In September of this year, Mahindra unveiled its eagerly anticipated compact electric SUV. The electric SUV, known as the XUV400, is based on the currently available, fossil fuel-powered XUV300 but has a different design and is longer than its smaller sister.
Before the SUV's premiere, additional information has come to light. Mahindra's EV is anticipated to be sold in a total of three models, Base, EP, and EL, according to a type approval form from the Delhi Transport Department. A breakdown of the feature list won't be available until closer to launch, but we can anticipate that the base edition will be missing some functionality in an effort to keep costs down. An 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, automatic climate control, auto headlights, rain-sensing wipers, power foldable wing mirrors, drive modes, and more than 60 connected car features and over-the-air (OTA) updates are among the features that will be included in the fully loaded model.
The XUV400's powertrain consists of a 39.4 kWh battery pack and an electric motor with 148 horsepower. The SUV can accelerate to 100 kmph using its 310 Nm maximum torque electric powertrain in 8.3 seconds. According to Mahindra, the XUV400 has a single-pedal drive function with a range of up to 456 kilometres on a single charge. The SUV's top speed will be 150 kmph.
The Tata Nexon EV Max and the MG ZS EV are just a couple of the competitors the XUV400 will face in the market.
Mahindra has already provided comprehensive technical details for the future EV, which has the same 2,600 mm wheelbase as the XUV300 and measures 4,200 mm long, 1,821 mm wide, and 1,634 mm tall. The company has confirmed a number of characteristics as well as the assertion that the EV will have the best cabin room in its class.
