The Magnus Grand is positioned as India's best affordable EV under Rs 0.1 mn and is built on a dual-frame chassis engineered for stability and durability across varied roads. It is powered by a Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery that carries a class-leading five-year / 75,000 km warranty and is designed to offer extended life and dependable performance. Two premium dual-tone colours, Matcha Green and Ocean Blue, together with gold-finish badging and a digital display, provide contemporary styling while addressing family mobility needs.
