Pros

What works in its favour

Best for buyers who want an upscale long-range EV with much faster road-trip charging than the mainstream India crossover field.

  • Premium EV buyers
  • Highway charging
  • Design-led shoppers

Cons

What to watch before you buy

  • The 663 km figure is the India ARAI-certified claim, so it should not be treated as a like-for-like WLTP or motorway guarantee.
  • Its low roofline and design-first shape make it a sharper recommendation for couples and smaller families than for buyers chasing maximum rear-seat utility.
