The Indian electric vehicle (EV) market is steadily gaining momentum. In response to growing demand, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are planning to introduce several new models in the coming years. While many EVs currently available in India are expensive, companies like MG and Tata have offered more affordable options such as the Comet EV, Windsor EV, Tiago EV, and Punch EV. However, the compact SUV segment still has limited choices. This will change in 2026, as at least four new affordable compact electric SUVs are slated to hit Indian roads. These include the Mahindra XUV 3XO EV, Kia Syros EV, Vinfast VF3, and Hyundai Inster EV.
