The revived Tata Sierra landed 70,000 bookings on day one in India—a number that speaks volumes about market appetite for three-row SUVs in emerging markets.

This isn't hype; it's infrastructure meeting intent.

Mahindra's XUV 3XO EV is the mass-market electric SUV India's been waiting for—or at least the one the market's getting. Autocar India walks through the compact crossover's packaging, interior layout, and powertrain basics. It's competent, affordable, and designed to move units in emerging markets where EV infrastructure is still catching up.
