      New Skoda Epiq Is A 4.1m Electric SUV – Is This India Bound?

      by

      New Skoda Epiq Electric CrossoverAs opposed to the current crop of EVs from the company, new Skoda Epiq is the first representation of “Modern Solid” design languageFueling the electric vehicle onslaught, Skoda is launching six new EVs by the end of 2026. For India, however, Skoda has announced a sub 4m SUV at its recent event that could spawn a full-electric counterpart at a later date. Skoda has now introduced Epiq sub compact electric crossover which may find its way to our shores.Skoda Epiq Is A 4.1m Electric SUVWhat exactly is Skoda Epiq? The company calls it a design study, rather than a concept. But in reality, Skoda Epiq looks like a near production ready prototype that is undergoing studio photoshoot for advert material. Meaning, that this design study is so practical and mature, it looks ready for production.Skoda Epiq RearTouted as “small but epic”, Skoda Epiq is the first vehicle (design study) from the brand to sport its new “Modern Solid” design language. This is slightly different to what Skoda teased at the recent event on its upcoming sub 4m SUV. Targeted starting price of this vehicle is EUR 25,000 which translates to Rs. 22.5 lakh with today’s currency exchange rates.Skoda Epiq is a 4.1m long e-crossover that could be rounded-up as an electric version of Kamiq. However, being a born electric vehicle, Skoda Epiq boasts increased practicality over Kamiq. Born electric vehicles are blessed with better space optimisation by OEMs and Epiq sports a 490L boot space, which is roughly 20% larger than Kamiq’s.Skoda Epiq DashboardHow does it look?The Modern Solid design language is fairly handsome. We are sure this design wouldn’t split any opinions if launched in India. There are sleek LED DRLs on either end of Epiq’s fascia. These DRLs are coupled with fang-like LEDs vertically arranged, giving them an inverted L-like shape. Headlights are positioned below these fangs, engulfed in a black trim.New Skoda Epiq Electric CrossoverSkoda’s typical moustache is still present, but is sleeker and a lot appealing. Lower bumper has 8 massive vertical openings that lend an interesting direction. Side profile is strong with a thick and upright C-pillar. Door handles are conventional and there are swanky aero wheels. Floating roof effect and black body cladding all-around are other notable elements.Tail lights have T-shaped LED signature and the same 8 vertical openings can be seen in rear bumper too. Skoda lettering in Red sits on the neatly sculpted tailgate proudly. Chunky roof rails and glass roof are noteworthy.New Skoda Epiq Electric CrossoverPowertrain and specsOn the inside, Skoda Epiq looks modern and minimal. There is a layered dashboard, a free-standing infotainment screen, a small digital cluster, 2-spoke steering, a few buttons below the infotainment screens and seating for five. Skoda has tastefully played with white and orange shades for striking contrast.Powertrain-wise, Skoda Epiq will be underpinned by MEB Entry platform. Only FWD drivetrain is highly likely with this vehicle. Battery size is unknown and WLTP range could be in the ballpark of 400 km. Skoda Epiq might break covers in 2025 and the exact vehicle is less likely to reach our shores. More

      India’s Electric Vehicle Policy in the Spotlight – Import Duty At 15% For CKD

      by

      Tesla India launch expected this yearPowering Production: India’s EV Policy and Manufacturing RequirementsThe Union Government’s E-Vehicle Policy in India could be a pivotal step towards transforming the automotive industry. This regulatory framework outlines stringent yet strategic measures. This is aimed at fostering the growth of electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing (in the years to come) within the country.One of the policy’s key features is the stipulation of a minimum investment requirement of Rs 4,150 Cr, while also eliminating any maximum investment limit. This provision encourages substantial capital infusion into the EV sector. Which of course is essential for establishing robust manufacturing facilities and infrastructure.India’s Electric Vehicle Policy MandatesThe policy mandates that manufacturing facilities must be operational within three years. Commercial production should be commencing within the same timeframe. Dedicated timelines highlight efforts at expediting the adoption and proliferation of EVs. Domestic Value Addition (DVA) emerges as another crucial aspect of the policy putting focus on the need for indigenous production. DVA targets are set at 25 percent by the 3rd year, and 50 percent by the 5th year.India’s Electric Vehicle Policy – Emission MissionThe policy imposes 15 percent custom duty on vehicles with a CIF value exceeding USD 35,000 (About Rs 30 lakhs pre duty + tax) for a duration of five years. Additionally, it outlines provisions for limited imports, capping the maximum number of permissible imports at 40,000 EVs. Annual import numbers should not be exceeding 8,000 units.To ensure commitment and compliance, investors are required to furnish bank guarantees, serving as a financial security mechanism. Failure to meet DVA and investment criteria may lead to the invocation of these bank guarantees. Thereby reinforcing accountability and adherence to the policy’s mandates.The latest announcement sets forth a comprehensive roadmap for the sustainable development of the Indian automotive industry. By striking a balance between regulatory measures and incentivising investments, it aims to propel India towards a cleaner, greener, and more technologically advanced future. To make progress, the policy needs to lay strong emphasis on fostering innovation and technological advancement within the EV sector. By encouraging research and development initiatives, one can hope for cost efficient EVs that fit into people’s purchase plans.Domestic Dynamo: Policy Looks To Energise IndustryAs it stands, the policy serves as a catalyst for job creation and skill development in the automotive sector. Establishment of manufacturing facilities and the subsequent increase in production volumes will generate employment opportunities. This would be across various skill levels, from assembly line workers to engineers specialising in electric vehicle technology.Developing the E-Vehicle Policy aligns with India’s broader economic and environmental objectives. As a signatory to international agreements, India is committed to reducing its carbon footprint, and transitioning towards more sustainable forms of transportation. The promotion of electric vehicles through this policy is aimed at achieving these targets. This is based on global dialogues that view EVs as inherently cleaner while producing fewer emissions compared to traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. More

      Mahindra XUV.e9 Full Screen Dashboard and Frunk Area Spotted

      by

      Mahindra XUV.e9 ful dash touchscreen and Frunk AreaWhen compared to the flamboyant interiors of BE range of electric SUVs, XUV.e range share most of their interiors with XUV700 ICE vehicleAfter the first wave of electric cars in the form of e2O, e2O Plus and e-Verito, Mahindra has re-entered electric mobility business with XUV400. But the company has huge ambitions of dedicated BEVs and we will witness many born electric cars. Mahindra XUV.e9 is among them and recent spy shots reveal more information about this upcoming coupe SUV.Mahindra XUV.e9 Massive Frunk Area SpottedOne appreciable trait of a dedicated electric vehicle is that there will be quite a lot of space under the bonnet owing to platform optimization. On a derived electric vehicle most of the components are shared with their ICE counterpart and relocating them requires extensive re-engineering, which could prove a costly affair.Mahindra XUV.e9 InteriorsThe same is true with Mahindra’s EVs as well. XUV400 is a derived electric vehicle sharing most of its components with XUV300. Hence there is no Frunk (Front Trunk) or a Froot (Front Boot). The same can’t be said about Mahindra’s new wave of dedicated EVs in the form of XUV.e8, XUV.e9, BE.05, BE.07 and BE.09 or the XUV 7XO, XUV 5XO, XUV 3XO, XUV 1XO.BE.05, XUV.e8 and XUV.e9 have been spotted testing already. In the recent spy shots of XUV.e9 test mules credited to APK Kavaskar, we can get a sneak peek under the bonnet. We can see generous empty space that Mahindra can engineer into a Frunk or Froot.Mahindra XUV.e9 FrunkWe can spot a few rubber sealants on the bonnet hinting that Mahindra is thinking of implementing a small front cargo area. Looking at this area, we would reckon that Mahindra will implement a shallow, but wide and large Frunk or Froot with neat plastic trim. This particular vehicle seems to be an AWD unit and there will be more Frunk or Froot area with RWD model.Mahindra XUV.e9 FrunkWhat else can we deduce?Other notable attributes we can spot on this XUV.e9 test mule are twin hydraulic bonnet struts. XUV700 doesn’t get hydraulic bonnet struts even today, which is a shocking omission considering Duster offered it for almost half the price. We can’t ignore the massive road presence of this vehicle.The Coupe SUV shape grabs a lot of eyeballs, lending a stylish and sophisticated appeal. In one of our previous spy videos, we can see the massive triple-screen layout on the dashboard along with similar AC vents to XUV700. There is a new two-spoke steering wheel too and Mahindra could implement an illuminated logo like revealed in concepts.Mahindra XUV Coupe full dash length touchscreen spotted pic.twitter.com/nwsqF52MOP— RushLane (@rushlane) March 13, 2024Other notable attributes include large wheels that might be at least 19-inchers, Goodyear tyres, flush door handles, rear door handles on C-pillars, massive rear LED tail light signature, and large fascia with massive animalistic LED DRLs. The born electric INGLO platform offers battery options between 60 kWh and 80 kWh in capacity along with single-motor and dual-motor AWD drivetrain. Launch is expected by Dec 2024. More

      Maruti Suzuki eVX Electric SUV Spied Up Close – New Details Revealed

      by

      Maruti EVX Electric SUV SpiedPrimary rivals for Maruti Suzuki eVX spied up close include upcoming Creta EV, Curvv EV, BE.05, eC3 Aircross along with ZS EV and XUV400India’s best-selling car manufacturer, Maruti Suzuki, is exploring electrification route with its upcoming e-SUV. Maruti Suzuki is among the last OEMs to explore BEV options, while aiming at a bigger splash with hybrid vehicles. Despite that, the company has commenced testing of its maiden eVX electric vehicle and new spy shots reveal interesting details.Maruti Suzuki eVX Spied Up CloseUnlike the sub 4m Tata Nexon EV and Punch EV already on sale, Maruti Suzuki eVX will be a larger vehicle. This is because Nexon and Punch share their top hats with their ICE counterparts adhering to sub 4m length constraints. Maruti Suzuki eVX is based on YY8 skateboard, which is derived from Toyota’s 27PL platform.Maruti Suzuki eVX Spied Up CloseSo, this is a dedicated EV platform and not a derived one, shared with an already existing ICE vehicle. Maruti Suzuki eVX will not adhere to sub 4m length constraints and might measure between 4.2 m and 4.3 m. This pits it directly against Mahindra XUV400 and MG ZS EV, along with upcoming Hyundai Creta EV, Tata Curvv EV, Mahindra BE.05 and Citroen eC3 Aircross.The spy video shared by Rolling Cars reveals interesting new details. There is conventional headlight positioning, unlike the recent trend of split headlight setups. Headlight units seem to get triple ice-cube effect LED DRLs along with a mono LED projector setup. Front fascia has a radar module too, for ADAS suite.Maruti Suzuki eVX ORVM CameraORVMs get a camera each, suggesting a 360-camera setup. Alloy wheels are nothing fancy when compared to what was showcased in the concept car. Other interesting attributes include charging port on front left quarter panel. This should have been in the front centre for convenience’s sake like Tata does with Punch EV.Maruti Suzuki eVX New Infotainment ScreenWhat can we expect?Maruti is giving all-four disc brakes for enhanced stopping power, which is needed for heavier electric vehicles. While 4th generation Swift will ditch C-pillar mounted rear door handles, Maruti Suzuki eVX embraces it. Tail lights seem to be still under finalization and we can see temporary exposed bulbs for brakes and indicators.Going by recent Maruti launches, we can expect connected LED tail light design as well. Rear shark fin antenna and a neatly integrated roof spoiler are other highlight features. On the inside, this new spy video shows a larger touchscreen infotainment screen too. For starters, it is free-standing and looks wider and shorter than Maruti’s current 9-inch unit.Maruti EVX Electric SUV SpiedWe can speculate it to be around 10.2 inches diagonally. A similar screen might make it to instrument cluster for a new-age look. A panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, powered driver’s seat, and dual-zone climate control may be other highlights.Powertrain-wise, we can expect 45 kWh and 60 kWh battery options with single or dual motor AWD layouts too, accompanied by a 550 km claimed range. Launch could happen in 2025 and there will be Toyota counterpart based on Urban Crossover Concept revealed recently.Source More

      TVS XL EV And E-XL Names Registered – Upcoming Electric XL

      by

      Image for reference onlyAs of now, ICE XL 100 price starts from Rs. 46K and upcoming TVS XL EV or TVS E-XL might cost around Rs. 20K more (ex-sh)Leading 2W and 3W manufacturer of the world, TVS Motor, is set to expand its electric vehicle portfolio. The company intends to amplify its electric mobility solutions with an electrified version of XL. There are two new names that TVS has registered. One of these names could end up on electric XL when it launches.TVS XL EV And E-XL Names RegisteredXL is India’s only ICE powered moped on sale. It is prevalent among rural audiences and has also been a staple for intra-city last-mile delivery operations. TVS sold 41,635 units of XL 100 and its diverse variants in the month of February 2024. An electrified version of XL might prove beneficial for the brand.Not only in India, TVS XL has export potential too for many developing nations. For all these applications, an electrified version of XL could prove just as popular as its ICE counterpart already on sale. Now, there are two new names that might go on this upcoming vehicle.Earlier this year, TVS Holdings Ltd trademarked two new names – TVS E-XL and TVS XL EV. Both these trademarks have been accepted and advertised as per the trademark information revealed by the portal. One of these is very highly likely to be used on upcoming TVS electric XL.TVS XL EV Name TrademarkedPatent design reveals key infoLast year, the patent design for an electric version of XL 100 was leaked and surfaced on the internet. The workhorse XL was getting the electric treatment and there were not many changes other than powertrain. As revealed in the patent images, TVS is mounting electric batteries directly below the main frame.This is the area where ICE TVS XL 100 had its engine. Interestingly, TVS is not going the hub motor route. Instead, leaked patent images show a mid-mounted motor along with a chain drive to the rear sprocket driving rear wheel. Other than that, it is pretty much the same XL that we have seen before.There will be a different instrument cluster on TVS XL EV, showing various parameters regarding its electric powertrain. Componentry remain more or less identical to ICE XL 100. RSU telescopic front forks, twin shock absorbers at the rear, wire-spoke wheels with tube type tyres (16-inch wheels likely).TVS E-XL Name TrademarkedThe battery could be around 2 kWh in capacity with a total of 100 km claimed range on a full charge. Apples to Apples, TVS XL EV will lock its horns with recently launched Kinetic E-Luna. Speaking of, E-Luna costs Rs. 70K (ex-sh) and we can expect a lower price for TVS XL EV or TVS E-XL. ICE version, XL 100, starts from a base price of Rs. 46K. More

      Mahindra XUV 7XO, 5XO, 3XO, 1XO Names Registered – For Upcoming Electric SUVs

      by

      Mahindra XUV 7XO, 5XO, 3XO, 1XO Names Registered. Image – Shantanu GodaseNames like XUV 7XO, XUV 5XO, XUV 3XO, XUV 1XO are easy to remember and establish a clear differentiation between respective ICE and EV modelsIn a couple of years from now, Mahindra will have expanded its EV portfolio to include multiple new products. The names for these new EVs are also being worked out. It appears that Mahindra is keen on picking some short, trendy names, in line with the dynamic profile of its upcoming EVs.Mahindra Trademarks XUV 7XO, XUV 5XO, XUV 3XO, XUV 1XOInstead of choosing entirely new names for its upcoming EVs, Mahindra seems to be using a derivative of its existing naming convention. The newly trademarked names XUV 7XO, XUV 5XO, XUV 3XO, XUV 1XO are apparently the EV versions of XUV700, XUV500, XUV300 and an all new small SUV EV. It is likely that these new names will be used for production versions of the XUV EV concepts which were shown earlier.Mahindra XUV 1XO Name RegisteredThe addition of X in the new names links it to the electric underpinnings and the letter ending with O meets Mahindra’s tradition of vehicle naming (Bolero, Scorpio, Marazzo, etc). While they also relate to their ICE versions, the names are short, crisp and easy to remember. A high recall value is expected, similar to the names of the ICE models.Mahindra XUV 7XO, XUV 5XO, XUV 3XO, XUV 1XO – Expected featuresExcluding the closed-off grille, several of the styling bits will be common across the ICE and EV models of XUV700 and XUV300. The equipment list will also have a similar set of features. The EV versions will probably be able to support a higher number of tech features.Mahindra XUV 3XO Name RegisteredFor its born-electric range, Mahindra is working on multiple segment-first features. For example, a test mule of XUV.e9 was recently spotted with a triple-screen dashboard. While being functionally relevant, it significantly enhances cabin aesthetics. The triple-screen unit covers almost the entire width of the dash. It helps achieve a symmetrical design format, which is not possible with the popular dual-screen setup seen with many SUVs.Mahindra XUV 5XO Name RegisteredIt is possible that the XUV 7XO and 5XO could get this new triple-screen dash. In comparison, XUV 3XO and X1O may continue with a solo touchscreen infotainment system. Bigger SUVs could get additional connectivity and safety features. The ADAS kit could be expanded in the case of XUV 7XO and 5XO. XUV 3XO and 1XO could also get some of the critical ADAS features such as blind spot detection, traffic sign recognition and driver drowsiness detection.Mahindra XUV 7XO, XUV 5XO, XUV 3XO, XUV 1XO – Expected range, battery specsUpcoming Mahindra EVs will be based on the new INGLO architecture. Battery packs will be in the range of 60 kWh to 80 kWh for the bigger SUVs. While XUV 7XO and 5XO could get both single-motor and dual-motor AWD options, the XUV 3XO and 1XO are likely to be offered with only a single electric motor. Detailed specs are yet to be revealed, although the new INGLO platform promises significant improvements across performance, drive comfort and versatility.Mahindra XUV 5XO Name RegisteredXUV 7XO, 5XO and XUV 3XO will have a range upwards of 400-450 km while XUV1XO could have a range of about 200-250 kms. With rapid progress in charging infrastructure, an extraordinary high range may not be required. Also, the focus is shifting on achieving a faster recharge. This allows users to load up quickly within minutes and resume their journey. However, experiments with newer battery technologies continue that can deliver a much higher range.Mahindra XUV 7XO, 5XO, 3XO, 1XO Names Registered More

      Electric Car Sales Feb 2024 – Tata, MG, Mahindra, BYD, Kia, Mercedes, BMW, Audi

      by

      Hyundai Ioniq 5Improved accessibility to charging stations, which is found to be sorely lacking as on date, are vital to the growth of electric passenger cars in IndiaEven as the Indian automobile sector is being continually nourished with new and improved electric vehicles, the lack of charging stations at strategic points is hindering progress. According to Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA) electric passenger vehicle penetration is at around 1.5 to 2 percent while EV two wheeler penetration stands at 5 to 5.5 percent.
