Mahindra recently launched its first EV SUV – the XUV400 – at a starting price of Rs 15.99 lakh and going up to Rs 18.99 lakh for the top model. Do note, however, that the prices are introductory and are applicable for the first 5,000 customers of each variant. Bookings for the XUV400 will open on January 26 and deliveries are set to commence from March.
Mahindra XUV400 variant breakdown
The XUV400 comes in two trims – EC and EL. The EC is available with the smaller 34.5kWh battery pack with either a 3.3kW or 7.2kW charging option. The EL trim, on the other hand, gets the larger 39.5kWh battery pack with only a 7.2kW charging option.
