₹ 22.00 Lakh

The 2021 MG ZS EV has been introduced in India with a price tag of Rs 21 lakh (ex-showroom).

Mercedes-Benz EQA

₹ 60.00 Lakh

Ford Mustang Mach-E

The Mustang Mach-E is relatively light and well-packaged. It has been built on underpinnings modified from those of the Focus and Kuga that Ford now calls its GE2 platform, and has a mixed-metal and composite frame. An entry-level, one-motor, rear-driven version weighs less than 1,900kg and has almost as much usable battery capacity as a Polestar.

BMW iX

₹ 1.00 Crore

It can be expected to use a variant of the single-motor powertrain featured in the newly revealed iX3, which sends 286hp to the rear wheels and offers a WLTP range of 458.6km. The 5 Series and X1 will join the next-generation 7 Series flagship luxury sedan in receiving full-electric versions.
