The Indian automotive market is witnessing a shift towards electric vehicles. Recognizing this trend, several automakers are gearing up to launch new EV models. While the current landscape includes budget-friendly EVs from brands like MG and Tata, the compact SUV segment has fewer options. This is set to change in 2026 with the arrival of at least four new affordable compact electric SUVs. These upcoming models aim to provide consumers with cost-effective alternatives to petrol-powered vehicles. The Mahindra XUV 3XO EV, Kia Syros EV, Vinfast VF3, and Hyundai Inster EV are among the anticipated additions.
