch. It will be the brand’s entry-level electric SUV. Regarding appearance and proportions, it would be entirely based on the ICE-powered KUV100. On a single charge, we may anticipate a range of 250 to 300 kilometres. The AC charger will take roughly 6 hours to fully charge, however the DC fast charger will charge from 0 to 80% in an hour. It will likely be a reasonably priced electric SUV and go on sale in India for about Rs. 10 lakhs (on-road, Mumbai).
