Mahindra XUV400 Electric SUV
The XUV400 electric looks similar to its ICE sibling, the XUV300. It does, however, have several distinguishing characteristics, the most noticeable of which being its size. The Mahindra XUV400 has a length of 4,200mm, a width of 1,821mm, a height of 1,634mm, and a wheelbase of 2,800mm. Another advantage of the XUV400 electric is the 378-litre boot. Satin Copper accents on the front bumper, side door cladding, and the closed front grille are among the other design elements. The LED DRLs are built into the headlight assembly.
The XUV400 EV is said to have a 456 km range with a 39.4kWh battery pack. The motor has a maximum torque of 310 Nm and an output power of 150 bhp. The automobile can go from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.3 seconds. It can also reach a top speed of 150 km/h. The 50kW DC quick charger completes 80% of the charge in about 50 minutes. A 7.2 kW/32A outlet takes 6 hours and 30 minutes to charge to 100%, while a 3.3 kW/16A home plug takes 13 hours.
It has an all-black dashboard with the same satin copper highlights as the exterior. A new drive selector is added to the centre console. The XUV400 features a 7-inch infotainment display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as AdrenoX connectivity from the manufacturer. Other elements include the same amenities as the XUV300, such as dual-zone climate control, air-conditioning controls, and more.
