XUVe.8 Details

According to rumors, a prototype of the Mahindra XUV700 electric (XUVe.8) with a 54kWh battery pack is ready for testing. The design language and interior arrangement of the SUV idea are shared with its ICE-powered sibling. Its closed-off front grille, bumper-mounted headlights, full-width LED light bars going towards the bumper, a sharply sculpted bonnet, and angular posture set it apart.

The Mahindra XUVe.8 idea has dimensions of 4740mm length, 1900mm width, and 1760mm height. It has a wheelbase of 2762mm.

When compared to the petrol/diesel XUV700, the electric version is approximately 45mm longer, 10mm wider, and 5mm higher. Its wheelbase is really 7mm longer. The ultimate production version of the Mahindra XUV700 electric SUV would have a battery pack capacity of up to 80kWh. It is available with an AWD (all-wheel drive) system. The electric SUV's power output is expected to be between 230bhp and 350bhp.

The XUVe.8 will be built on Mahindra's innovative INGLO modular platform, which can accommodate a variety of body shapes, wheelbases, track measurements, engine options, and AWD and RWD systems. All of Mahindra's forthcoming EVs will have the same battery back design and two distinct cell architectures: Prismatic (for the smaller battery pack) and Blade (for the larger battery pack).
