The EV space is growing as we know it. With many manufacturers gearing up to launch EVs in the coming years, Mahindra has given us a taste of their upcoming EV lineup. The teaser shows us three SUVs which hints at what Mahindra has in store for us. The three electric SUV concepts will be revealed in July 2022 which will give us a better idea of what to expect.
Mahindra electric: What to expect
Looking at the teaser it can be assumed that these cars are bulky and will have a good road presence, the lights are also expected to have an all-LED setup. The rear LED headlights are in the shape of an inverted C and C which is kind of reminiscent of the XUV700’s LED DRLs. This hints at the fact that the electric SUVs could be a part of the XUV lineup.
One of these SUVs could be the XUV900 which would be designed as an SUV coupe. Set to be the flagship SUV, one can expect the XUV900 to showcase Mahindra’s latest technology in terms of safety, infotainment, and powertrains. These SUVs will be designed at Mahindra’s UK design facility by Pratap Bose and his team. The first launch by Mahindra electric will be the electric XUV300 which could be christened as the XUV400.
