Our Pravaig Defy Review
The Pravaig Defy is a sedan designed for buyers who want serious long-distance capability without compromising on modern EV comforts. At a starting price of ₹39.50 L ex-showroom, it targets the premium EV segment.
Range & Battery: With a claimed driving range of 500 km from a 55 kWh battery, the Pravaig Defy delivers confidence on highway runs and weekend trips. Expect 400 km real-world range in mixed conditions — roughly 80% of the ARAI figure, which is realistic for Indian driving.
