Discover the Mahindra XEV 7e, an all-electric version of the XUV700. With a spacious three-row layout, dual-motor AWD, and various other premium features.

In a bold move to redefine the Indian electric SUV landscape and assert its dominance on the global stage, Mahindra has launched its first two models under the Electric Origin banner, the BE.6e and XEV 9e. These groundbreaking SUVs are part of Mahindra’s strategy to electrify their portfolio while delivering cutting-edge design and technology. Following their success, the company is gearing up for the third offering in the lineup: the XEV 7e, essentially an all-electric version of the popular XUV700.

Mahindra Prepares for Next Big Leap with the XEV 7e: India’s First Electric XUV700

What is the XEV 7e?

The XEV 7e is Mahindra’s answer to the growing demand for three-row electric SUVs in India. While its sibling, the XEV 9e, flaunts a coupe-like design and sporty stance, the XEV 7e takes a more practical approach with a non-coupe silhouette and third-row seating, a feature absent in the XEV 9e.

According to leaked images, the XEV 7e closely resembles the XEV 9e in terms of features and equipment but incorporates key distinctions that set it apart. Its design marries elements from the XEV 9e and the XUV700, making it a unique hybrid of familiarity and innovation. The leaked pictures also suggest that the vehicle is production-ready, hinting at an imminent launch.

Trademark and Launch Timeline

Mahindra has officially trademarked the name "XEV 7e" in India, alongside the XEV 9e. Both applications, filed simultaneously, have cleared the initial formalities. Industry insiders expected the XEV 7e to debut alongside the BE.6e and XEV 9e. However, Mahindra appears to be strategically delaying the launch, likely to maintain market buzz for its newly introduced models.

Given the overwhelming response to the BE.6e and XEV 9e, the XEV 7e might be positioned as Mahindra’s ace-in-the-hole, ready to step in once the initial excitement around the current launches subsides.

Design

The XEV 7e borrows heavily from its siblings while retaining its own distinct personality:

  • Front Fascia: Mirrors the aggressive design language of the XEV 9e, complete with sharp LED lighting and a dynamic grille.
  • Side Profile and Rear: Derived from the XUV700, ensuring a balanced and practical SUV design.
  • Wheels: The XEV 7e introduces unique wheel designs, enhancing its premium aesthetic.
  • Panoramic Sunroof: Notably, it is the only Mahindra Electric Origin SUV to feature this popular luxury addition.

Inside, the XEV 7e features a premium cabin with a triple-screen layout, ambient lighting, and high-quality materials. Unlike the bench seats in the XUV700, the XEV 7e offers captain chairs in the second row, emphasizing comfort and luxury.

Feature Highlights

Mahindra has equipped the XEV 7e with top-tier features to ensure it stands out in the competitive EV market:

  • Technology: A triple-screen setup, including a driver display, infotainment, and auxiliary screen, with Mahindra’s VisionX HUD for augmented driving information.
  • Audio System: A 1400W 16-speaker Harman Kardon system for an immersive sound experience.
  • ADAS Suite: Level-2+ Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) for safety and convenience.
  • Powered Tailgate & Ambient Lighting: Elevating the premium quotient.

Performance and Powertrain

The XEV 7e stands out with its dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup, a feature not available in the BE.6e and XEV 9e. This configuration offers improved traction and off-roading capabilities, as evidenced by selectable traction modes like Snow.

Performance expectations include:

  • Combined Output: Over 350 bhp and 450 Nm torque.
  • Acceleration: Improved figures thanks to dual-motor dynamics.

With this setup, the XEV 7e positions itself as a more performance-oriented family SUV while maintaining practicality.

Market Positioning

The XEV 7e represents Mahindra’s effort to bridge the gap between sporty EVs like the XEV 9e and practical SUVs like the XUV700. While pricing details remain under wraps, the XEV 7e is expected to slot between the BE.6e and XEV 9e, targeting premium family SUV buyers looking for electric alternatives.

By offering a spacious three-row configuration and dual-motor performance, the XEV 7e aims to capture both urban families and adventure-seekers, further solidifying Mahindra’s reputation in the electric SUV space.

The Road Ahead

As Mahindra expands its Electric Origin lineup, the XEV 7e promises to be a game-changer. Its combination of practicality, performance, and advanced features could make it a strong contender in India’s evolving EV market. With the XEV and BE sub-brands gaining momentum, Mahindra’s electric vision is well on its way to setting new benchmarks, both domestically and globally.

For enthusiasts eagerly awaiting the next big launch, the XEV 7e could very well be the vehicle that defines Mahindra’s electric future.
