Mahindra’s new XUV400 electric SUV can be had with either a 34.5kWh or a 39.4kWh battery pack. Both motors power an electric motor mounted on the front axle. The e-motor delivers a claimed power of 150bhp and 310Nm of torque. It can do 0 to 100kmph in 8.3 seconds and attain a top speed of 150kmph. The electric SUV comes with three driving modes – Fun, Fast and Fearless. All modes help adjusting the steering and throttle response and the level of regenerative braking.

One must note that the aforementioned range figures are as per the Indian driving cycle (MIDC). The SUV’s battery pack takes 50 minutes to get charged from 0 to 80% via a 50kW DC fast charger. It can be fully charged in 6 hours 30 minutes by using a 7.2kW and 13 hours by using a 3.3kW AC charger.
