Pravaig Dynamics is a Bengaluru-based electric vehicle company that is going to enter the luxury vehicle market. Its first premium electric SUV Defy is claimed to be a ‘flagship killer’ that is going to challenge many luxury EV cars in the market. The car is expected to break cover on November 25 with unbelievable range and performance specifications.
Pravaig has been teasing the Defy electric SUV for some time now. Prior to the official unveiling, the company revealed some key performance figures. Defy a five-seater premium electric SUV, is not the first product from the startup. It had earlier showcased its first electric sedan called Extinction MK1 which claimed to offer a range of more than 500 km on a single charge and a top speed of around 200 kmph. However, the two-door, four-seater electric car did not make it commercially after its debut more than two years ago. According to information shared by Pravaig, the Defy electric SUV is likely to match, if not better, some of the performance credentials.
The company claims the EV will offer 504 km of range on a single charge. This potentially puts it among EVs in India with the longest range. The battery would be able to charge up to 80 percent in just 30 minutes. This means that the electric SUV does come with DC fast charging. Things get better with Pravaig’s claim of Defy’s power and torque figures.

The EV startup claims the EV will offer 402 hp of power and 620 Nm of peak torque. The power output is almost similar to that of the Volvo XC40 Recharge, Kia EV6, and even the Audi e-Tron electric SUV. The manufacturer says that the electric SUV would be able to hit a top speed of 210 kmph.
According to the manufacturer, the electric SUV would be able to hit 0-100 kmph in 4.9 seconds, almost as quick as some of the quickest EVs on Indian roads. Pravaig says the Defy will come with on-board wifi, a 15-inch desk for laptops, a limousine partition, 220V sockets for charging devices, an air quality index with PM 2.5 air filter, vanity mirrors, a premium sound system, a USB socket, and wireless charging. The screens would support MirrorLink. However, it is important to note that the features that make their way to the production-spec electric SUV will be revealed once the vehicle is unveiled. Recently luxury car makers from other countries are entering the Indian market. The growth of Electric luxury cars in India is expected to increase gradually over years.
