Guys, the electric SUV scene in India is about to get really interesting, and in 2026, these 6 names are going to be on everyone’s lips. I’ve been in the car industry for over 10 years, and permit me let you know straight now not the entirety is as shiny as it seems. To be frank, these EVs are interesting, however every comes with its personal set of demanding situations.

1. Tata Punch EV Facelift

The Tata Punch EV Facelift looks ideal for smaller cities. The company claims a range of 300+ kilometers. But I remember the Nexon EV also claimed something similar, and in real road tests it managed only about 250–260 km. Showroom guys will always talk big, but real-world experience is different. One day, while test-driving the Punch prototype, I faced some software lag a minor hassle, but telling of things to come.

2. Maruti Suzuki e Vitara

The Maruti Suzuki e Vitara is already creating hype. A friend who attended the pre-launch said The design is good, but charging points are still limited. In real-world city traffic, range and mileage will matter a lot. When I casually asked a salesman, he said Bookings are strong, but delivery will take a while. So straight up, patience is key here.

3. Toyota Urban Cruiser Ebella

Toyota’s Urban Cruiser Ebella will target urban buyers. Performance looks okay, but city traffic will test regenerative braking and battery efficiency. I remember once during a Toyota EV test drive, sudden regen braking caused the wheels to lock slightly. Small stories, but they teach you a lot about real-world usage.

4. Hyundai Compact EV

The Hyundai Compact EV is designed for smaller cities and metro traffic. Top speed and torque seem good, but high temperatures could reduce battery efficiency a bit. The dealer casually mentioned software updates every six months meaning long-term ownership will require attention.

5. Mahindra BE6 Rall-E

The Mahindra BE6 Rall-E is exciting just by name. From my experience, Mahindra EVs have strong hardware, but the software usually lags behind. Even in the prototype review, the dashboard UI was slow to respond. In real life, that can get slightly annoying.

6. Tata Avinya EV

The Tata Avinya EV looks like a futuristic model. Range and design are impressive. But an insider friend told me that the first batch deliveries may face software calibration and charging network issues. Straight up the EV is ahead in style and tech, but early adopters will need a bit of patience.
