Mahindra is all set to make a big entry in the family EV space with the Mahindra XEV 7e, a three-row electric SUV that packs long distance capability, premium features and serious practicality. Launch is expected in early 2026 and could be one of the biggest electric debuts in India.
Design and Cabin Highlights
The Mahindra XEV 7e is built on the INGLO platform and will carry forward Mahindra’s bold SUV DNA with futuristic design cues. Expect a closed front grille, aero optimized wheels and flush door handles for better efficiency. Inside, the SUV will feel just as advanced with a triple screen dashboard layout – one for the driver, one for infotainment and one for the front passenger. Panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats and multi zone climate control will add to the premium experience.
Performance and Range
Where the Mahindra XEV 7e stands out is its powertrain. Buyers will get to choose between 59 kWh and 79 kWh battery packs, with the larger one delivering over 500 km range on a single charge. Unlike the rear wheel drive XEV 9e, the 7e gets a dual motor all wheel drive setup for better stability and capability for long trips and rough roads.
Safety and Technology
The SUV won’t compromise on safety either. Mahindra will equip it with Level 2 ADAS, 360 degree camera and advanced driver assistance features. The combination of AWD traction and advanced safety tech should make the 7e a great choice for families looking at long distance EV travel.
Price and Rivals
Mahindra hasn’t announced the price yet but industry reports suggest the XEV 7e could be priced between ₹23 lakh and ₹32 lakh (ex-showroom). That will put it against the upcoming Tata Safari EV and other large electric SUVs in the pipeline.
