While we know that production of the INDI One will start in 2023, there isn’t an exact date set for these cars to be on the roads just yet. But, American drivers can reserve one of the two trims being offered today, in anticipation of the release. The car will be released in Europe following the American release.
The Standard INDI One will cost $45,000, and the Premium INDI One will cost $69,000. European prices have not been set yet.
Although the American price significantly jumps between the Standard and the Premium, the Premium comes with a Vehicle Integrated Computer (VIC) which is what allows for the state-of-the-art digital and technology offerings in the INDI One.
Interior and technology
What truly makes the INDI One a unique car is the digital capabilities it wants to offer, which will appeal to gamers and streamers. The VIC in the Premium INDI One is set to be compatible with Windows 10 and Android Auto, in an attempt to give drivers and passengers the same technology and convenience they enjoy in their homes or offices, directly in their cars.

reports that INDI wants to bring full computing capabilities for gaming, streaming, and other digital features. Plus, they’ll be working on a driver privacy screen to avoid driving distractions with all these new technology features. Electrek also reports that many digital influencers were given the opportunity to test drive the vehicle through the streets of Beverly Hills. One unnamed influencer stated they liked the ride of the INDI One, but the best part was being able to game on an actual gaming system complete with virtual reality features while in the car.
Power and engine
On top of the industry-shaking technology the INDI One promises to offer, the power and engine in the vehicle rivals that of competitors like Tesla and Rivian. According to Electrive
, the Standard INDI One is a rear-wheel drive car with one 75 kWh battery that has a range up to 230 miles, power of 205 kW, and a 0 to 60 mph acceleration time of 6.7 seconds. The more luxury trim, the INDI One Premium, is even more impressive under the hood. The Premium INDI One will be an all-wheel drive car with a 95 kWh battery that has a range of 300 miles, a 0 to 60 mph acceleration time of 4.25 seconds, and a power of 349 kW.
While these cars haven’t started production yet, if INDI can deliver on the power, engine, and incredible technology features it promised, the INDI One will be a force to be reckoned with in the electric vehicle world.
