Mahindra seems to have garnered a lot of attention with the price reveal of the XUV400, and the carmaker frittered no time in opening the order books for the electric SUV. It was made available to book from 26th January, and Mahindra received over 10,000 bookings for the EV during the long Republic Day weekend. These orders account for nearly seven months of delivery time.

Priced from Rs 15.99 lakh (ex-showroom), the XUV400's introductory prices will be applicable for the first 5,000 bookings for each of the two variants namely EC and EL. The EC variant gets the 34.5kWh battery pack, while the EL gets a slightly bigger 39.4kWh pack with a maximum MIDC-claimed range of 456km. The EC trim offers a claimed range of 375km.

Both the trims get a 150PS and 310Nm electric motor which delivers power to the front wheels and takes the EV from nought to 100kmph in 8.3 seconds. A 3.3kW charger is offered as standard for the EC trim, which can be upgraded to the 7.2kW charger for an extra Rs 50,000. The latter is standard equipment for the EL trim.

Deliveries for the EL trim will begin in March, while deliveries for the EC trim will kick off during the Diwali season. The Mahindra XUV400 is a direct rival to the Tata Nexon EV, while it can be regarded as an affordable alternative to the Hyundai Kona Electric and MG ZS EV.
