Not only are there a lot of these models, but they also push boundaries in terms of design, technology, and value.
EVs like the Mahindra XEV 9S, VinFast VF6/VF7, and Tata Harrier EV are particularly noteworthy since they increase Indian consumers' access to electric mobility. Premium SUVs with world-class features and luxury include the Tesla Model Y, Skoda Kodiaq, and Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line.
With so many new models coming out in 2025, the Indian SUV market feels revitalized and competitive. Long-range EVs, high-end crossovers, and affordable city SUVs are all now available to buyers. There will probably be more of these launches in the upcoming months, which might push Indian consumers' choices, safety, and technology even farther.
