On World EV Day, Mahindra Unveils The Electric XUV400; Goes 0-100 Km/h In 8.3 Seconds
SUV Manufacturer, Mahindra & Mahindra has unveiled the XUV400 electric SUV on the eve of World EV Day, for personal car buyers looking to embrace the future.
Part of the Mahindra EV brand XUV recently announced in the UK, the XUV400 is the first EV from Mahindra to feature the twin peaks logo with satin copper finish, giving it a distinctive presence on the road.
The XUV400 is a generously sized electric SUV that boasts cutting-edge technology, powerful features and thrilling performance. Operating in the C-segment SUV category, the XUV400 is 4200 mm long and boasts a wheelbase of 2600 mm, which offers its occupants excellent cabin space and legroom.
The SUV also sports boot space of 378 litres/418 litres (up to roof). At 1821 mm, it is also the widest e-SUV in the category – offering plenty of shoulder space for occupants.
The electric XUV400 can attain the 100 km/h mark from standstill in just 8.3 seconds and goes on to reach a top speed of 150 km/h.
A full charge delivers an anxiety-free range of 456 kilometres as per Indian driving cycle standards (MIDC). This comes via a 39.4kW battery pack that uses state-of-the-art Li-ion cells, which offer longevity as well as quick charging – it takes only 50 minutes to complete 80 percent charging with the 50kW DC fast charger. When charged via a 7.2 kW/32A outlet, it takes 6 hours 30 minutes for 0-100 percent charge and the same is achieved in 13 hours while using a standard 3.3 kW/16A domestic socket.
The XUV400 comes with a signature trim accent in satin copper finish. It rides on high gloss alloy-wheels featuring a diamond-cut high-contrast surface treatment.
Built in collaboration with global partners from South Korea, the XUV400 leverages their strengths across various segments – an advanced tech eco-system for speed and expertise – including calibration, system integration and vehicle validation.
Powered by global technology leaders, the XUV400 comes equipped with high-precision microcontrollers for critical parts such as smart vehicle control unit and battery management system with highest level of safety compliance according to global standards.
Other than introducing an electric SUV range under the Born Electric vision, the group is also supplementing it with access to an extensive fast charging infrastructure in the country and charger options with the product.
Test drives will begin from December 2022 and bookings will commence from first week of January 2023 at both Mahindra dealerships as well as online on its website. Deliveries of the XUV400 are scheduled to begin from end of January 2023.
