How will Mahindra Thar Electric look like? SUV will be equipped with powerful features
By: Part phase , updated on: 18 August 2025, 13:12 pm
Santosh Iyer, MD of Mercedes-Benz India, talked about the recent bounce about EV growth, trump tariffs and the benefits of entering the market.
Santosh Iyer, MD of Mercedes-Benz India, talked about the recent bounce about EV growth, trump tariffs and the benefits of entering the market.
See personal offer
Inquiry motion
Santosh Iyer, MD of Mercedes-Benz India, is carefully optimistic about India's entry into the EV market. The recent launch of CLE 53 AMG speaking-a 449hp, straight-six petrol-operated sports coupes which are 10th AMG model in the brand's India Line-up-Ayer blamed the stable yoy development of EVS for several reasons, including the availability of a comprehensive range and expansion of retail touch points across the country. “Today, only 30% of India's customers sell touch points in any form. And this growth is 10%, so there are more customers who are now educated about EVS, and this driving is developing”.
The EVS has seen widespread acceptance in the luxury market, the higher class offering luxury EVS, due to TCOs which are equal or less than ice counterparts and have smooth and silent nature of EV powertrain. “8-9% of the market entry into the luxury segment,” Iyer says, avoiding guessing what will be the entry into the luxury EV market by 2030. “We do not want to put a number or a target in terms of entry into the estimated market by 2030. Determine the speed of change,” Iyer says. “The first cycle of EV ownership needs to be fulfilled to gain confidence for more customers”
On Tesla's arrival
Mercedes-Benz India-Paljari EV is surprised by the arrival of Tesla, one of the leading players in the Space. тАЬThe price point at which the Tesla operates, we work in single digits in the section, because our sales mainly come from above 60 million sections. It goes up all the way 7-8 crores, so we feel untouched. Not from the perspective of the volume, “accepts Iyer, due to innovation that American EV manufacturers are currently enjoying.
Iyer also admits that while the current mode of Tesla's operation (via the CBU route) will not enrich the local EV supply chain in any significant way, it helps to promote the image of EVS. “I think, even with two outlets, you have a lot of people and are examining Teslas.
At ethanol combination
With public sentiment around the ownership of the car due to the government's new E20 fuel mandate, Iyer feels that the luxury section remains relatively unaffected because most luxury brands, as Mercedes-Benz, brought E20 compatibility throughout their portfolio before the mandate was set. “Mass market segment is highly price sensitive, so car manufacturer does a car engineer for the need of the day, while the luxury segment, you can engineer it for tomorrow”
However, public anxiety remains not only around the current mixture of petrol, but also the assumption that the sale of ahead of E27 can affect the sale of snow vehicles, close to 2030. Iyer, however, rejects the perception. “I think the policy makers are clear that the E20 is maximum and anything more than that will be implemented in a selective manner. E100, for example, cannot be from a technical point of view”. Union Road Transport and Highway Minister Nitin Gadkari announced that Iyer's statement came a day ago that the future of fuel would be 100% ethanol. However, the central government has not announced any clear roadmap towards the E27 level combination at this time. Iyer says, “Before we introduced a BSVI-influence fleet, we engineered our cars for low fuel ratings,” saying that the government was very clear about implementing 20% ethanol mixture in petrol sold across the country. “Everyone knows that E20 is coming. Does everyone engineer their cars on the basis of that requirement? Can't be the answer.
Mercedes-Benz became a more integral part of the global supply chain
Asked if the brand is somehow affected by the American tariff, Iyer remained optimistic. “I think the tariff position can be seen in both ways. I would say that on one hand we have US tariffs, but also positive results. India is actively discussing an FTA with Europe. We have an FTA with UK, Australia and Middle East (UAE). If you see the opportunity there, it's big if it is big”
“There is a lot of noise about the import of cars to be imported, but I would say that there is a big opportunity for the export of components in other markets. Because India's component ecosystem is very mature and capable. We need to see what is necessary for us for localization in India. For example, in e-class, all glass components on the vehicle are localized”.
Does this mean that Mercedes-Benz India has intended to export components as it has been in the past, as well as with a locally built GLC model, which was being briefly exported to markets like America? “Our plant is designed for India and dedicated to India; it is a manufacturing set-up. Our focus is not on exports. We are designed to meet local needs”

India's 'Bhakal' will be held around the world, Tata will enter this big market
New Delhi. Amidst the glut of electric SUV in the market, Kia Carens Clavis Ev looks like a fresh air. It focuses more on EV power, performance, range and some off-road features. This electric car of Kia is made keeping in mind the family who prefer to travel together. Kia ran India's first 7-seat mass-market EV, which comes with 42 kwh and 51.4 kwh battery options.
How is the design? The design is like Carens Clavis Ice (petrol and diesel), but there are some fine differences – EV has air flaps for closed grills, separate alloy wheels, 'EV' badging and low drag. The cabin has a center console with 'floating design', gear lever has been transferred behind the steering wheel (as a stock), the instrument cluster has information like range/charge in the instrument cluster, besides a small front trunk below the bonnet.
How is the cabin?
Klavis EV has a fairly practical cabin-the second row seats can slide/relieve, and the third is an one-tach electric tumble for easy access to the row. 'Boss mode' lets you shift the front passenger seat from behind. Adults of average size in third row can easily fit, and the flat floor comfort up.
The driver's seating position is good, the road has a commanding view. Gear stock has to flick to go from P to R to R. Because there is a battery pack in the floor, the seating position is high. The suspension sounds a bit hard (for extra battery weight), the rest of the back seat is good, and the legroom looks better than the Creta Electric, with which it shares the platform and the battery pack.
What is i-Pedal?
There is a technique in this EV called I-Pedal. You have to set the braking on a maximum level using paddle shifters behind the steering wheel (and the maximum level is I-Pedal). Then, as soon as you remove your foot from the accelerator, the car slows down very fast. In stop-end-go traffic, it means that you will not have to use a brake pedal at all.
What is the True Range? Where Kia claims a range of 490 km, the Test car showed a 384 km real world range, not enough for long trips, but with the right driving a family can travel from Delhi to Jaipur/Agra/Chandigarh or Mumbai to Nashik/Pune. Should you buy it? The 42-KWH variant is priced at Rs 17.99-20.49 lakhs, and the 51.4-KWH variant is priced at Rs 22.49-24.49 lakhs. It is in the same range of Creta Electric, but Kia also has more space, a little long range, fast charging and seven seats options.

Mahindra will break the pride of Creta and Nexon, preparing new powerful SUV
Volkswagen is charging a huge amount for owners of ID.3 Pure EV to highlight the entire power.
Volkswagen is charging a huge amount for owners of ID.3 Pure EV to highlight the entire power. (AFP)
Autometers are searching for new ways to generate revenue. With increased penetration of digitalization and telematics in modern vehicles, this trend is increasing. Volkswagen has opted for this strategy in the UK. The German auto giant is selling Volkswagen ID 3 pure in the UK market, where the company is charging an additional fee to unlock more horsepower to customers that have already been made in cars.
Entry-Level Volkswagen ID.3 Pure model is listed as 165 bhp peak power on Volkswagen's configuor, but is actually just 145 bhp. To use complete power generation of the vehicle, customers have to pay an additional fee. In short, Volkswagen is charging more to give customers the strength to their cars that they already have.
Volkswagen says that this membership fee reflects traditional trim strategies with various engine tuning. Furthermore, despite this small boost, OEM says the overall limit of ID.3 will not change. Volkswagen ID.3 Pure EV customers in the UK will have to perform an additional $ 22.50 per month for this power output unlocking. Customers can abandon monthly troubles and choose to pay a one -time lifetime of $ 878, which is actually too much cash for a minor performance collision.
Volkswagen defends additional chargers
Volkswagen has compared this strategy to the traditional engine lineup, where the same displacement can be introduced to the tune of many states at different price points. “It is not new to provide more power to customers … these are traditionally more in the product range, with more specifications and a high list price. If customers want another sports driving experience, [201bhp]With a very clear choice for customers, “the company has said Autoexpress.
