The Kona Electric is now available for purchase on the domestic market from Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL), and a facelift is anticipated soon. Even though the five-seater occupies a great location, it doesn't follow much volume. Following that, India's second-largest automaker intends to release the Ioniq 5 EV.
After the next generation Tucson comes this week, it will be introduced later in the year.

Tata Motors Nexon EV, which is marketed in the similar price range, is now the market leader in the passenger EV class. by a few well-known companies, like as Mahindra, who will release the XUV400 in the upcoming months.
Hyundai is creating a brand-new environmentally friendly car that will probably be built on the ICE platform in order to target the mass market EV category.

The style of the small SUV has just undergone a significant overhaul as it now adheres to the newest sensual sportiness design philosophy. The Tata Nexon EV and the future Mahindra XUV400, both of which are based on the Nexon and the XUV300 respectively, may be directly compared to the Venue-based electric SUV.
Since the EV will not be eligible for the tax savings associated with vehicles less than four meters, the platform may be somewhat bigger than the standard space. It could have a Li-ion battery pack that can go more than 300 kilometers on a single charge and is designed to offer quick charging.
