Mahindra cars in India (21)

Mahindra Cars is one of India’s best SUV manufacturers. Its SUV journey began in 1949, when Mahindra started assembling the Jeep CJ-Series in India. The Bolero arrived in 2000, establishing Mahindra in the rugged utility-vehicle segment, and the Scorpio followed in 2002, bringing the brand into the mainstream SUV market. The Thar arrived in 2010, adding a lifestyle and off-road focus, while the XUV500 marked Mahindra’s move towards more premium family SUVs.

Over the years, Mahindra has expanded its SUV portfolio across different sizes and use cases, making it one of India’s largest SUV manufacturers. Its range now spans sub-4-metre, compact, mid-size and large SUVs, along with rugged pickups and premium electric SUVs, with 5-, 6- and 7-seat options across the line-up. The Bolero and Bolero Neo focus on budget, rural and rugged utility needs, while the XUV 3XO and Scorpio Classic cater to everyday SUV buyers. The Scorpio N, Thar and Thar Roxx add more lifestyle and off-road capability, while the XUV700 and XUV 7XO target buyers looking for more space, features and family-focused practicality. 

Mahindra cars Electric

Mahindra has also made a significant move into the electric car segment with its dedicated INGLO EV architecture. The BE 6 and XEV 9e introduced Mahindra’s new generation of electric SUVs, followed by the XUV 3XO EV at a more accessible point in the range and the XEV 9S, which brings three-row practicality to Mahindra’s EV portfolio. This gives Mahindra a mix of conventional petrol and diesel SUVs alongside its growing range of electric models.
