The year 2025 will go down in Indian automotive history as the year of the electric SUVs. While previous years saw early adopters dipping their toes into the electric, 2025 was the year the floodgates opened. From homegrown giants like Maruti and Mahindra finally entering the ‘born-electric’ arena to global players fighting for a slice of the mass-market pie, the options for Indian car buyers have never been more electrifying.
Hence, here are the 7 standout electric SUVs that debuted in India in 2025. Note that these SUVs have not only changed the way Indians drive, but also made the world sit up and take notice. Here you go.
1. Maruti Suzuki e Vitara
The wait for Maruti’s first-ever electric vehicle finally ended in 2025. Unveiled at the Bharat Mobility Expo, the e Vitara is built on a dedicated Heartect-e platform. It isn’t just a conversion of an existing car; it’s a global product manufactured in India.
The Highlight: A massive 2.7-meter wheelbase that offers cabin space rivaling SUVs a segment above.
Spec-Check: It offers two battery options (49kWh and 61kWh) with a claimed range of over 500 km. It also introduced Level 2 ADAS to the Maruti stable.
2. Hyundai Creta EV
The undisputed king of the mid-size SUV segment finally went silent. The Creta EV arrived with the massive burden of expectations, and it delivered by retaining everything people love about the ICE Creta while adding serious electric punch.
The Highlight: Integration of ‘i-Pedal’ technology for single-pedal driving and an “Active Air Flaps” system on the grille to maximize aerodynamics.
Spec-Check: Available with a 51.4kWh battery, it boasts a range of roughly 510 km and a 0–100 km/h time of a brisk 7.9 seconds.
3. Mahindra XEV 9e
Mahindra’s “Born Electric” (BE) vision became a reality with the XEV 9e. This is a futuristic SUV-coupe that looks like it drove straight off a sci-fi movie set.
The Highlight: The “Triple Screen” dashboard—a wall of glass stretching across the interior—and an augmented reality (AR) heads-up display.
Spec-Check: Built on the INGLO platform, it offers battery sizes up to 79kWh, delivering a staggering range of 656 km (MIDC).
4. Tata Harrier.ev
Tata Motors, the current leader of the Indian EV market, upped the ante with the Harrier.ev. While it looks familiar, the underlying Acti.ev architecture makes it a beast off-road.
The Highlight: The introduction of 4WD (All-Wheel Drive) via a dual-motor setup, making it one of the few mass-market EVs capable of tackling mud and slush.
Spec-Check: A 75kWh battery pack provides a range of over 600 km, and it features “Summon Mode,” allowing the car to drive to you in tight parking spots.14
5. MG Windsor EV (Long Range)
While the Windsor EV (CUV) launched late in 2024, the 2025 Long Range Pro variant solidified its place as a top contender. It blurred the lines between an SUV and a luxury lounge.
The Highlight: The “Aero-Lounge” rear seats that recline up to 135 degrees, paired with a massive 15.6-inch “GrandView” touchscreen.
Spec-Check: The new 52.9kWh prismatic battery pushed the range to 449 km, making it a viable inter-city cruiser.
6. VinFast VF6
2025 saw the official entry of the Vietnamese EV specialist, VinFast, into India. The VF6 was their opening gambit, targeting the heart of the compact SUV segment.
The Highlight: A clean, Italian-designed aesthetic (by Pininfarina) and a highly competitive price point that challenged the established Indian brands.
Spec-Check: It comes with a 59.6kWh battery pack and a range of approximately 468 km, focused heavily on “smart” features and voice-assisted controls.
7. Mahindra BE 6
The smaller, sportier sibling to the XEV 9e, the BE 6 was launched to capture the younger, performance-oriented crowd. Its “human-machine interface” and cockpit-like interior are designed specifically for the driver.
The Highlight: Its “Sonic Identity”—a unique soundscape designed by musical legend A.R. Rahman that changes based on your driving mode.
Spec-Check: Despite its compact size, it shares the high-speed charging capabilities of its larger siblings, reaching 20% to 80% charge in just 20 minutes using a 175kW DC fast charger.
