Mahindra XUV400:With prices starting at Rs 15.49 lakh for the base model and going up to Rs 17.49 lakh for the top-spec EL Pro variant, Mahindra has unveiled the new XUV400. The rates are for initial delivery and are valid through May 31, 2024. Tomorrow at 2:00 PM, reservations for the XUV400 Pro range go live for Rs 21,000.
Updates to the dashboard and new features are the main talking points, but it doesn’t receive any significant styling updates or mechanical changes. For as long as supplies of the outgoing model last, the updated range will be sold alongside it. On the Mahindra XUV400, Mahindra has also added the colour Nebula Blue.
- 10.25-inch floating infotainment screen now available for XUV400
- additionally acquires wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
- EC Pro and EL Pro, two new trims, are now available.
Mahindra XUV400: New interior and Features
The centre piece of the XUV400’s update is the new 10.25-inch floating touchscreen, but it has required a major redesign of the dashboard. Unlike the previous model, which had the AC vents flanking it on the sides, the new touchscreen now has them underlining it. The HVAC panel has also been completely redesigned, with new switchgear and a digital MID situated in between the large central dial that was previously there and two rotary dials instead.
The all-black interior has also been replaced with a new black-and-beige dual-tone design; the passenger side of the dashboard now has a gloss black garnish, but the subtle copper accents have not changed. Along with the new flat-bottom steering wheel, the instrument binnacle remains the same, but the analogue dials have been replaced with a brand-new 10.25-inch digital screen.
The updated XUV400 Pro’s two new screens now run the same Adrenox software as the XUV700, so its overall functionality will be far more advanced than the outdated 7.0-inch infotainment interface that was previously available. Additional features added to the XUV400’s equipment list include rear USB ports, wireless phone charging, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual-zone climate control with a memory function, and rear AC vents. The latter feature was greatly missed.
With features like ventilated front seats, a powered tailboard, 360-degree cameras, full-width LED light bands and an even larger infotainment screen on the top-spec variant, the Tata is still better equipped than the new Nexon EV, even with these updates.
Mahindra XUV400 EV Remains Mechanically Unchanged
As previously stated, there are no mechanical updates. The 34.5kWh battery is included with both the EC Pro and the EL Pro, though the latter can also be ordered with the larger 39.4kWh battery. For both battery options, the EL Pro receives a faster 7.2kW AC charger, while the EC Pro only receives a 3.3kW AC charger. On the MIDC cycle, the claimed ranges for the two batteries are 375 km for the former and 456 km for the latter.
A 150 horsepower and 310 Nm torque electric motor mounted on the front axle powers both XUV400 Pro models. It goes on with regenerative braking, three drive modes, and disc brakes on all four wheels.
