Twelve electric SUVs are on sale in India today. Most aren’t worth your money. Here are the four that are — across budgets.
Under ₹15 lakh: Tata Punch EV
Technically a micro-SUV, but it’s the right answer at this price. 421 km MIDC (300+ real), 50 kW DC charging, 5-star Bharat NCAP. ₹14.5 L on-road for the Long Range trim.
₹15–25 lakh: MG Windsor EV Pro
The Windsor isn’t pretty. It is the most rear-seat-friendly EV under ₹20 lakh. 50.3 kWh LFP, 332 km MIDC, V2L, business-class rear recline. ₹17.5 L ex-showroom. Honest second choice: Tata Curvv EV at ₹19.5 L (better range, worse rear seat).
₹25–35 lakh: Mahindra BE 6
The most exciting Indian EV launched in 2025. 79 kWh battery, 682 km MIDC (~480 real), 175 kW DC charging (20–80% in 20 minutes), proper RWD chassis. ₹26.9 L ex-showroom base; ₹32.4 L top trim. Read our full BE 6 review.
₹35–50 lakh: Hyundai Ioniq 5
Boring on paper, exceptional on the road. 72.6 kWh, 631 km claimed (~470 real), 350 kW DC charging architecture (caps at 230 kW real). ₹46 L on-road. The Tata Harrier EV is ₹6 L cheaper if you can live with a slower charge curve.
What we’d skip
- Mahindra XUV400 EV — dated cabin, weak resale
- Citroen e-C3 Aircross — sparse service, mediocre range
- Volvo EX30 — UI is so bad it’s a safety concern
