The electric vehicle segment is currently dominated by SUVs including the Nexon EV, Punch EV and the MG ZS EV. The trend is likely to continue, as more manufacturers will launch new electric SUVs in our market. In this article, we talk about the upcoming mid-sized electric SUVs that will be launched in our country in the next 1-2 years.
Hyundai Creta EV
Hyundai is testing the much-awaited Creta EV on the Indian roads. Going by the spy images, it is visible that the new electric SUV will look different from the existing ICE model. The big change will be made inside the cabin, as it will draw inspiration from the global-spec Kona EV.
Not just the interior, the electric powertrain will also be similar to the Kona EV. It is likely to be fitted with a 45kWh battery pack and a front-axle mounted permanent magnet electric motor.
In terms of design elements, it will be quite similar to the Creta facelift. However, Hyundai will give a few design updates to give it an EV look. The SUV will feature a closed-off grille, new front & rear bumper, and all-new aero-optimized alloy wheels. Hyundai will most probably unveil its Creta EV at the Bharat Mobility Show in early 2025.
Tata Curvv EV
Tata Motors is also on the brink of bringing its game-changing Tata Curvv EV. It is slated for launch in the next three months. Not only its electric version, the brand will also roll out an internal combustion engine (ICE) version, most likely by Diwali. Although the battery pack is not confirmed, it is likely to feature a battery pack ranging from 40kWh to 60kWh with a range of 500 km approx.
Maruti Suzuki eVX
The production version of the Maruti Suzuki eVX concept is likely to make its debut at the 2025 Bharat Mobility Show. The launch is expected by March 2025. It is likely to be offered with two battery options - 48kWh or 60kWh, with a maximum range of 500 km on a single charge. Additionally, it will be manufactured locally at Suzuki’s Gujarat-based manufacturing plant. It is interesting to note that the eVX is not just for India, it will also be exported to select international markets including Europe and Japan.
