In the next 12 to 18 months, Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Tata, and Mahindra will all be releasing electric SUVs in India.
Mahindra
Mahindra: The top four car companies in India, Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Tata, and Mahindra, intend to introduce new electric SUVs during the course of the next year or so. Here are the details:
Tata Curvv & Harrier EV
Tata is set to unveil the electric Curvv by the middle of this year, with the ICE variant to follow. Probably supporting V2L function, the midsize electric SUV coupe is expected to have a stated range of over 500 km on a single charge. Similar to the Punch EV, which made its debut a few weeks ago, the five-seater will be seated on the Acti.ev platform.
Tata Motors will unveil the production-spec Harrier EV later this year. A month ago, the vehicle was on display at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2024. It draws inspiration for its design from the recently redesigned Harrier EV, and the interior of the two vehicles will share many features. There will be a digital cluster, a floating touchscreen, ADAS, and numerous airbags.
Hyundai Creta EV
Although it hasn’t been formally confirmed, Hyundai is anticipated to unveil the electric Creta before the end of this year or in the first quarter of 2025. It will face competition from the upcoming Curvv EV, the Maruti Suzuki eVX, and its Toyota counterpart, among other vehicles. A battery pack from LG Chem is probably going to be used in the midsize SUV, and the electric motor might be taken from the Kona Electric base model.
Maruti Suzuki eVX
The Suzuki eVX concept, which has undergone significant development, made its debut in Tokyo towards the end of 2023. It has since been spotted undergoing testing both in India and overseas. Based on the 27PL platform that Toyota shares, it will be manufactured in India and shipped to other countries. The highest-end models might have a 60 kWh battery pack that, according to the concept, could have a range of about 550 km. It will debut in early 2025 or late 2024.
Mahindra XUV.e8
It was originally planned for release by December 2024. The Mahindra XUV.e8 will be based on the XUV700. Currently anticipated to arrive in showrooms in H1 2025, the XUV.e8 takes cues from its concept and will be the first model to use the INGLO platform.
