The Mahindra Funster concept has been
unveiled at Auto Expo 2020. It is one of 18 different Mahindra models on
display at the show.
Apart from the fact that the Funster is an
EV, Mahindra says that the show car is a hardtop roadster concept. The company
hasn’t revealed all the specifications of this concept with a 2+2 seating
layout. However, it has released the main specifications related to the
powertrain.
The Mahindra Funster concept uses dual
motors that generate maximum system power of 312 PS. The motors get
their energy from a 59.2 kWh battery pack. They allow the car to hit nought to
100 km/h in under 5 seconds and achieve a top speed of 200 km/h. The large
battery pack offers an impressive driving range of 520 km.
Mahindra does not plan to launch a
production version of the Funster concept. However, it will use the design cues
of this model in the next-gen XUV500 (codename: W601). The front-end, dashboard
and switchgear of this show car may find their way into the three-row SUV in a
toned-down format. The company will launch the all-new XUV500 at the end of
this year or early next year.
