Mahindra also confirmed that it will reveal three of its electric concepts known as the ‘Born EV’ range on 15 August 2022. Expected to launch in 2025, more details about the electric model will be revealed from July.
The upcoming XUV300 electric SUV was first showcased at the Auto Expo 2020, apart from this Mahindra also showcased the electric KUV at the same event.
An interesting fact here is that the electric version of the XUV 300 will not be a sub-four meter vehicle as it has a length of 4.2 metres. According to our sources, Mahindra may bring the body structure of the taller SsangYong Tivoli on which the XUV300 is based. This, directly indicates that the car will not be eligible for the many incentives or pocket-friendly pricing that are usually reserved only for electric vehicles under four meters in India.
