Mahindra is stepping into the electric future with its Born Electric unified platform and its first mainstream electric SUV XUV400 has already been announced but bookings, as well as pricing, are yet to be announced. As per the timeline, XUV400 will have a media review and complete details coming up in December itself while actual price reveals and bookings will be open from January 2023 onwards.
The wait time again will be greater and as Mahindra is growing hype we expect a lot of bookings if they keep pricing competitive because providing up to 456km range in itself is a great deal. The Indian buyers do love the Mahindra cars and it’s evident from the sales numbers, now while EVs are their new area of interest but their quality assures a lot of buyers. Now, just before the launch while we did get an idea about its expected pricing, color variants and a lot more, it seems there will be a special variant as well.
As you see from the teaser, in every aspect from the seats to the cup holder, the seatbelts, badging, bonet, everywhere there is a slight designer appeal and signifies to be the Special Edition. This XUV400 Rimzim Dadu Special variant should cost a bit more than usual ones and will be no less of a style appeal to make this new-age EV even more attractive in the market.
Rest, all specs should remain the same including a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, dual-zone automatic climate control, a single-pane sunroof, connected car technology, a push start-stop button, and six airbags are all included in the equipment list. The XUV400 can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.3 seconds thanks to the motor’s maximum output of 310 Nm and 150 PS. Mahindra claims that the electric powertrain and 39.5 kWh battery pack together can go 456 km at their maximum range on a single charge.
We expect this Special Edition XUV400 EV to be announced alongside the other standard variants in January 2023 itself and we cannot wait for it actually makes its presence in the Indian market!
