BYD Seal

The first vehicle on this list is the BYD Seal. It is a performance electric car from the Chinese auto giant which rivals the Tesla Model 3 abroad. After the e6 and Atto 3, BYD will introduce the Seal in India this month. For the Indian market, the Seal could feature a dual-motor setup and offer a choice between two battery packs – a 61.4 kWh option or an 82.5 kWh option. The smaller battery provides a range of 550 km, while the larger one extends the EV’s range to 700 km (CLTC) on a single charge. Charging for the smaller battery is facilitated by a 110 kW DC fast charger, while the larger one can utilize a 150 kW DC fast charger. Combined, these components generate a robust 523 hp, enabling the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds. It proudly holds a full 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating. Its dimensions measure 4,800 mm in length, 1,875 mm in width, and 1,460 mm in height. The new model retails for a starting price of Rs 41 lakhs (ex-showroom).

Mahindra XUV300 Facelift

Then we have the Mahindra XUV300 facelift on this list, which will launch around the month-end. It is a compact SUV which has been around for a long time in our market. A facelift of the SUV is long overdue. In fact, we have spotted it testing on our roads on multiple occasions in recent times. Apart from the aesthetic changes and feature enhancements, we don’t think there will be any changes to the engine options. The vehicle is expected to maintain the 1.2-litre 3-cylinder turbo petrol engine, available in two versions – one delivering 110 hp and 200 Nm, and the other producing 130 hp and 230 Nm of peak power and torque. Furthermore, there will be a 1.5-litre diesel engine with an output of 115 hp and 300 Nm. Both engines will offer the choice of a 6-speed manual transmission or an AMT gearbox.
