Top Upcoming Electric Cars in India: World EV Day

As the electric mobility shift gathers pace, India is preparing to welcome a fresh lineup of electric cars across different segments. From homegrown automakers to global luxury brands, manufacturers are readying new models for launch by the end of 2025. On World EV Day, here is a look at some of the most anticipated upcoming electric cars.

Maruti Suzuki will enter the electric car market with its first EV, the e-Vitara, which is expected to launch around the festive season. The SUV will be offered with two battery pack options: 49 kWh and 61 kWh. The smaller battery will deliver a WLTP range of 346 km, while the larger unit in a single-motor setup will extend this to 428 km. A dual-motor version with the same 61 kWh battery is also planned, with a range of 412 km. Production of the e-Vitara has already begun at Maruti’s Hansalpur plant in Gujarat. The company has also started exports, shipping over 2,900 units in August to 12 European markets, including the UK, Germany, France, Norway, and Sweden.

Tata Motors is bringing back the iconic Sierra nameplate in an electric avatar. First showcased at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, the Sierra EV is expected to borrow its powertrain from the Harrier EV and carry forward a similar design as its ICE sibling. The SUV is likely to feature DC fast charging and bidirectional capabilities such as Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) and Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) charging. A driving range of over 500 km is expected, though final details are yet to be confirmed. Inside, the Sierra EV will come equipped with multiple 12.3-inch screens, including a digital instrument cluster, infotainment system, and a driver-focused display. The model is expected to reach showrooms by the end of 2025.

Luxury carmaker BMW is preparing to introduce the updated version of its flagship electric SUV, the iX, in India. Currently sold in the xDrive 50 variant at Rs 1.39 crore (ex-showroom, Mumbai), the facelifted iX has already been unveiled globally with styling changes, improved efficiency, and power upgrades. Production is underway at BMW’s Dingolfing plant in Germany, with a global rollout took place around March this year. The India launch is expected by year-end, though the final variant lineup remains unconfirmed.

Mahindra continues to expand its EV portfolio with the upcoming XEV 7e, recently spotted testing in India. Positioned between the BE 6 and XEV 9e in the company’s lineup, the SUV will be based on Mahindra’s INGLO modular skateboard platform. The XEV 7e is expected to offer battery options of 59 kWh and 79 kWh, with a claimed driving range of up to 600 km on a single charge. Powertrain details are likely to be shared with the BE 6 and XEV 9e, giving the new model a familiar technical base.
