Mahindra XEV 7e spotted ahead of launch, will share its platform with XEV 9e and BE 6
- Just like the BE 6 and XEV 9e, the XEV 7e will also be based on the INGLO platform.
After the successful launch of the XEV 9e and the BE 6, Mahindra's neXt step is to launch the XEV 7e in the Indian market. The XEV 7e was recently spotted while it was being tested in Nagpur. The electric SUV will take the top hat from the XUV700 but will be underpinned by the INGLO platform. There would be few differences between the XEV 7e and the XUV700.
In the spy shot, the rear of the new XEV 7e can be seen. At first glance, it just looks like a regular XUV700 but when you look closely then you would notice that the exhaust pipe is not there. This confirms that it is the XEV 7e and not the XUV700.

What will the design changes be with the Mahindra XEV 7e?
As mentioned above, the XEV 7e will use the top hat from the XUV700. However, the front-end will be different. It will be taken from the XEV 9e so there would be vertically stacked LED headlamps along with a closed grille and a horizontal lightbar. On the sides, there would be flush sitting door handles that would be motorized and new alloy wheels that would probably come with aero wheel covers.
