2024 Mahindra XUV400 PRO Interior: New Vs Old Compared

The Mahindra XUV400 EV, basically an all-electric version of the XUV300, has received an update with new PRO variants. While exterior changes are limited to the new shade and shark fin antenna, the new variants feature revised interiors, and new features. In this read, we will explain these interior updates by comparing them to the interiors of the outgoing variants.

With this model year update, Mahindra has significantly revamped the interior of the XUV400, which was dated in the outgoing model. For starters, the design is new and gets a larger 10.25-inch floating infotainment system as opposed to the 7-inch unit that’s recessed in the dashboard.

To accommodate the new infotainment system, the AC vents have also been redesigned and are now horizontal in its placement. It also boasts a revised climate control panel (with dual zones) as opposed to the single-zone manual AC of the older car. Also, you now get an updated steering wheel design adding to the fresh look in the cabin. 

Another visual upgrade that’s easily noticeable is that the all-black theme in the outgoing model gets replaced by dual-tone black/beige theme which adds premium touch inside the cabin.

The traditional analogue instrument cluster in the current model has been replaced by a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display in the updated XUV400. It has multiple customisation options and can even display the in-car navigation for better viewability. In addition to the new features mentioned above, other additions include wireless support for Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, rear AC vents, USB type-C charging ports, dual-zone climate control, and 55+ connected car tech features.

However, compared to the current model, the updated XUV400 retains features such as a 6-speaker sound system, height-adjustable driver seat, a single-pane sunroof, keyless entry with push-button start/stop, and wireless phone charging. Safety features include, six airbags, ABS with EBD, rear defogger, electronic stability control, tyre pressure monitoring system, automatic headlamps, rain sensing wipers, and a reversing camera with parking sensors.

Mahindra offers the updated XUV400 EV in two broad trims: EC PRO and EL PRO. In the powertrain department, you have the option to choose from a 34.5 kWh or 39.4 kWh battery pack variant, with the latter delivering a claimed range of 456 km. With this update, the top-spec EL PRO variant can now be had with both the battery pack options. For a detailed look at the updated XUV400, check out our earlier report.
