Mahindra Automotive is all set to showcase their future electric offerings next month. The event will take place on the 15th of August and the teaser video hints at as many as five different products. While these may take time getting to the showroom floors, a lot of us are waiting see more updates on these upcoming Mahindra Electric SUVs.
To be sold under the 'Mahindra Electric' umbrella, all of the products are fresh from the ground up. This means the platform has been designed keeping electric mobility in mind. This is much better as compared to just modifying a normal petrol / diesel product into an EV offering. A pure EV platform also takes care of battery set-up and placement, electric motor housing and does away with the need of components like an exhaust, fuel tank etc. This in turn can lead to better space management on the inside, sorted weight management, low overall weight and possibly better safety standards.
The teaser video showcases a faint silhouette of five Mahindra Electric SUVs. These vary from a full sized 3-row offering to a sportier, couple styled SUV. The former could the flagship product, as large as the XUV700 and the latter could be the EV versions of the XUV Aero showcased at the Auto Expo several years back. There is no word yet on the specs, sizes or launch time frames. However we do believe these products will be showcased the Auto Expo that will take place in early 2023 next year.
The new Mahindra Electric SUVs will be showcased at the Mahindra Advanced Design Europe (MADE) studio in Oxfordshire, UK, headed by chief designer Pratap Bose. There will be a live webcast event though physical appearance of the SUVs will take place next year only. As of now, the only thing we know about are the C shaped LEDs, both at the front and the rear. Mahindra currently sells electric vehicles in the commercial space - these include the eVerito, eSupro, Treo, eAlfa and e2oPlus.
These all-new SUVs could give Mahindra a clear edge over other electric cars in India. Watch this space for more!
