Pravaig Extinction MK1: At a glance
The all-electric Pravaig Extinction MK1 has a clean, futuristic, and aerodynamic design, featuring a sloping roofline, a lightly sculpted bonnet, and 'Pravaig' lettering on the rear. It houses a single strip LED DRL between two LED projector headlamps, and three slim strips of LED taillights on the rear. On the sides, the sedan gets sleek, body-colored ORVMs, blacked-out B-pillars, and 17-inch alloy wheels.
Power and performance
The Extinction MK1 draws power from a 96kWh battery pack and an electric motor. The combination delivers 201hp of power and a top-speed of 196km/h. It is touted to run 504km on a single charge and can juice up to 80% in just 30 minutes.
A peek inside the cabin
Pravaig did not reveal the interiors of the Extinction MK1. However, it is expected to offer a 4-seater cabin with sport seats, an air purifier, and a foldable table tray for the rear passengers. It will be fitted with a sound system sourced from Devialet, a French audio technology company. Other features will include a touchscreen infotainment console, parking cameras, and multiple airbags.
How much will it cost?
Pravaig aims to build 250 units of the MK1 annually. They will be primarily used for commercial fleets on a subscription basis. The official pricing and subscription details, however, will be revealed at the time of launch, which will likely take place sometime in 2021.
