The official launch is scheduled for August 18.

Set to be launched on September 4, 2023, in Mumbai, the Volvo C40 Recharge features a coupe-like roofline and shares similarities with the XC40 Recharge. Equipped with twin electric motors, it has a power output of 402 bhp and 660 Nm. The claimed range of the vehicle is 530 km.

3. Honda Elevate:
The Honda Elevate, based on the fifth-gen City architecture, is a five-seater with a 1.5L NA four-cylinder petrol engine. It produces a maximum power output of 121 PS and 145 Nm and can be paired with a six-speed manual transmission or a CVT.
