The Mahindra XUV400 is the brand’s first all-electric SUV that is set to be introduced early next year. The model will also be followed by the BE and XUV.e range of electric vehicles in the near future. What dates do you need to keep in mind if you are a prospective customer of the XUV400? Let’s find out.
Unveil date
Mahindra unveiled the XUV400 in India on 8 September, 2022. At the same time, the carmaker announced a slew of timelines, including the end of the embargo for media reviews, booking and showcasing at showrooms, launch date, and delivery timelines.
The EV SUV is powered by a 39.4kwh battery pack producing 150bhp and 310Nm of torque. The model is claimed to return a range of 456 km on a single charge. Charging options include a 50kW DC fast charger, a 7.2kW/32A charger, and a 3.3kW/16A charger. The former is the quickest charging option for the model, which enables juicing up the battery from 0-80 per cent in just 50 minutes.
