While Balbir did not mention which models are coming to our shores, we can expect at least one of them to be an electric car. In July, post the launch of the e-tron range, Dhillon told carandbike that the company will bring at least one more electric car to India this year. While details regarding the upcoming EV model were not shared, globally the e-tron GT and the RS e-tron GT four-door coupe sedans are the only electric models on sale, apart from the e-tron SUVs. So, chances of one of them, or both coming to India are very much plausible.
