XUV300 EV
The XUV300 EV will come with all the updates that the petrol/diesel XUV300 facelift is going to get. So, we can expect the new C-shaped DRLs with new bumpers and LED headlamps. Being an EV, we could see a closed-off grille like the XUV400. The XUV300 EV will be sub-four metres and will miss out on the bigger boot offered by the XUV400. It is expected to come with new alloy wheels and side skirts. At the rear, we could see connected tail lamps and a redesigned tailgate.
What else to expect?
The XUV300 facelift is going to come with a new dashboard layout and that will also continue on the XUV300 EV. We could see a bigger infotainment system on the XUV300 EV that will help take on the Nexon EV. Barring the infotainment system, we could see new AC vents and HVAC controls. We can also see new features like a panoramic sunroof, ADAS, ventilated seats and wireless charging. The XUV300 EV is also expected to get a 35kWh battery pack same as the EC variant of the XUV400. This battery pack comes with a claimed range of 375km. Maybe Mahindra could reduce the power figures to aggressively price the XUV300 EV.
Launch & pricing
The XUV300 EV will be the brand’s entry-level EV, replacing the XUV400. The new XUV300 EV is expected to be priced at around Rs 15 lakh and going to Rs 18 lakh (on-road, Mumbai), making it 1 lakh to 1.5 lakh cheaper than the XUV400. Mahindra is expected to launch the petrol/diesel XUV300 by February 2024 and after that, we could see the launch of the XUV300 EV by mid-2024.
