Fancy a closer look at the Mahindra XUV400 electric SUV? Well, you’re in luck as the EV has reached the marque’s dealerships ahead of its launch. Bookings are expected to commence soon and prices of the SUV, as per what Mahindra said earlier, is expected anytime in January. 

The Mahindra XUV400 EV is essentially based on the same platform as the XUV300. However, unlike the auto fuel-powered SUV that measures under four metres, the all-electric SUV is over four metres long, as EVs don’t need to qualify for sub-four-metre norms to attract lower taxes. As a result, you have a tad more boot space than before. 

While variant details aren’t officially out yet, as per a Delhi RTO document, the SUV is likely to be offered in the following trims: Base, EP and EL. It’ll be offered in five colour choices: Arctic Blue, Everest White, Napoli Black, Infinity Blue and Galaxy Grey. The easiest way to tell the SUV apart is to look out for copper highlights and a closed-off front end. 

The XUV400 gets a 39.5kWh battery pack that powers a 150PSelectric motor delivering 310Nm to the front wheels. This setup enables the EV to do the  nought to 100kmph sprint in 8.3 seconds and cover a MIDC-claimed range of 456km per charge.
