Mahindra’s highly anticipated third electric SUV based on its INGLO platform, tentatively called the XEV 7e, has surfaced in leaked production-spec images. Positioned as the electric counterpart to the popular XUV700, the XEV 7e is expected to hit the market next year.
XEV 7e: Key Highlights and Design Details
The leaked images provide a first look at the production version of the XEV 7e, which stays true to the concept showcased in 2022. Essentially a three-row SUV derived from the XEV 9e coupe-SUV, it blends practicality with contemporary EV aesthetics.
While Mahindra is yet to confirm the name, the company has already trademarked “XEV 7e,” alongside “XEV 9e” and “BE 6e,” with the latter two already in use for production models.
Visually, the XEV 7e embraces a less radical approach compared to its counterparts. The SUV features a distinctive yet understated design, including:
- A unique front fascia resembling the XEV 9e with sleek headlamps, a closed grille, and a clean front bumper.
- A silhouette reminiscent of the XUV700, with subtle EV-specific touches at the rear.
- Aerodynamically styled alloy wheels inspired by the XEV 9e.
Interior and Features
Inside, the XEV 7e mirrors the premium feel of the XEV 9e, boasting a tech-forward cabin with:
- A three-screen dashboard setup for infotainment, instrumentation, and auxiliary controls.
- A futuristic two-spoke steering wheel featuring an illuminated logo.
- A practical three-row layout with captain’s chairs in the second row, designed for superior comfort and ample headroom, thanks to a traditional roofline.
Powertrain and Launch Timeline
While specifics about the powertrain remain under wraps, the XEV 7e is expected to share its battery and motor configurations with the XEV 9e. More technical details are likely to emerge closer to its scheduled launch, anticipated in mid-2025.
With its blend of practicality, advanced technology, and EV-focused design, the XEV 7e is poised to become a significant player in Mahindra’s growing electric portfolio.
