Mahindra & Mahindra has confirmed that it will launch the electric iteration of the XUV300 subcompact SUV in the first quarter of 2023. That means, the model will see a market release between January – March 2023. The new Mahindra XUV300 electric will take directly on India’s top-selling electric car – Tata Nexon EV. Here’re key details of the upcoming new Mahindra electric SUV that we know so far.
Bigger than ICE model
Dimensionally, the Mahindra e-XUV300 will be bigger than its petrol and diesel counterparts. Media reports suggest that it will measure 4.2 metre in length. Its wheelbase, however, will remain unchanged. With slightly longer built, the SUV’s electric version is likely to offer better boot space. The existing ICE version measures 3995mm in length, 1821mm in width and 1627mm in height.
Different Styling
Compared to its ICE counterparts, the Mahindra XUV300 electric will look slightly different. The blue accent on the front bumper and near around headlamps will highlight its electric nature. The electric SUV is likely to carry differently designed front grille, bumpers, alloy wheels and taillamps. In fact, its interior will also be different from the regular model. The e-XUV300 will have all-black theme, new seat upholstery, touchscreen infotainment system with piano black surrounds and rear AC vents.
