Here are all the details of the Indian automaker's new EV.
Mahindra XEV 9e: Design
Mahindra XEV 9e was widely considered to be an electrified version of the XUV700. This speculation seems to be invalid when taking a look at the design of the electric SUV. The front fascia of the EV consists of a triangular headlamp cluster, which is surrounded by LED DRLs on two sides that continue to cover the width of the EV. Right above the DRL is the new logo of the brand.
