Pravaig Defy

The Pravaig Defy SUV is powered by two electric motors that produce 407hp and 620Nm. With this amount of power, the Defy competes with SUVs like the Jaguar iPace, Audi e-tron, and Mercedes-Benz EQC. The SUV also has three degrees of regeneration, allowing for one-pedal driving, as well as four-wheel disc brakes with ABS and ESP.

The interior of the Defy SUV is constructed of sustainable fabrics (recycled materials such as PET), and the upholstery is vegan leather. The seats have six-way power adjustment and ventilation, and they can self-adjust to the cabin temperature. The dashboard features a big 15.6-inch touchscreen display that allows users to browse the internet while also serving as a navigation screen thanks to 5G connectivity. According to the brand, the infotainment system will also have on-board gaming, with the ability to install more games via over-the-air (OTA) updates.

A separate 10-inch screen behind the steering wheel handles instrumentation chores, and this panel is likewise configurable and adaptive based on the driving mode. According to Pravaig, the Defy SUV would also include 3D sound from French audio expert firm Devialet.

Features Include:

• Separate climate control zones for front and back passengers.
• Interiors that can be pre-conditioned via the linked car app
• Standard with mood lighting, as well as various wireless chargers and two high-power USB-C connectors that can charge laptops.
• The SUV will come with its own key card, but it can be locked and unlocked using connected car technology.
• Adaptive LED lighting, a 360-degree video system, and a 77GHz solid-state radar.
• Will in future have autonomous emergency braking, which will be enabled via an OTA update, as well as a tyre pressure monitoring system and six airbags as standard.

The Pravaig Defy features angular styling that gives it a butch appearance with crossover characteristics. The aesthetic theme is called "brutal sophistication" by the brand, but the SUV does contain some styling elements that resemble Range Rover SUVs. The front style has sharp cuts and an LED light bar that spans its width.

In terms of profile, the upper half of the SUV is painted black, and the glasshouse appears large, but the angular windows and sloping roof give it a dynamic appearance. A strong character line extends across the width of the rear fender and perfectly integrates with the tailgate and horizontally mounted LED light bar.

The SUV has a "particularly dynamic" design, according to Pravaig, with a drag coefficient of 0.33. The manufacturer also stated that the Defy SUV borrows aesthetic influences from the Extinction MK1, their EV sportscar demonstrator that we previously drove. The SUV will come standard with a panoramic fixed roof.

The Defy EV SUV is outfitted with 18-inch alloy wheels and 255/65R18 tires. It also has optional "aero covers," which the brand claims will add 10km or more range per charge, especially on the highway.
