1 / 10Launch Announcement: Mahindra has unveiled the updated XUV400 EV. The prices range from ₹15.49 lakh to ₹17.49 lakh for the top-spec EL Pro variant. These prices are introductory and valid for deliveries until May 31, 2024.
2 / 10Booking details: Bookings for the XUV400 Pro range will commence tomorrow at 2 pm, with a booking amount of ₹21,000.
3 / 10Key Updates: The main talking points are updates to the dashboard and new features. However, the vehicle remains mechanically unchanged and does not receive major styling updates. Mahindra has also slightly rejigged the variant line-up.
4 / 10Touchscreen Redesign: The primary update to the XUV400 is the new 10.25-inch floating touchscreen. This has necessitated a major redesign of the dashboard. The AC vents now underline the new touchscreen instead of flanking it on the sides as in the outgoing model.
5 / 10Interior Changes: The all-black interior has been replaced with a new black-and-beige dual-tone theme. There’s a new gloss black garnish for the passenger side of the dashboard, but the subtle copper accents have been retained. The steering wheel is also a new flat-bottom unit.
6 / 10Digital Screen: While the instrument binnacle remains the same, there’s an all-new 10.25-inch digital screen replacing the analogue dials. Both new screens on the updated XUV400 Pro now run the Adrenox software that we have seen on the XUV700.
7 / 10Feature Additions: The overall functionality will be a huge step up from the previously available 7.0-inch infotainment interface. Other feature additions include dual-zone climate control with a memory function, a wireless phone charger, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Alexa connectivity, rear USB ports, and rear AC vents.
8 / 10Comparison with Nexon EV: These updates do close the gap to the new Nexon EV. However, the Tata is still better equipped with features like ventilated front seats, a powered tailgate, 360-degree cameras, full-width LED light bands, and an even larger infotainment screen on the top-spec variant.
9 / 10Battery Details: There are no updates on the mechanical front. The EC Pro and EL Pro get the 34.5kWh battery, while the higher-spec EL Pro gets the larger 39.4kWh battery. The former battery has a claimed range of 375km and the latter has a claimed range of 456km, both on the MIDC cycle. Mahindra offers the faster 7.2kW AC charger only on the EL Pro trim.
10 / 10Power and Performance: Both variants of the XUV400 Pro are powered by a front axle-mounted electric motor that produces 150hp and 310Nm of torque. It also continues with disc brakes for all four wheels, regenerative braking and three drive modes.
