Mahindra is all set to expand its electric vehicle portfolio in India with the debut of the XUV 3XO EV, as seen in recent spy shots.
The XUV 3XO EV is expected to be positioned below the XUV400 in the brand’s portfolio, which could provide an affordable entry point into their EV range.
The near-production XUV 3XO EV test mule was recently spotted undergoing road tests in Madurai, Tamil Nadu, where it revealed several design, performance and feature specifications.
Mahindra XUV 3XO EV design
The Mahindra XUV 3XO EV prototype was spotted testing recently.
Minor changes have been spotted between the ICE and EV models, suggesting that the brand plans to retain most of the design language of the ICE XUV 3XO.
However, the biggest noticeable change is that the brand has slimmed down the EV and brought the dimensions in line with the ICE XUV 3XO.
As seen in the spy shots, the Mahindra XUV 3XO EV is mostly camouflaged except for the front and rear.
As a result, the XUV 3XO EV is expected to feature a new upper and lower grille with revised air dams at the front, while it could get a revised tailgate and rear bumper at the rear with minimal changes to the sides.
The XUV 3XO EV is expected to retain the rest of the design elements of the ICE 3XO model. However, it will include some design elements unique to the electric car model.
Mahindra XUV 3XO EV features
The Mahindra XUV 3XO EV is expected to be a feature-rich EV from the brand, carrying similar interior and exterior elements to the ICE version. It is expected to feature a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, rear AC vents, a 10.2-inch infotainment system, and many other advanced features.
The Mahindra XUV 3XO EV is also expected to have safety features like radar-based ADAS, multiple airbags, 360-degree HD camera, projector headlights, etc.
Mahindra XUV 3XO EV battery and motor
Mahindra is yet to reveal the exact battery and motor specifications of the 3XO EV. However, a similar battery pack to the XUV400 is expected to be offered, with 34.5 kWh and 39.4 kWh battery pack options, offering a range of up to 456 kilometers on a full charge.
It is expected to be equipped with a single electric motor with a front-wheel drive (FWD) option that produces a maximum power of 150 PS and torque of 310 Nm.
Mahindra XUV 3XO EV launch and price
The semi-production version of the Mahindra 3XO EV is expected to be showcased at the upcoming Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025. The auto show is scheduled to be held from January 17 to 22, 2025 in New Delhi.
The Mahindra 3XO EV is likely to be launched in the Indian market sometime in early 2025. Its price is estimated to be around $15-20 lakh, making it an affordable premium electric vehicle.
Final thoughts
In conclusion, the brand is all set to strengthen its presence in the Indian electric vehicle market with this upcoming launch.
As Mahindra continues to improve its electric vehicle offerings, the upcoming XUV 3XO EV is expected to play a crucial role in expanding its presence in the market.
With its modern design, premium features and impressive performance metrics, the XUV 3XO EV is likely to attract a wide range of customers.
