Mahindra XUV 3XO EV

Expected Launch: End of Nov 2025

Spy images reveal that the Mahindra XUV3XO EV will closely mirror its ICE counterpart in design, featuring LED projector headlamps, C-shaped LED DRLs, and familiar alloy wheels. The EV sports a subtly tweaked front grille and bumper, while a charging port is positioned above the right front fender. A dual-tone roof with copper paint adds a distinct EV flair, hinting at Mahindra’s updated styling for this electric variant. Inside, it retains the same cabin layout, highlighted by a 10.25-inch floating infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a matching digital cluster, and copper accents around the gear lever, all of which echo its ICE sibling.

The Mahindra XUV3XO EV is expected to offer the following powertrain and battery specifications:

• Battery Pack: 34.5 kWh, similar to the lower trims of the XUV400.
• Range: Estimated between 375 – 400 km on a full charge.

This setup makes the XUV3XO EV well-suited for both city commutes and longer drives.

Feature-wise, it mirrors its ICE counterpart, offering dual-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, cooled glovebox, drive modes, and likely ventilated seats. Safety features include Level 2 ADAS, a 360-degree camera, hill descent control, 6 airbags, TPMS, and disc brakes on all wheels.
