XUV400 EL	39.4 kWh	456 km	7.2 kW	Rs 18.99 lakh

Speaking of the SUV, the XUV4 00 share its design with the smaller XUV 300 though with some EV-specific touches such as the closed-off grille including the copper trim elements and Mahindra twin-peaks logo. The cabin too offers much in common though the larger size does liberate additional boot space with the e-SUV also packing in more tech.

The e-SUV is available in five colour options – Arctic Blue, Everest White, Galaxy Grey, Napoli Black and Infinity Blue. Buyers also get the option of dual-tone paint finishes with a Satin Copper roof.
