Mahindra XUV.e8 interior caught on camera – Features three displays!

Mahindra has a lot of EVs in the pipeline, and these are set to launch in India sooner or later. While we wait for these exciting releases, test mules of these EVs have been spotted on the roads quite frequently. The latest buzz comes from fresh spy shots of the Mahindra XUV.e8's interior. These images give a clear look at its cabin, showcasing a large three-screen setup across the dashboard, which left many viewers amazed. Let’s dive deeper into these spy shots and explore all the new and existing details surrounding this much-anticipated EV.

A look at the design cues

The Mahindra XUV.e8 is expected to launch either by the end of this year or in the first half of 2024. Based on the test mule's exterior design seen over time, we can now make out the details of this model. The EV's side profile looks quite similar to its ICE version. At the rear, the design also resembles the XUV700, especially due to the similar taillamp styling on both models. However, the front of the XUV.e8 will stand out with its connected lighting DRLs that stretch from right to left, forming a "Ɪ" shape horizontally just below the bonnet. There’s also a distinct headlamp cluster that adds to its modern look.
