Mahindra recently auctioned off its one-off super-exclusive XUV400 electric SUV, which sold for up to ¥1.75 million. Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra handed over the keys of this special edition XUV400 EV to Karunakar Kundavaram from Hyderabad. The automaker claims the proceeds of the auction will go to charity. Compared to the standard XUV400, the special edition electric SUV features a number of unique styling elements that set it apart.
The Mahindra XUV400 One-of-one Edition was designed by Pratap Bose, Mahindra’s Chief Design Officer, in collaboration with fashion designer Rimzim Dadu. To commemorate the collaboration, it received a “Rimzim Dadu X Bose” badge and wore an arctic blue theme. The SUV also features a copper Twin Peaks emblem with a blue outline. However, the SUV retains the same basic silhouette as the standard version.
