India took one step closer to realizing its electrification dream when it launched the PM Electric Drive Revolution in Innovative Vehicle Enhancement (PM E-DRIVE) scheme, which promises to promote electric mobility, while reducing dependence on fossil fuels. In commemoration of the milestones achieved so far, the Indian Auto Expo 2025 once again gave a glimpse into the electric mobility future, representing the way we drive, commute and connect. The show also educates auto enthusiasts about the latest EV industry trends, promising a better, greener, smarter and responsible tomorrow.

MG Cyberster EV
The MG Cyberster EV is JSW MG Motor India’s first electric vehicle, which debuted in India at the Expo this year. A little about the car’s specifications is that it has a chrome MG emblem and LED projector headlights with LED DRLs up front. The bumper is fitted with a black lower grille with working air vents to cool off the battery pack and electrical components. It takes a sporty and aggressive look with sharp cuts and creases, with the scissor doors being the cherry on top overall. The vehicle is supported by dual-tone alloy wheels up to 20 inches in diameter. Turn indicators are built into the black outside rear-view mirrors.

Innovation Within

The new MG Cyberster will take you into the future with its tri-screen dashboard that includes a 7-inch touchscreen entertainment system and two screens for the driver's display (a 7-inch and a 10.25-inch one). As for comfort, it has AC controls, an 8-speaker Bose music system, 6-way electrically adjustable heated seats with a memory function, and an automatic and foldable roof. As for safety, it has a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), electronic stability control (ESC), and six airbags. It also has other features like active emergency braking and lane-keep assist from advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).

Skoda Vision 7S Concept

In early 2022, Skoda not only gave us a preview of its electric future with the Vision 7S Concept but also showed a change in its design ethos. The latest Vision 7S Concept, unveiled at the Expo, introduces us to Skoda's electrified design language to the Indian market.

This car gives an idea of Skoda’s work in upcoming EVs, particularly hinting about the unique exterior that seemingly appears different from Skoda’s usual designs.

Innovation Within
The Vision 7S Concept displays a panoramic glass roof that elevates the sense of more spaciousness and elegance, ambient lighting, and electrically adjustable seats for the front and middle rows. Inside the car, there is a 14.6-inch touchscreen and an 8-inch digital driver's display, which serve as the focal point, ensuring the driver has a smooth interface. More in terms of innovation, the car has added several wireless phone chargers and an augmented reality (AR) heads-up display.

This car’s concept competes in the EV market with its 89 kWh battery pack and WLTP-rated range of up to 600 km. This battery packs a fast-charging capacity of up to 200 kW, which can be recharged from 10 to 80 percent in around 30 minutes. Through this car, Skoda has once again stayed true to its commitment to performance, convenience, and, of course, design and comfort.

Porsche Macan EV

Porsche Macan EV was introduced early last year, but this time, it marked a new phase for Porsche in the Indian market for electric vehicles. This car is a small SUV that gives you luxury and performance. Distinct from Porsche's iconic and aggressive style, the Macan Electric takes on a transformative style, which is further amplified by its frameless side doors and bright LED headlamps up front. It offers a first-rate, contemporary cabin experience with premium materials inside.

Innovation Within
It has an additional 10.9-inch passenger display, a 12.6-inch digital driver's display, and a 10.9-inch infotainment system. It ensures comfort and convenience with 18-way adjustable front seats, ambient lighting, dual-zone climate control, and an optional head-up display. The audio is a top-tier Bose sound system with 14 speakers. As for assuring safety, the car features advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), ISOFIX mounts, electronic stability control (ESC), eight airbags, and a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS).

The new TVS King EV Max electric three-wheeler is here to quench the thirst of the growing demand for environmentally friendly urban transportation options. This three-wheeler sports a combination of cutting-edge technology and eco-friendly features, while the TVS SmartXonnectTM Bluetooth connectivity suite makes it unique. It promises a top speed of 60 kmph and can accelerate quickly from 0 to 30 km/h in under 3.7 seconds. Word has it that it can also move through 500 mm of water and exhibits 31 percent gradability. Besides that, there are three modes: ECO, City, and Power for operation.

Innovation Within
The three-wheeler provides smart connectivity through its TVS SmartXonnectTM, which is Bluetooth-capable. There is also a cutting-edge fleet management system that sends vehicle diagnostics, alarms, and real-time navigation straight to the user's smartphone. Its powerful 51.2V lithium-ion LFP battery pack charges quickly in only three hours and thirty minutes.

This three-wheeler vouches for a greener, more sustainable urban mobility option, which could take the center stage in urban transportation. It presents a viable option for people looking for economical and environmentally responsible last-mile transportation solutions thanks to its sophisticated electric propulsion, comfort, and connectivity.

Ampere Xyber Concept Motorcycle

The motorcycle is sleek and represents the new age. The tidy side panels covering its upper half and the angular headlight are quite the apple of the eye. The battery appears to be a liquid-cooled device and is placed beneath the rider's seat. The electric motorcycle’s overall appeal is even more enhanced with the split-seat arrangement.

Innovation Within
The two-wheeler can reach a top speed of 100 kmph thanks to its 10kW electric motor and batteries. The bike has a monoshock and an inverted telescopic fork, and disc brakes are used on both ends for braking. The Ampere Xyber Concept incorporates ABS for safety, but the manufacturer hasn't said if it's single-channel or dual-channel.

Additionally, there are a number of cutting-edge features that improve the riding experience in addition to its sheer performance. It also comes with Bluetooth connectivity for linking with smartphones, which allows riders to control music, SMS notifications, and calls right from the screen. The added LED lighting highlights the Xyber's cutting-edge charm and modernization. Other features include ride modes, battery life, available range, speedometer readings, and Google Maps navigation, which are shown on a TFT display.
