Homegrown sports utility vehicle (SUV) manufacturer Mahindra & Mahindra, on the eve of World EV Day, unveiled its first all-electric SUV ‘XUV400’ with the company’s new twin peaks logo with a satin copper finish for the domestic market. Mahindra claims that its XUV400 EV boasts cutting-edge technology, powerful features and thrilling performance.

Veejay Nakra, President, Automotive Division, M&M Ltd, in a statement, said: “The Mahindra Group is committed to becoming Carbon Neutral by 2040 and our EV game plan is at the core of this mission. We are doing our part against climate change with the unveil of the All-Electric Mahindra XUV400, a fun-to-drive, generously sized SUV boasting excellent interior room for our discerning customers.”

The SUV manufacturer also revealed that the new XUV400 would be available for test drives from December 2022, followed by bookings, price reveals and deliveries in early 2023. The XUV400 goes up against Tata Nexon EV and Nexon EV Max.

“The market too is extremely receptive for a clean, enjoyable and capable vehicle, and we foresee stupendous growth in the category. The XUV400’s class-leading acceleration delivers an adrenaline rush, while its exceptional range offers anxiety-free drives. On the eve of the World EV Day 2022, we are proud to present to India’s young trendsetters the fun and fast XUV400,” Nakra added.

Looks and design: Mahindra’s latest SUV looks largely similar to the XUV300 and gets a new closed-off grille with arrowhead-shaped inserts and the new ‘Twin Peaks’ logo in the centre. It also features LED Daytime Running Lamps (DRLs).

The XUV400 will be available in five colour options - Arctic Blue, Everest White, Galaxy Grey, Napoli Black and Infinity Blue.

The new XUV400 stands 4200 mm long and 1821 mm wide. It has a 2600 mm wheelbase and 378 litres/418 litres (up to the roof) boot space. The XUV400 rides on high gloss alloy wheels featuring a diamond-cut high-contrast surface treatment.

In terms of interior, XUV400’s dashboard design is similar to its ICE counterpart. However, the XUV400 gets an all-black interior with bronze highlights around the AC vents and some switchgear as compared to XUV300’s light colour theme. The nee e-SUV also features gloss black inserts on the dashboard and steering wheel.
