Mahindra XUV400 EV Formula Edition unveiled
Mahindra XUV400 is the latest electric SUV in the country and while it was officially launched earlier in the year and managed to secure over 10,000 bookings in quick time, a special Formula Edition of Mahindra XUV400 was recently unveiled as well on the sidelines of the upcoming Formula E India debut.
Formula E, the all-electric equivalent of Formula One, makes its India debut on Saturday with the race on the street circuit of Hyderabad. Mahindra Racing is the only Indian team in the fray, besides being one of the oldest since the race season first began in 2011. While the focus would be on how the two Mahindra electric race cars perform on the circuit this Saturday, the spotlight is also on Mahindra’s thrust on the Indian EV market. The XUV400, the electric version of the XUV300, therefore carries the weight of mammoth expectations for the company.
