3 medium-sized electric SUVs coming soon

This year’s festival has given the Indian electric vehicle market a much-needed boost in October. The electric vehicle segment, whose sales have continued to decline over the past two months, had the highest monthly sales of 217,716 units. According to Vahan data from the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, this is the second time that electric vehicle sales have crossed the 200,000-unit mark in 2024, pushing total electric vehicle registrations past the 6 million unit milestone.

Considering the growth in the electric vehicle segment, OEMs such as Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Mahindra, Tata, Toyota and Honda are gearing up to launch a slew of new electric vehicles aimed at the mass market. In the next 3-4 months, we will see the launch of three mid-size electric SUVs from India’s top carmakers – Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai and Mahindra.
