Mahindra has finally revealed its first all-electric SUV that will take on the Nexon EV Max; we take it for a spin to give you our first impressions. The XUV400 is not a ‘born electric’ EV and is based on the XUV300 in the same way the Nexon EV is based on the IC engine-powered Nexon, but it has one trick up its sleeve – size.
XUV400 Ev Exterior
The XUV400 is 205mm longer than the ICE-powered XUV300 it’s based on. This has two big advantages, firstly, it addresses one of the XUV300’s biggest weaknesses – the poor 257 litres of luggage space. There shouldn’t be complaints of luggage carrying capacity now in the XUV400, which has a boot enlarged to a useful 378 litres. The extra length has also given Mahindra an upper hand in the positioning of the XUV400. This 4.2m-long SUV is technically no longer a compact SUV but a size above, into the Creta-dominated midsize SUV segment, and closer to the more expensive MG ZS EV and Hyundai Kona Electric. The XUV400 EV retains the same 16-inch alloy wheels as the XUV300.
XUV400 Ev Engine and Transmission
The Mahindra XUV400 EV comes with a single electric motor that produces 150hp and 350Nm of torque. It has a 60kWh battery pack that provides an ARAI-certified range of 450km on a single charge. The battery can be charged from 0-80% in just 45 minutes using a fast charger.
