Citroen eC3<\/h3>\n\n\nThe Citroen C3 created quite a buzz when it was first launched. Dubbed as a \u201chatchback with a twist\u201d, the C3 is all set to arrive in an EV avatar in February 2023 as the Citroen eC3. Equipped with a 29.2 kWh battery pack paired with an electric motor producing 57PS of power with 143 Nm, the eC3 will offer a range of 320 km on a single charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While the hatchback will retain the looks offered by the ICE version of the C3, the electric version will feature minor interior changes. Overall, the eC3 will be tough competition for the Tiago EV and offer a better boot space of 315 litres. Expected to be priced at around 8.99 Lakh, the Citroen eC3 has the potential to make the carmaker a mass market name.<\/p>\n\n\n

Expected to launch around April\/May 2023, the MG Air EV will be the country\u2019s smallest EV at only 2900 mm of length. Offered as the perfect companion for the city, the Air EV, despite its small size, will offer a high range of about 200 to 300 km on a single charge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Expected to utilise a 20-25 kWh LFP-cell battery, the compact EV will likely be powered by a single, front-axle motor with a power output of around 50kW. Much like every other MG car, the Air EV will also offer a host of segment-first features that will change how Indians perceive compact cars. However, the Air EV’s price tag will likely be higher at around Rs. 10.5 Lakh.<\/p>\n\n\n

After the success of the Tigor EV, Tiago EV, and Nexon EV, the Altroz EV will open the gates for consumers looking for a dynamic, feature-rich and balanced premium hatchback in an EV form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the news of the Altroz\u2019s official launch hinted at by the carmaker at the Auto Expo 2023, we can expect the EV to arrive as early as mid-2023. Based on Tata\u2019s tried and tested ALFA platform, the Altroz EV will likely share the Nexon EV\u2019s 30.2 kWh battery pack mated to a PMS electric motor. The hatchback will likely offer a range of more than 350 kms on a single charge. In terms of pricing, expect a price tag of around 14 to 16 Lakh.<\/p>\n\n\n

With Maruti ditching the Diesel engine, the Swift lost many loyal fans looking for better power and mileage. Now, with the Swift Hybrid expected to arrive, the hatchback will attract a much stronger consumer base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First showcased at the Auto Expo 2020, the Swift Hybrid is reportedly close to its launch. Expected to launch around September 2023, the Swift Hybrid will likely be offered an electric motor coupled with a 1.2-litre petrol engine and a lithium-ion battery pack. With additional features onboard, the Swift Hybrid is expected to deliver exciting driving dynamics and efficiency as high as 32 to 35 kmpl. Likely to be launched for a price starting at Rs. 10 lakh, the Swift Hybrid will surely change the game.<\/p>\n\n\n

With a plan to launch several vehicles in the coming years, the first of many from MG will be the MG 3 premium hatchback. Already a success in the UK market, the MG 3 is expected to arrive in India around December 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sharing design cues with the Astor, the MG 3 is an elegant yet sporty hatchback that will be offered at a highly competitive price tag starting from around 6 Lakh (Ex-Showroom). Much like all other MG Cars, the MG3 will also offer a host of premium features and a luxurious cabin. Power-wise, the MG 3 globally is powered by a 1.5-litre petrol engine with a manual and a CVT gearbox. In India, the hatchback is likely to retain the engine with little tweaks.<\/p>\n\n\n

Powered by an EM57 electric motor mated to a 40 kWh battery pack, the Leaf will offer a range of around 350 km on a single charge. Expected to launch anytime around late 2023 to early 2024, the premium electric hatchback will likely be priced at around 30 to 35 Lakh, rivalling the Hyundai Kona and even the Hyundai Ioniq 5.<\/p>\n\n\n
