Mahindra XUV 3XO EV Spotted Undisguised Ahead of India Launch

The electrified Mahindra XUV 3XO has been spotted almost undisguised at a charging station in Madurai, offering a glimpse at its updated design. While the overall shape remains similar to the internal combustion engine (ICE) version of the XUV 3XO, the EV stands out with some distinct features like a reworked front grille, updated bumpers, new badging on the tailgate, and a front-fender mounted charging port. Additionally, the EV comes with an air dam to enhance battery cooling, and the alloy wheels are fitted with aero inserts for better efficiency. Despite these modifications, market reports suggest the XUV 3XO EV will retain the same dimensions as its ICE counterpart. However, full technical details have yet to be revealed to the public.

Mahindra XUV 3XO EV: Interior 

The interior of the Mahindra XUV 3XO EV is not visible in most spy images. Market reports, however, reports suggest that the EV will likely borrow features from both its ICE counterpart and the XUV400. The ICE-powered XUV 3XO offers a host of premium features, including a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, an AdrenoX connectivity suite, a fully digital 10.25-inch instrument cluster, dual-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, six airbags, and a 360-degree camera.

The upcoming XUV 3XO EV is expected to have a dual-tone black and white finish, and a drive mode selector, similar to the one found in the XUV400. 

Mahindra XUV 3XO EV: Powertrain

Although Mahindra has not yet revealed specific details about the battery or range of the XUV 3XO EV, there is considerable speculation that it may utilise the battery packs from the XUV400. For reference, the XUV400 is available with two battery options 34.5kWh pack, with a range of approximately 375 kilometres, and a larger 39.4kWh pack with up to 456 kilometres of range. It's possible that Mahindra could fine-tune the powertrain for the XUV 3XO EV to optimise either its range or performance, though official figures are still pending.
