Top 5 Electric Cars Launching in India (Aug–Dec 2025)

As India’s electric‑vehicle revolution accelerates, the period between August and December 2025 is shaping up to be a landmark moment. From global brands arriving on home turf to long‑awaited domestic EVs rolling out, here’s what’s capturing attention—and curiosity—on the ground.

1. Mahindra BE 07 – Mid‑August 2025

Slated for an August 15 debut, the BE 07 is poised to be Mahindra’s first big‑ticket midsize electric SUV in India. Priced at around ₹29 lakh ex‑showroom, it’s built on the INGLO platform and promises ~450 km of range with spacious seating and modern interiors. In conversations with engineers, one insider hinted at a “layer of refinement in driving quality compared to the BE 6” — a sign Mahindra aims high.

2. VinFast VF 7 – Mid to Late August 2025

Vietnam‑based VinFast will introduce the VF 7 electric SUV in India around August 18, soon after unveiling its first local factory in Tamil Nadu. This well‑equipped mid‑sizer offers both FWD and AWD trims, with 450 km WLTP range, Level 2 ADAS, 8‑airbags, HUD, and a 15″ touchscreen. It’s clearly aiming to steal attention from established players with a feature‑rich value pitch.

3. Tata Harrier EV – Already Rolling Out (June to August 2025)

While launched in June and deliveries starting in early August, the Harrier EV continues to dominate headlines with its AWD dual‑motor options (up to 627 km range), fast charging, and ADAS tech. Costing ₹21.5 lakh upward, it asserts Tata’s leadership in mid‑size EVs. A Harrier EV owner in Bangalore told me: “It feels like the EV market matured overnight.”

4. Mahindra XEV 9e – Late 2025

Targeting late‑year rollout, the XEV 9e is Mahindra’s coupe‑SUV with dual battery options (59 kWh and 79 kWh), up to ~656 km MIDC range, dual‑screen digital cockpit, and a Bharat NCAP five‑star safety rating. Priced in ₹22–30 lakh range, its sweeping roofline and tech stack feel next‑gen—and built for India’s evolving EV appetite.

5. BMW iX / Audi Q6 e‑tron / Mercedes CLA Electric – Mid‑August 2025 (Premium EV wave)

Luxury brands also join the fray. The BMW iX, Audi Q6 e‑tron, and Mercedes‑Benz CLA Electric are all expected to debut around August 14–15 2025, with ex‑showroom pricing from ₹1 crore and up. These models bring premium battery performance, advanced ADAS, and bespoke interiors—India’s EV segment isn’t just growing, it’s diversifying.

Why August–December 2025 Matters

Several factors converge: India’s EV policy incentives, local assembly ramping up, and VinFast’s new Tamil Nadu plant signaling a manufacturing boom. Domestic brands are pushing into higher segments, and global names are arriving with bold ambitions. On the streets of Delhi and Mumbai, showroom traffic is up and test‑drive bookings are trending.

Voices from the Ground

A Mahindra dealer in Pune noted: “We’re seeing earlier buyers who couldn’t hold cash earlier coming back—they want EVs.” Meanwhile, sustainability‑minded consumers in Gurgaon are joining waiting lists, drawn to features like V2L charging, Driver‑assistance systems, and software updates over the air.

By autumn, India’s EV narrative will no longer be early‑stage—it will be fully in motion. Between Tata’s stalwart execution, Mahindra’s bold designs, and global entrants challenging the order, the latter half of 2025 may well define how Indians choose their daily drivers for the next decade.

There’s a deep excitement in the air, slowed only by infrastructure gaps—and yet, as more EVs hit roads, that momentum feels inevitable.
