Mumbai : French carmaker Groupe PSA is planning to focus on cleaner fuel including electric powertrain and SUVs for its Citroen brand to carve a space for itself in the highly competitive Indian passenger vehicle market.
Groupe PSA is working on a mass market small electric SUV codenamed eCC21, which is likely to be priced around Rs 8 lakh and hit theIndian roads in 2022, probably before Hyundai brings the first car under the Korean company’s Smart EV project.
It will compete with the existing Mahindra E-KUV-100 as well as Tata Motors’ HBX small SUV and Renault’s Kwid EV which are likely to come with electric powertrains in the next 12-24 months. Maruti Suzuki too has plans for WagonR EV, which is under development, however its launch has been deferred. Toyota is likely to share the same WagonR EV.
