Mahindra revealed the XUV400 EV back in September 2022 but kept the prices and variant details a secret for its 2023 launch. Ahead of its launch, a document leak revealed the variant details of the upcoming electric SUV from Mahindra.

As per the leaked document, Mahindra are likely to offer the XUV400 in 3 variants — Base, EP and EL. We do not expect Mahindra to follow the same nomenclature, but we can expect to see 3 variants of the electric SUV.

2023 Mahindra XUV400 — Dimensions

Mahindra XUV400 is the electric derivative of the XUV300 but it’s longer. Since it doesn’t use a petrol or diesel engine, it doesn’t need to meet the sub-4m length limit to remain eligible for the lower tax bracket. With a longer length, the XUV400 will look like a bigger SUV in person and offer much better road presence while somewhat justifying a higher price tag.

The XUV400 is 4200mm long, 1821mm wide, 1634mm tall and has a wheelbase of 2600mm. Take a look at the dimensions of the XUV400 against its rivals:

MAHINDRA XUV400 VS RIVALS DIMENSION COMPARISON
	XUV400	XUV300	Nexon EV Max	ZS EV
Length	4200mm	3995mm	3993mm	4323mm
Width	1821mm	1821mm	1811mm	1809mm
Height	1634mm	1627mm	1616mm	1649mm
Wheelbase	2600mm	2600mm	2498mm	2585mm
Boot Space	378L	257L	350L	–
Ground Clearance	200L	180mm	190mm	–
Fuel Tank	NA	42-lt	NA	NA
Tyre Size (Base)	–	205/65 R16	215/60 R16	215/55 R17
Tyre Size (Top)	205/65 R16	205/65 R16	215/60 R16	215/55 R17

Because of the longer length of the XUV400 it has a 378-litre boot space, which is 121 litres more than the XUV300. In addition to that, it also offers 200mm ground clearance, which is 20mm more than that of the XUV300. Both of these areas were a cause for concern for the potential XUV300 buyers as it has the lowest boot space and ground clearance figures among B2-segment SUVs.

2023 Mahindra XUV400 — Powertrain Details

Take a look at the powertrain specifications of the XUV400 against its arch rival, the Nexon EV Max.

XUV400 vs NEXON EV MAX \| POWERTRAIN

Despite offering a marginally smaller battery pack, the XUV400 manages to offer 19km longer claimed range than the Tata Nexon EV Max. Additionally, the XUV400 also deserves points for offering better power and torque than the EV Max.

Mahindra will launch the XUV300 in early 2023 and it will go up against the likes of the Tata Nexon EV Max, Hyundai Kona Electric, MG ZS EV and BYD Atto 3. We expect Mahindra to price the XUV400 a bit higher than the Nexon EV Max. This way, it’s undercutting the C-segment electric SUVs while offering comparable size while offering a significantly bigger vehicle than the Nexon EV Max for only a small premium.
