Ola’s first electric car to be launched by late 2024 in India
The Indian EV start-up, Ola Electric, has revealed a leaked patent image providing a glimpse of its upcoming electric four-wheeler. The design showcases a minimalistic approach with similarities to the Tesla Model S and Model 3, featuring a sedan silhouette with a coupe-like roofline. The rounded and aerodynamically optimized body panels are accompanied by wheels pushed out towards the edges to accommodate a larger battery.

The front of the car lacks a traditional grille, with the smooth front bumper dominating the fascia and incorporating air intakes on the sides. The headlamp assembly consists of sleek, horizontal lamps connected by an LED light bar, which stretches across the width of the car. The profile reveals an air vent behind the front fender, flush door handles, and a pinched window line. The patent image suggests a dual-tone effect for the roof, potentially with a full glass option. No details of the rear styling have been provided.
Previous teasers from Ola have hinted at the possibility of multiple body styles, including a high-riding crossover. However, it remains uncertain if these variations will be available.
