The Mahindra XUV700 is preparing for an electric transformation and is expected to launch as the ‘XEV 7e.’ This electric SUV will serve as a counterpart to the sporty XEV 9e SUV-coupe, providing a more conventional SUV option. Not long ago, the production-ready design of the XEV 7e was revealed online, providing us with a complete view of its exterior.
The electric XEV 7e maintains a recognizable shape, taking inspiration from its ICE counterpart’s stylish window contours and LED taillights, the XUV700. However, at the forefront, it draws inspiration from the XEV 9e, featuring inverted L-shaped linked LED DRLs and a divided headlight style. On top of that, the XEV 7e showcases aerodynamic alloy wheels designed for EVs, enhancing aesthetics and efficiency.
Mahindra XEV 7e Expected Features
Mahindra might pack the all-electric XUV700 or XEV 7e with seriously premium tech. Think of a triple-screen setupโlikely 12.3 inches eachโfor the driver’s display, infotainment, and passenger screen. Add to that multi-zone AC, a high-end sound system, powered and ventilated front seats with memory function, and a panoramic sunroof for that luxury feel.

On the safety front, expect level 2 ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems), up to 7 airbags, and a 360-degree cameraโborrowing some of the top-notch features from the XEV 9e.
Expected Price & Direct Rivals
The Mahindra XEV 7e is anticipated to have a starting price of โน20.9 lakh ( $25,200 est) before taxes. It’s preparing to become a direct rival to the Tata Safari EV while acting as a traditional SUV option to the dynamic XEV 9e.
