Three new electric cars, including a seven-seat model, expected to be launched in India in the next 2-3 months
Right in the beginning quarter of the new year, three new mass-market electric cars have already been launched in India: the Mahindra XUV 3XO EV, Maruti e Vitara, and the new Tata Punch.ev. Soon, three more affordable EVs are likely to be introduced, expected to be priced in Rs. 15-20 lakh (ex-showroom) in the base trim.
In the first half of April, Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) is likely to launch the Urban Cruiser Ebella, which it revealed in January. The Urban Cruiser Ebella is the corporate cousin of Maruti Suzuki’s e Vitara but carries a more contemporary look that’s less about ruggedness and more about elegance. Sleek headlamps, a simpler bumper with cleaner surfacing, and a flatter bonnet are among the key design changes. The interior largely mirrors the donor model.
TKM will launch it with the same battery packs and motors. The base variant will have a 49 kWh LFP battery pack combined with a front-mounted motor producing 106 kW (142 hp) and 193 Nm of torque. The top variant will upgrade to a 61 kWh LFP battery pack and a more powerful motor generating 128 kW (172 hp) and 193 Nm of torque. The Urban Cruiser Ebella will be able to travel 440 kilometres on a single charge in the base variant and 543 kilometres in the top variant.

Towards the end of next month, Tata Motors will likely unveil the Sierra.ev, the pure electric variant of the all-new Sierra. The electric variant will feature a minimalist nose section for a more understated look, as well as unique 19-inch alloy wheels. A flat floor should make the interior even more spacious and comfortable.
Tata Motors will likely offer the Sierra.ev in single-motor RWD and dual-motor AWD variants and give a choice of two battery packs. The company could be targeting a range of up to around 650 kilometres. It may launch the Sierra.ev sometime in May.

The VF 7 MPV measures 4,740 mm in length, 1,872 mm in width, and 1,734 mm in height and has a 2,840 mm wheelbase. The seven-seater has a single motor producing 150 kW (201 hp) and 280 Nm of torque and a 60.13 kWh LFP battery pack, and according to NEDC, this configuration is expected to deliver a range of 450 kilometres.
