The XUV400 marks the beginning of Mahindra’s journey towards electric vehicles. After showcasing its new electric brand Born Electric (BE) and XUV in the UK last year, the company showcased the models for the first time in India ahead of the e-Prix in Hyderabad. The automaker plans to launch at least five new electric SUVs under the new sub-brand, alongside the launch of the BE.05 Rall-E, a chunky off-road-spec replacement for the upcoming BE.05. All upcoming electric products will be built on the automaker’s new INGLO platform.
