Mahindra is currently developing a new range of electric SUVs. Out of these, the primary launch target is of the XUV700 electric version. It is likely to be called XUV.e8 and the launch of it could take place around the Diwali festive season. Spotted recently during a test run, new details have surfaced regarding the XUV700 electric. Read below the complete details known about the upcoming XUV.e8.

Mahindra XUV.e8 EV SUV: What To Expect?

The upcoming XUV700 electric, aka the XUV.e8, is going to be based on the INGLO platform. This platform has been specifically developed by Mahindra to incorporate upcoming electric SUVs. In terms of design, the spotted test car appears to be a mix of the current ICE XUV700 and the electric SUV design language by Mahindra. The front fascia is heavily revised with big horizontal slabs and large angular LED DRLs. Additionally, the large air dams on the bumper hint towards an aerodynamic design. The rest of the test car, including the side and rear profile, looks largely unchanged.

On the interior front, Mahindra will equip it with a brand new dashboard with a new connected triple screen design. This design was patented not so long ago, and there is a high probability that it’ll debut via the XUV.e8. Moreover, it’ll get a new two-spoke steering wheel with an illuminated logo in the middle. Other than that, the test car has ADAS sensors fitted behind the IRVM, indicating that a level 2 autonomous safety system will be offered as standard.

While there are no further details available regarding the powertrain and performance, some online rumours indicate that it’ll get an 80kWh battery pack. Additionally, Mahindra will also offer an AWD configuration on it, so that the XUV.e8 could compete with the upcoming Tata Harrier EV. We assume that it will deliver a driving range of more than 500 km per charge. Mahindra will also offer different regen levels and driving modes on the XUV.e8.
