Best Electric Hatchbacks Under Rs 12 Lakh – A Complete Look at India’s Upcoming City EVs for 2025

Best Electric Hatchbacks Under Rs 12 Lakh – Till about the end of 2025, India can expect to see many good-looking models in the hatchback segment for under ₹12 lakh-steeped with glamour and good looks, performance, and extremely low maintenance. Electric cars are now ranked among the best-performing city vehicles for short-distance commuting. Loaded with maximum tech, these hatchbacks are designed to maximise fast charging and long range. Lastly, they are meant to look elegant while zipping through city traffic and parking in style.

Tata Tiago EV

If anything, this Tata Tiago EV is the last of all in this list, and hatchback-wise, it satisfies everything that truly city driving requires. Range-wise, it is quite liberal towards city driving, and fast charging would be a plus. Interiors are rather simple but provide reasonable comfort, with an infotainment system for entertainment and navigation. Suspension is soft, and steering is light, making city riding very pleasurable.

MG Comet EV

In terms of drama, the MG Comet EV bears a lot of significance when it comes to city use; it is equally good-looking from the outside as it is very smart-looking inside. With a performance metric of about 200-250 km, it serves the purposes of city commute well. Fast charging adds some acceleration to battery charging. The user interfaces for both infotainment and HVAC would appear pretty easy to use. And look at the great lighting through the overall pothole-laden city.

Mahindra eKUV100

The eKUV100 from Mahindra appears to be sassy in its upper towns; under electric, a hatchback seems quite worth the price at ₹12 lakh. Ideally, city-wise, its range would be 150-200 km. Offering relaxed seating, the interiors ensure decent headroom and knee space while scoring fair points on infotainment and connectivity. Well-placed handling and parking ability are also commendable for a nimble city runner.

Hyundai Kona EV 

The Hyundai Kona Electric hatchback EV, which is expected to be priced at around ₹12 lakhs, would surely have a decent performance for city conditions in terms of both battery and motor. The cabin of the Hyundai Kona Electric hatchback is very sporty, modern in style, and comfortable. A touch-screen entertainment system with safety features should be a reasonable assumption, considering the market. City: Comfortable, Short highway trips: Okay.

All four hatchback EVs below 12 lakhs serve the purpose of an ideal means of transport for those with daily city commutes. The Tata Tiago EV is an embodiment of small and somewhat practical; the MG Comet EV is chic and fashionable. The Mahindra eKUV100 is very comfortable and spacious, while the Hyundai Kona EV still manages a respectable standard in terms of technology and performance. They are pretty tailor-made in their workings and come with much less cost for a comfortable drive.
