Maruti WagonR Electric and other mass‑segment EVs

Budget‑friendly EVs expected around 2026

Several upcoming‑EV lists show Maruti WagonR Electric and other compact EVs with “expected” launch dates around 2026, often placeholder dates like mid‑January 2026, indicating a likely 2026 window rather than a locked day.

These models are expected to prioritize affordability, city range and low running costs over performance, and will be key to EV adoption in tier‑2 and tier‑3 markets once officially announced.

Focus: affordability + city use
