Mahindra XUV700-Inspired XEV 7e Design Leaked Ahead of India Launch

Mahindra is expected to launch the XUV700-based EV, possibly dubbed the XEV 7e, in India by the end of the year. However, before that, design sketches of the production-ready model have been leaked online from presentation slides, offering a preview of the EV's interior and exterior. While the overall profile is similar to the ICE-powered XUV700, the front end takes on a bold new look inspired by the recently launched XEV 9e. It includes inverted L-shaped connected LED DRLs, closed-off grille, and split headlamps. The side profile is accentuated by distinctive alloy wheels, which enhance the SUV's aesthetics while optimising aerodynamics for better efficiency and range. At the rear, the design maintains the signature elements of the XUV700, with subtle updates that emphasise its electric transformation.

The XUV700 Electric may also come with a state-of-the-art triple screen arrangement, possibly featuring 12.3-inch displays for the driver’s instrument cluster, infotainment, and passenger-side view.
