330km so actually only 200 miles range

Looks ok. A modern Citroen C3 Picasso?
?

Fantastic spiel and price looks good

Looks like they, concentrated on a more classy car instead of range.
Is the average Indian drive short?

200 miles from 38kWh isn't exactly short ... that's >5 miles per kWh! But that's 200 miles (or 332km to be precise) per the MIDC test protocol - I've no idea how that relates to WLTP, although the article below has some info. I'm guessing that MIDC is similar to NEDC in the US, where the theoretical range is way more than actuality, and even more wildly out than WLTP.

The RDE norms are now active on new cars, SUVs from April 1, 2023. We take a closer look at how the tests are conducted.

50 degrees C and a massive glass sunroof, that will keep your bhajis warm. I quite like it , bigger motor and battery and could be a Scenic beater.

200 miles from a 38 kWh battery is darned good.

As per my earlier post, that's wildly overestimated ... the MIDC standard seems to be like the US's old NEDC standard, both of which overestimate even more than the WLTP standard. I'd imagine that real world range from 38kWh would be 150 miles at best, probably nearer 120 miles.

Especially in our climate.

Although this is aimed at India so they're less likely to get really cold conditions. (Except in the mountains in the north).

Nope, 200 miles from a 38kWh battery is a lie! (Unless you can do 200 miles at 30mph in Delhi)

I've never driven in Dehli, but that wouldn't surprise me.

You'd need a 38 kwh battery just for the horn in Delhi.
