The Triton Model H electric SUV is all set to launch next week, and we have the first live images of the upcoming car to share with you. These pictures were leaked as the Model H was on its way to the launch next week.

The US-based electric car maker had started accepting pre-bookings of the Model H sports utility vehicle (SUV) back in May this year. The company is called Tesla’s rival in the US and is also planning to launch an initial public offering (IPO) soon.

The Triton Model H is the first car from the company’s stable to launch in India. It comes in seven colour options and the one that we spotted is Metallic Blue. Pre-bookings are still live, and you can submit your details here to reserve your unit.

Triton Model H electric SUV – everything we know so far

The Triton Model H electric SUV is driven by four motors that combined generate 1,500 horsepower. The company’s founder, Himanshu Patel, calls it a ‘Super SUV’. Triton claims that the car can go from 0-96 kilometres in 2.9 seconds. It comes with features like a large solar panel roof, reducing the need for an air conditioner at all times.

The Model H is backed by a set of 200kWh (kilowatt-hour) batteries – Triton says that this is proprietary technology. It also claims that the car has a range of 1,120 kilometres and can hypercharge in 2 hours.

The company has a manufacturing plant in Pune, which has a manufacturing capacity of 100 cars in five-six months. “We will start pre booking for 1000 cars but we will deliver 100 immediately,” Patel said in an exclusive interview with Business Insider.

In the US, where the car was launched last March, Model H costs $1,40,000 (approx. ₹1.05 crore). But Patel promises it will be cheaper in India. “But the Model H we are launching in India, is a vehicle made in India. It won’t be directly [sic] that price point, it will definitely be less than what it costs in the US,” Patel added further.
