Terra Motors, a Japanese EV manufacturer, is expanding its global footprint with the Kyoro electric three-wheeler, priced at Rs. 3.65 lakhs on-road. The Kyoro features an IP67-rated motor, delivers a top speed of 55 km/h, and offers a 200 km range on a single charge, making it well-suited for Indian roads.

This move underscores Terra Motors’ commitment to scaling its electric mobility solutions nationwide and globally.
Three-wheelers, both passenger and cargo, stand to benefit from the Telangana government’s announcement that all EVs will be 100% exempt from road tax and registration fees through December 2026.

Terra’s new e-auto delivers reliable performance for diverse road conditions, with a top speed of over 55 km/h, an extended range of up to 200 km per charge, and an 11.7 kWh battery. Its 2-speed gearbox allows easy hill climbing with up to 22% gradeability and smooth yet quick acceleration. With a 4-hour charging time and low operating costs, it combines compact design with powerful performance. Moreover it offers 5-year warranty, and zero down payment financing options for customers.
“Kyoro is a durable and economical electric vehicle, designed for Indian roads and drivers, and aligns perfectly with Telangana’s green mobility goals. This policy strengthens the financial incentives and simplifies registration, making it an ideal time for dealers to join the EV shift,” said Mr. Go Suzuki, Managing Director, Terra Motors.
Terra has already partnered with leading EV distributors in northern India, where its vehicles have proven popular and profitable. Building on this success, the company is now offering exclusive dealership territories across Hyderabad and other districts, aiming to establish Telangana as a priority EV hub.

Its electric three-wheelers, with proven performance and low running costs, provide dealers with a market-ready and profitable product.
