Mahindra XEV 7E Coming Soon
In other Mahindra XUV700 news, the company, after the massively successful launch of the BE.6 and XEV.9E born-electric SUVs, is working on the development of the XEV.7E (XUV700 electric). This SUV will also utilize the same INGLO electric skateboard architecture and will come with the same 59 kWh and 79 kWh battery pack options as the BE.6 and XEV.9E.
It has also been confirmed that, like the XEV.9E, it will also be getting a triple-screen layout. The main highlight of the XEV.7E will be its dual-motor setup, capable of producing 350 bhp and 450 Nm of torque. It will also get all-wheel-drive capabilities and a much better 0-100 kmph acceleration time. There will also be dedicated off-road modes, including snow, mud, and others.
The XEV.7E will sit above the XEV.9E due to its more powerful drivetrain option. Also, once launched, it will be competing with the Tata Safari.ev, which is also in the pipeline and will boast a dual electric motor setup.
