Luxury four-wheelers with internal combustion engines continue to dominate the Indian automobile market and will probably continue doing so into 2030, as per Senior executives at Bosch Ltd. Taking this possibility into account, automobile manufacturers are all set to come up with new versions of their existing luxury sedans, while international brands are likely to introduce their premium and flagship models in the country within this year.

Here are some of the factors that make EVs more efficient than oil-based vehicles.

• There aren’t any smoke and gas emissions, which makes these models more eco-friendly.
• Lesser maintenance requirements reduce the overall usage cost in the long run.
• Electric vehicles generate less noise compared to IC-engine cars.
• Switching to electricity from oil-based fuels reduces dependability on non-renewable sources.

Now that you have a comprehensive insight into the variety of upcoming sedan cars in India gauge all relevant factors before picking your favourite by the time these go live on sale. It won’t be too long before the wait is over!

Electric vehicles are all the rage right now, globally. With the introduction of luxury EVs in the Indian market, consumers are gradually considering lapping up the revolution. Look at the top players in the sedan segment that will arrive later this year, and be prepared to choose the right one for you!
