Refinement to the Next Level

Mahindra have just launched the Pro Range of the all-electric XUV400. With its premium interior, updated tech, and amazing introductory price, we feel it offers a great value for money

WHEN IT WAS FIRST LAUNCHED, THE Mahindra XUV400 immediately stood out as an electric vehicle (EV) that was fun to drive. The more we drove it, the more we were convinced that it was remarkable value for money. Mahindra have refreshed their electric SUV and its latest iteration is offered in two variants, the EC Pro and the EL Pro, the latter being available in two battery capacities. The value factor has been carried forward into this facelift as well because it starts from as low as Rs 15.49 lakh (ex-showroom).

To fully experience the changes in this latest model, we spent a day behind the wheel of the top-of-the-line EL Pro variant in Pune to see how smoothly it would meld into our daily routine. The hallmark of a good electric car is the ease with which it blends into the life of a motorist.

With a 39.4-kWh battery and a claimed range of a generous 456 kilometres, range anxiety was the furthest thing from our minds when we began our day. One thing that could not be ignored was the amount of attention it attracted as we drove along.
