India’s electric SUV market is gearing up for an exciting 2026 with three major launches. The Leapmotor C10 will arrive early in the year, bringing a premium design and advanced technology. Tata is set to revive its iconic Sierra with an EV version, offering both RWD and AWD for efficiency and performance. Skoda will join the race with the Elroq, a stylish compact SUV featuring multiple battery options and the brand’s new Modern Solid Design. Together, these models promise to make 2026 a landmark year for electric mobility, giving buyers fresh choices that blend innovation, style, and versatility.
1) Leapmotor C10
he Leapmotor C10 is gearing up to enter the Indian market on January 15, 2026, with an expected price of ₹45 lakh. Designed as a premium electric SUV, it blends modern styling, spacious interiors, and advanced technology to appeal to buyers seeking both luxury and sustainability. Early previews suggest features like a panoramic sunroof, smart connectivity, and safety systems that align with global standards, making it a strong contender in the evolving EV space.
Positioned in the mid-premium segment, the C10 will face competition from upcoming models such as the Tata Harrier EV, Mahindra XEV 9e, MG Windsor EV, and Volvo EX40. While Leapmotor is relatively new to Indian buyers, its focus on design and performance could attract those looking for a distinctive alternative. Success, however, will depend on how well it balances pricing, builds brand trust, and adapts to India’s growing EV infrastructure.

2) Tata Sierra EV RWD and AWD
The Tata Sierra EV is set to launch in 2026, bringing both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive options to the market, making it one of Tata’s most versatile electric SUVs. Built on the advanced acti.ev+ platform, it promises faster charging, enhanced safety, and multiple battery choices, positioning itself between the Curvv EV and Harrier EV in Tata’s lineup. Unlike the ICE Sierra, which will get AWD only in 2027, the EV will debut with both layouts right from launch, with production planned at Tata’s Sanand plant. Expected battery packs include a 55kWh unit delivering around 167hp and a larger 65kWh pack with about 238hp, offering buyers a choice between efficiency and performance.
Priced between ₹17.49 lakh and ₹29.48 lakh, the Sierra EV will compete directly with the Hyundai Creta EV, Mahindra BE 6, MG ZS EV, and Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara. Its arrival revives an iconic Tata nameplate with modern electric technology, aiming to attract both urban drivers and adventure seekers. While competition is strong and India’s EV infrastructure still developing, the Sierra EV carries a sense of nostalgia blended with innovation, appealing to buyers who want a balance of heritage and cutting-edge mobility.

3) Skoda Elroq
The Skoda Elroq is set to arrive in India on February 15, 2026, with an expected price of ₹50 lakh, marking the brand’s second all-electric model after the Enyaq. Showcasing Skoda’s new Modern Solid Design, the Elroq blends sharp lines with a compact yet premium silhouette, and has already made its global debut at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025. It will offer multiple battery options ranging from 52kWh to 77kWh, delivering ranges between 370 km and 579 km, along with both rear-wheel-drive and optional all-wheel-drive layouts. Features like a 13-inch infotainment system, heads-up display, wireless charging, ambient lighting, and advanced safety with ADAS highlight its modern appeal.
Positioned below the Kodiaq, the Elroq aims to attract urban buyers who want a stylish yet practical EV capable of long-distance travel. While its pricing places it in direct competition with established global players, Skoda is betting on design, technology, and versatility to carve its space in India’s growing EV market. The challenge will be building brand recognition in the electric space and ensuring that India’s charging infrastructure keeps pace with consumer expectations, but the Elroq carries the promise of a fresh, premium alternative for those ready to embrace electric mobility.
