Mahindra is planning to launch two new electric SUVs, the XUV 3XO EV and XUV.e8, by late 2024 or early 2025. This move will expand their eco-friendly vehicle lineup, which currently includes only the XUV400 EV.
Mahindra XUV 3XO EV
The XUV 3XO EV, internally known as the S240, is expected to launch by the end of this year. It will be positioned below the XUV400 EV and is set to start production in November. This SUV will have a 35kWh battery, though motor details are not yet disclosed. The ICE versions of the 3XO include features like a panoramic sunroof, 360-degree camera, dual-zone climate control, and a digital instrument cluster. The electric version is expected to have similar or better features. The XUV 3XO EV is anticipated to be priced between Rs 14 lakh and Rs 17 lakh, competing with the Tata Nexon EV.

The new EVs will share components with the VW MEB platform. Spy shots have shown interior features like a two-spoke steering wheel, three 12.3-inch screens, rectangular AC vents, touch-sensitive HVAC controls, and a rotary knob for drive modes. The camouflaged exterior hints at new headlamps with connected DRLs, a closed-off grille, and new alloy wheels, with the rear likely featuring a connecting tail lamp.
The XUV.e8 is expected to launch by December 2024, starting at around Rs 28 lakh (ex-showroom), marking Mahindra’s strong entry into the full-size SUV EV market. It will compete with the upcoming Tata Harrier EV.
