After multiple teasers and spy shots, the Mahindra XUV400 has finally made its global debut just a day before the World EV Day.

Mahindra XUV400 – Battery, Charging Time, and Range
The Mahindra XUV400 gets an IP-67 rated 39.5kWh battery pack that claims an ARAI-tested range of 456km on a single charge. It powers a Permanent Magnet Synchronous (PMS) Motors generating maximum power of 149PS, along with a best-in-class peak torque of 310Nm. The drive is sent to the front wheels. Sweetening the driving dynamics are three available driving modes: FUN, FAST and FEARLESS. Mahindra claims the XUV400 can reach 0-100kmph mark in 8.3 seconds before attaining a top speed of 160 kmph.
It can be charged to the 80% mark through a 50kW DC fast charger in just 50 minutes. A 7.2kW charger, on the other hand, can juice it up to 100 percent in 6 hours 30 minutes. One can even charge it through a regular 16A socket that will take around 13 hours to fully energise the battery pack.
Mahindra XUV400 – Design and Dimensions
Speaking of the design, the Mahindra XUV400 looks largely similar to its ICE counterpart, except for some EV-specific changes, such as a clossed-off front grille with dual-tone black & copper elements and tweaked bumpers at both ends. It also receives new alloy wheels and a redesigned tail lamp, making the SUV look smart and trendy.
The SUV will be available in 5 attractive color options: Arctic Blue, Everest White, Galaxy Grey, Napoli Black and Infinity Blue.
