Now, new leaked images of the production-spec model suggest otherwise as it will take design inspiration from its ICE cousin but will get specific EV cues from the XUV 9e including the L-shaped connected LED DRLs, blacked-out grille and alloy wheels with aero bits embedded in them.

On the inside, the XEV 7e will retain the three row seating layout of the XUV700, albeit with premium equipment.

Mahindra XUV 3XO EV: Compact Electric Powerhouse

Mahindra is working on the electric version of the XUV 3XO, which is expected to debut in next few months. This compact electric SUV will be positioned below the XUV400 in Mahindra’s electric range and is likely to have several elements in common with the thermally-powered model that was recently introduced.

The interior of the XUV 3XO EV would be quite similar to the petrol engine version with a rich premium and loaded cabin. Some of the key highlights may comprise of a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, panoramic sunroof, and an immersive Harman Kardon sound system.

In terms of range, the XUV 3XO EV will likely be equipped with a 35kWh battery pack which is the same one powering the base variants of the XUV400 EV. This ought to be good for a driving range of around 375-400 kilometers between charges. The front-axle-mounted electric motor is expected to provide the EV with an efficient and powerful drive, Auto Express reported. Featuring AC and DC fast charging types, the XUV 3O EV promises a more flexible charging experience for customers.

Mahindra Thar Electric: Off-Road Goes Green

The Mahindra Thar Electric due in 2026, will transform the shared legacy of the iconic off-roader and its electrical journey. Unlike most EV retrofits however, the Thar Electric will feature a radically different design compared to the traditional ICE model, with a fresh new design language and rugged, adventure-ready nature despite.

The Thar EV will be underpinned by INGLO P1 platform and have the same 300mm ground clearance available to the meanwhile internal combustion engine’s version, with a wheelbase of between 2,775mm and 2,975mm to house the additional doors and battery pack. There would be squared off LED headlamps with rounded-off corners, a steel front bumper, large alloy wheels with thick wheel arches, square-shaped LED tail lamps, and a tailgate mounted spare wheel.

Inside, the cabin will launch with 75 individual sounds – from opening the door to various drive modes – which will help you to get lost in its ambiance. Some of the features will be a big screen infotainment system, digital driver’s display unit as well as a futuristic steering wheel.

Thar Electric, as may be the case, will draw motivation from a 60kWh battery pack and a 4WD system is also expected to be on offer. The off-road electric SUV will most likely come with a dual-motor configuration, which means that both the front and rear axles will have power supplying to them, which will be a delight to ensure that this Indian SUV is still as capable when it comes to off-roading as the Thar that it’ll replace.

Mahindra Bolero Electric: The Tough Workhorse Goes Electric

India’s one of the most reliable utility vehicle Mahindra Bolero is good to go for the electric transformation. The Bolero Electric probably will be called Bolero.e, will be a part of Mahindra’s seven new EVs to be launched by 2030.

While the ICE Bolero underpins the current ladder-frame chassis, do not expect the electric version to feature a ladder-frame since it would be a painstaking proposition to develop a born-EV on the same architecture. Instead, the Bolero.e could potentially use an adapted version of Mahindra’s new skateboard platform, what they’re working on for the Thar.e.

The electric Bolero is likely to get a boxy, utilitarian design that helped the original become a popular choice in rural and semi-urban markets, but with modern EV touches thrown in. Details on the battery and range haven’t been revealed yet, although it’s likely that the MOJO electric bike will share its battery pack with other Mahindra EVs and will offer at least a decent amount of range that could be used in both the city as the countryside.

The Bolero.e will be symbolic of Mahindra’s attempt to electrify its bread-n-butter practical vehicles, making them electric but without compromising on their utility and basic robustness.

Mahindra Scorpio Electric: Flagship SUV Goes Electric

The Mahindra Scorpio Electric (to be likely badged as Scorpio.e), is another interesting addition to the company’s forthcoming EV stable. Like the Bolero.e, the Scorpio.e is a part of Mahindra’s strategy to transition all of its ICE brands into electric operation, and is anticipated to be launched by 2030.

The Scorpio.e will be based on the INGLO platform, which Mahindra already uses for its other EV SUVs, and the wheelbase will be between 2,775mm and 2,975mm – little longer than the existing Scorpio N’s 2,750mm wheelbase. This extra length would free up space inside the vehicle, including for the battery pack.

Performance-wise, the Scorpio.e may borrow its powertrain from other Mahindra EVs with a dual-motor configuration similar to the Thar.e. Power came from a front 109hp/135Nm motor and a rear 286hp/535Nm unit, providing it with AWD ability. Battery packs may come in the following configurations: a 60kWh or an 80kWh pack where the 60kWh version would deliver an estimated 325km range and 80kWh would give as good as 435-450km.

The Scorpio.e will keep the aggressive and muscular design language of the Scorpio family, with some unique EV elements. As Mahindra’s electrical portfolio’s reputed SUV next to the XEV 9e, it will come equipped with world-class features such as a full ADAS suite, top-of-the-line infotainment system, premium interiors and more.
