Mahindra revealed its all-new XUV400 electric SUV with a launch planned in the early next year. Based on the XUV300, the XUV400 sits above the four-meter mark though much of the design and cabin shares the similar basic design as the XUV300. 

Here is what you should know about Mahindra’s new SUV.

• At 4,200 mm, the XUV400 is a full 205 mm longer than the XUV300, its sister model, though at 2,600 mm the wheelbase remains unchanged. The width too is unchanged at 1821 mm.
• The XUV400 will be the first Mahindra to wear the new EV specific copper-finished twin-peaks logo when it goes on sale next year.
• The exterior design is very similar to the XUV300 though up front the XUV400 gets a closed off grille, redesigned bumper and copper-accents to be identifiable as an EV.
• The XUV400 will get a copper-coloured roof as well.
• The cabin design is not changed from the XUV300 however; the XUV400 does get copper trim inserts and all-black upholstery.
• The XUV400 packs in 60+ connected vehicle functions including some dedicated for EVs such as trip planning and maps with EV charging stations displayed.
• The XUV400 will come with a 39.4kWh battery pack giving it up to 456 km range.
• The XUV400 will maintain up to 50 kW DC fast charging. Mahindra says that the charger will fill up the battery 80% in 50 minutes. With a 7.2 kW/32A outlet, the XUV400 takes 6 hours 30 minutes for 0-100% charge, while a full charge from a 3.3kW/16A socket can take up to 13 hours.
• The XUV400 will feature an electric motor powering the front wheels. It will develop 148 bhp and 310 Nm and propel the SUV from 0-100 kmph in a claimed 8.3 seconds. Top speed is a claimed 150 kmph.

Mahindra will launch the XUV400 in India in January 2023 with deliveries to start in phases from the end of January.
