In November last year, Mahindra revealed that a pure
electric variant of the XUV300 is planned for launch. IAB’s automotive
illustrator Shoeb Kalania has created a rendering of this battery-powered
variant.
The Mahindra XUV300 Electric (codename: Mahindra
S210) will arrive as the first of the next generation electric vehicles from
Mahindra Electric. Like Nissan, Hyundai and Renault, Mahindra Electric wants to
launch its new-age EV with two different battery packs for targeting price-concerned
and range-concerned customers both.
The Mahindra XUV300 Electric in our rendering has
unique styling cues to set itself apart. Teal blue accents, distinctive, blue
“X” graphics on the sides, more aerodynamic alloy wheels, blue LED DRL connecting
the headlamps and fog lamps are reminders that it is the eco-friendly SUV.
The upper grille and lower grille are gone, of
course, for there’s no engine under the hood requiring cooling. The closed-off
upper grille and lower grille both have a different pattern, and there’s a
small +ME logo on the front fender to let onlookers know this is a Mahindra
Electric model.
The Mahindra XUV300 Electric will reach showrooms in
mid-2020. The standard variant with petrol and diesel engines is exactly a
month away.
