Electrifying Future: Upcoming Electric Cars in India to Watch Out For

5 months ago | 5 Views

The Indian electric vehicle market is experiencing significant momentum. Established automotive giants are either venturing into electric mobility or enhancing their existing offerings, while several new entrants are preparing for a substantial launch. Companies such as Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, and JSW MG Motor are intensifying competition against market leader Tata Motors, with newcomers like VinFast demonstrating a strong commitment to making a significant impact.

Although the growth of the electric car segment has not matched that of electric two- and three-wheelers in the country, the future is perceived as highly promising. Electric vehicles offer a level playing field, presenting numerous opportunities for innovation and market presence. However, not every electric vehicle, particularly electric cars, will meet the diverse expectations of Indian consumers. While there are already several viable options available, many more are anticipated to make a significant entrance into the market.

Explore some of the most remarkable electric car options that are poised to make their debut in India.

VinFast VF 7

Vietnamese EV company VinFast has officially landed on Indian shores and announced its entry with the VF 7 at Auto Expo 2025.

VinFast has been pursuing a strategy of global expansion for an extended period. As the inaugural electric vehicle manufacturer from Vietnam, the company has experienced significant growth since its inception in 2017. Central to this growth is the VinFast VF 7 model.

Recently, the VinFast VF 7 was unveiled in India at the Auto Expo 2025, with a launch scheduled for the festive season. But what makes this electric vehicle noteworthy? To begin with, it boasts a contemporary and assertive stance, characterized by design features such as its A-wing front apron, striking character lines, flush door handles, and a dynamic rear profile. Inside, the vehicle offers vegan leather seating, ample space, a panoramic sunroof, and an impressive 15-inch infotainment display, all of which emphasize its luxury appeal. However, the true value of these features hinges on the vehicle's range and performance. The VF 7 SUV delivers 343 bhp and 500 Nm of torque, with a claimed range of 450 kilometres per charge.

The VF 7 is set to be the flagship model from VinFast, with the company also announcing the introduction of the VF 6 compact SUV in this market. This model is expected to appeal significantly to aspirational mass-market consumers, featuring impressive aesthetics and a purported range of 400 kilometres on a single charge. Anticipate that both of these electric vehicles will be assembled locally.

MG Cyberster

The MG Cyberster offers a single-charge range of 507 km with a 77 kWh battery pack.

For those seeking a sportscar that operates solely on battery power, the MG Cyberster is an appealing choice. It offers not only impressive speed but also a striking presence when stationary. Featuring scissor doors, LED lighting accents, 20-inch alloy wheels, and a fully digital triple-screen interface, the MG Cyberster undoubtedly captures attention.

In terms of performance, the MG electric sportscar is equipped with a 77 kWh battery pack and is available in both single and dual-motor configurations. The single-motor variant produces a peak power of 335 bhp and a maximum torque of 475 Nm, with the rear-wheel-drive model capable of travelling 507 kilometres on a single charge. Conversely, the dual-motor version boasts a peak power of 496 bhp and a maximum torque of 725 Nm, achieving a range of up to 443 kilometres on a full charge. MG has commenced bookings for the Cyberster, with its launch imminent.

Maruti Suzuki e Vitara

The Maruti Suzuki e Vitara is seen here at the Auto Expo 2025.

The largest automobile manufacturer in the country is poised to make a significant entry into the electric vehicle market, having unveiled the e Vitara, its inaugural all-electric model. The e Vitara was revealed at the Auto Expo 2025 and aims to deliver the finest features of Maruti Suzuki in a completely new format.

This all-electric SUV boasts an impressive range exceeding 500 kilometres and will be available with two battery pack options, along with All-Wheel Drive capabilities. The Maruti EV is equipped with LED headlights featuring three-piece Y-shaped daytime running lights, a blacked-out bumper with integrated fog lamps, alloy wheels ranging from 18 to 19 inches, dual integrated cabin displays, Level-2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), and additional features.

Notably, the e Vitara will be produced in India and will be available for sale domestically before being introduced to other global markets. The company also plans to export this model to Europe and Japan at a later date.

Tata Harrier EV

The Tata Harrier EV has been revealed in the near-production guise and will possibly go on sale later this year

The anticipation surrounding the Tata Harrier EV is nearing its conclusion, as the Indian automotive manufacturer unveiled a near-production variant of the vehicle at Auto Expo 2025. The production model of the Tata Harrier EV bears a strong resemblance to the concept version and maintains similarities with the internal combustion engine (ICE) variant. Notable modifications include an updated grille and bumper, while the alloy wheels have been designed for enhanced aerodynamic efficiency. Inside the vehicle, the EV features a 12.3-inch touchscreen, a touch-sensitive panel for HVAC controls, vehicle-to-load (V2L) and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) charging functionalities, new terrain modes, and advanced connected car technology, among other enhancements.

Hyundai Inster EV

Where offered, the Inster EV from Hyundai comes in three versions - Entry L, Top and Cross.

Hyundai has adopted a top-down strategy in its approach to introducing electric vehicles (EVs) in India. The Kona and Ioniq 5 have been available in the market for some time, but the focus is now shifting towards the Creta EV. Furthermore, there are strong indications that the company may introduce the Inster EV in the near future. Currently available in South Korea and Japan, the Inster EV boasts a range of approximately 370 kilometres, making it a viable choice for urban residents. Its compact dimensions, comparable to those of the Venue, render it particularly suitable for the crowded streets of Indian cities. It is anticipated that the model will undergo several modifications tailored to the Indian market when it becomes available.
