The Mahindra S201 subcompact electric SUV will deliver a range of 250km on a single charge.
We have reported earlier that Mahindra & Mahindra is planning to expand its electric vehicle portfolio with a range of new models. The carmaker also confirmed that its first electric SUV will hit Indian roads during 2019-2020. While the company is already working on the electric versions of the KUV100 mini SUV, Aero Coupe, Scorpio and XUV500 SUVs, its upcoming S201 (codename) subcompact SUV will also receive an electric powertrain.
Speaking on the sideline of the company’s Q2 results for FY2019, Pawan Goenka, Managing Director, Mahindra & Mahindra has revealed that Mahindra S201 electric SUV will be rolled out in the first or second quarter of the calendar year 2020.
Under the NEDC (New European Driving Cycle), the new Mahindra S201 subcompact electric SUV will deliver a range of 250km on a single charge. It will be capable to accelerate 100kmph from standstill in just 11 seconds. The SUV will offer a maximum speed of 150kmph.

Mahindra will use the 48cc engine with 210AH lithium ion battery for the eKUV100 that was previewed at the 2018 Auto Expo. This electric powertrain is already used in the Mahindra e20 Plus. It delivers power worth 25.4bhp against 70Nm of torque.
The carmaker’s most expensive SUV project – the Mahindra Aero Coupe – will also come with an electric motor. While the engine details are still under the wraps, it is likely to deliver an electric range of 350km and a top speed of 186kmph.
Just so you know, M&M and Ford Motor Company entered into a partnership for developing two new SUVs and an electric vehicle. Both the companies will leverage the benefits of each other global expertise and market reach. Under this alliance, the brands will also work on connected car technologies and solutions.
