What to watch
Ownership notes before you buy
The 567 km number is the official India-market NEDC combined claim, so it should be treated as a planning anchor rather than a like-for-like WLTP figure.
Its coupe-SUV shape looks more distinctive than a boxier family EV, but buyers who care most about rear-headroom efficiency may prefer a more upright alternative.
