Bengaluru start-up Pravaig to unveil electric SUV on November 25

Regular Autocar India readers will perhaps be familiar with Pravaig, the Bengaluru-based start-up behind the electric sedan, the Extinction, showcased in July 2020. We had also exclusively driven the car that the company intended to launch for the high-end fleet market and that it had used as a technology test bed.

• Pravaig’s EV SUV to come with fast charging capabilities
• The company had showcased Extinction electric sedan in 2020

Two years on, it appears the company is now ready with its tech as it announced the unveiling of an all-electric SUV on November 25, 2022. In contrast to the Extinction sedan – which was more of a garage-built prototype – the electric SUV looks more production-ready going by the teasers released. The styling gives off a more mature feel, and the design is quite minimalistic, seemingly dominated by edges.

In profile, the SUV has a sharply raked front and rear windscreen, and flared front fenders. A twin sunroof is also visible. At the rear, the tail-lights stretch across the SUV with a fine red LED strip topping it.

Pravaig says the electric SUV will have a range above 500km and a top speed of over 200kph, as well as fast charging capabilities. Other features that could be expected are bits the company had announced for its Extinction sedan, like a PM 2.5 air filtration system, and a premium sound system from French firm Devialet. The company had in the past also said its product would secure a 5-star crash rating. Not much else is known so far, thus it remains to be seen what the company’s plans are for itself and its products, and its business model.
