Mahindra eKUV100
- Expected Launch: By mid-2022.
Mahindra will launch its first mass-market EV this year in the form of eKUV100. Debuted in a production-ready avatar at the 2020 Auto Expo, it is likely to be powered by a 40kW electric motor. However, unlike its earlier showcased model which had a 15.9kWh battery pack, its production-spec version is likely to come with a larger battery pack for a claimed range of over 200 kilometers.
Going by the previous claims of Pawan Goenka, former Managing Director of Mahindra Group, the e-KUV100 will be the most affordable EV in the country.
2022 Mahindra Bolero
- Expected Launch: In the coming months.
Mahindra Bolero is set to receive some minor cosmetical changes, along with a dual-paint scheme. Currently, the Bolero comes in three monotone colors: Mist Silver, Lakeside Brown, and Diamond White paint. No mechanical changes are expected. The rugged SUV will continue with the same 1.5-litre diesel engine (75PS/210Nm) as the current model, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
Mahindra XUV300 Sportz
Expected Launch: By mid-2022.
Showcased at the 2020 Auto Expo, Mahindra will soon launch the XUV300 with a more powerful 1.2-litre direct-injection (DI) turbocharged petrol engine that is proficient in developing 130PS of maximum power and 230Nm of peak torque, making it the most powerful car in its category. This new engine will be offered with its existing 110PS/200Nm 1.2-litre turbo-petrol and 117PS/300Nm 1.5-litre diesel engines. Besides, the sub-4-meter SUV could also witness some significant visual changes inside and out.
