India-based carmaker Pravaig has been officially present in the country for more than a decade, but it has only introduced its first production car now. Called the Defy, it is an all-electric crossover SUV set to reach the showrooms next spring.
Powering the soft-roader are a pair of electric motors driving the wheels with 407 PS (402 hp / 300 kW) and 620 Nm (455 lb-ft) of torque. Sprinting from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) is a matter of 4.9 seconds, and the top speed is 210 km/h (130 mph). A 90.9-kWh traction battery grants up to 500 km (310 miles) of range when topped up.
A single look at the exterior is enough to get strong Range Rover vibes, and Pravaig openly admits it ‘drew inspiration’ from the British classic. The car shown here is a pre-production sample, but the company says the rear end, the headlights, the suicide doors and the pull-out door handles will definitely make it into production.
In its most basic form, the EV will come equipped with a 10-inch digital dashboard, a 15.6-inch infotainment screen and two displays in the back row. Panoramic sunroof, 5G support and wireless charging are listed under options.
