Hyundai has finally launched the ICE version for the Indian Market but now it also wants to launch the electric version as well.

Kia had showcased the EV9 at the Auto Expo 2023 in January, and then few months later launched their flagship three-row SUV in South Korea, and other markets. Kia confirmed that its looking to expand the reach of EV9 to other international markets, and one of them confirmed to launch is India. The EV9 measures more than 5 Meters in Length, and is built on their Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP). Kia claims the EV9 on a single charge can travel up to 541 KMs, and is offered in two variants.
The Standard trim comes with 76.1 kWh battery pack with a single motor powering the rear wheels producing 214.5 BHP and 350 NM of torque and sprints from 0 – 100 KMPH in 8.2 seconds at a 185 KMPH top speed. Then there is the long range trim with 99.8 kWh battery pack with two drive-type options – Rear-Wheel-Drive (RWD) which has a single motor producing 201 BHP and 350 NM torque and does 0 – 100 KMPH in 9.4 Seconds. Another Option is the All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) with dual motor setup generating 380 BHP and 600 NM of torque and accelerates from 0 – 100 KMPH in 5.3 seconds at 200 KMPH top speed.
The Kia EV9 was tested at the European NCAP (ENCAP) and scored 5 Star Safety Rating, Hence, when it launches in India, Kia would likely send the EV9 to the Bharat NCAP (BNCAP) and since the BNCAP and GNCAP (Global NCAP) are similar, the EV9 could scored 5 Star Safety Rating as well.
Tata Motors few months launched the ICE Harrier and Safari Facelift, and the design changes they made were inspired directly from their own concept SUV, Curvv. Although Tata had unveiled the Harrier EV at the Auto Expo 2023, it’s still possible both the EVs will undergo subtle design changes. Notably, Tata was endorsing the Harrier.ev with 4×4 capability which ICE Harrier Facelift isn’t endorsed with that.
At the Auto Expo 2023, the Harrier.ev design was similar to the ICE version like the connected S-style LED taillamps. The front face was covered with body-coloured element that had horizontal thin slats on it, and different alloy wheel design for improved aerodynamic efficiency. The same can be said for the Safari.ev except the rear profile has wraparound connected taillamps, and slightly different front fascia.
The interiors will be the same as the ICE version such as the 12.3-inch infotainment system, 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, four-spoke steering wheel with Tata logo illumination display, touch-sensitive controls for climate control, panoramic sunroof, and more. It could sport single motor setup for either Rear-Wheel-Drive or Front-Wheel-Drive Type, or twin motor setup enabling All-Wheel-Drive which could be good for 4×4. We can expect it to have range of 500+ KMs.
