This year, we expect the introduction of four new electric SUVs designed for off-road capabilities. In this article, we list down the details of these 4×4 electric SUVs from Maruti, Tata, and Mahindra.
Maruti Suzuki eVX (Expected: Late 2024)
The Maruti Suzuki eVX debuted at the Auto Expo 2023 last year, and then few months ago, almost production-ready concept was showcased at the Tokyo Motor Show 2023. The 5-Seater Electric SUV comes with new connected X LED DRLs, LED headlamps underneath the DRLs, chunky bumpers, new aero-efficient alloy wheels, and connected X LED Taillamps. The interiors features dual-tone dashboard, seamlessly integrated 10.25-inch displays for infotainment system, and digital instrument cluster.
Moreover, in features, it’ll get 360 Surround View Camera, ADAS, Front and Rear Parking Sensors, Powered Driver Seat, Panoramic Sunroof, and so much. It’s also worth noting that the eVX will come with 4×4 drive type to have the SUV capable for off-roading.

Tata Harrier.ev and Safari.ev (Expected: Late 2024)
Tata Motors few months launched the ICE Harrier and Safari Facelift, and the design changes they made were inspired directly from their own concept SUV, Curvv. Although Tata had unveiled the Harrier EV at the Auto Expo 2023, it’s still possible both the EVs will undergo subtle design changes. Notably, Tata was endorsing the Harrier.ev with 4×4 capability which ICE Harrier Facelift isn’t endorsed with that.
At the Auto Expo 2023, the Harrier.ev design was similar to the ICE version like the connected S-style LED taillamps. The front face was covered with body-coloured element that had horizontal thin slats on it, and different alloy wheel design for improved aerodynamic efficiency. The same can be said for the Safari.ev except the rear profile has wraparound connected taillamps, and slightly different front fascia.
The interiors will be the same as the ICE version such as the 12.3-inch infotainment system, 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, four-spoke steering wheel with Tata logo illumination display, touch-sensitive controls for climate control, panoramic sunroof, and more. It could sport single motor setup for either Rear-Wheel-Drive or Front-Wheel-Drive Type, or twin motor setup enabling All-Wheel-Drive which could be good for 4×4. We can expect it to have range of 500+ KMs.
Mahindra XUV.e8 (Expected: December 2024)
Mahindra was seen testing the XUV700-based electric SUV, XUV.e8 which is said to launch in December 2024. The XUV.e8 will look slightly different over the ICE Version of XUV700 like closed front grille, slightly different bumpers, and tweaked taillamps. Moreover, the EV will get triple-screen layout for the luxurious experience with size likely to be of 10.25-inch. This triple screen layout is focused on three elements – one for co-passenger to watch Netflix and other stuff, center infotainment system for EV details, and the digital instrument cluster.
It could sport a 50 – 60 kWh battery pack to offer range of 500+ KMs with a single-motor and a dual-motor setup. Moreover, Mahindra could offer the electric SUV with 4×4 drive type to make it off-road capable as well. The XUV.e8 will compete with the upcoming Tata Harrier.ev and Safari.ev. More details of the electric SUV should be made public soon in the coming months.
