Mahindra is set to introduce the all-electric version of its popular SUV, the Mahindra XUV700, called the XUV e8. A recent design leak confirmed the exterior styling of this highly anticipated electric vehicle. The leaked image reveals that the XUV e8 will retain many unique design elements showcased in the concept version unveiled last year.
One notable change in the front fascia of the XUV e8 is the vertically set headlamps connected by an LED light bar. The absence of an air intake grille confirms its all-electric nature. With its upright front fascia, high-set bonnet line adorned with distinctive creases, and bronze accents similar to the recently launched Mahindra XUV400 electric SUV, the XUV e8 boasts a robust yet sophisticated design language.
Moving to the side profile, the XUV e8 remains largely similar to its internal combustion engine-powered counterpart to maintain cost efficiency. However, the presence of aerodynamic wheel caps clearly indicates that it is an electric vehicle. The flush door handles, similar to those on the XUV700, also serve a practical purpose by improving the car’s drag coefficient, potentially contributing to increased range for the electric SUV.
The leaked design patent offers a glimpse of what we can expect from the upcoming Mahindra XUV e8. By retaining many design elements from the concept version, Mahindra aims to create a seamless transition from the concept to the production-ready vehicle. The XUV e8 promises to blend style, functionality, and sustainability in a single package.
As electric vehicles continue to gain popularity, Mahindra is set to make its mark in the EV segment with the XUV e8. The company’s focus on design and technology is evident in the leaked image, showcasing a vehicle that embodies both power and elegance.
With all these exciting features and design elements, the Mahindra XUV e8 is sure to pique the interest of electric vehicle enthusiasts. As we eagerly await its official launch, Mahindra’s foray into the electric SUV market is a promising step towards a more eco-friendly and sustainable future.
