Mahindra recently launched two new electric offerings under two new brand names, one of which is the ‘XEV’. The Indian marque had already revealed its plans of electrifying the XUV700 SUV, which is likely to be a part of its XEV portfolio.  Now, Mahindra has filed a trademark for the all-electric XUV700 that suggests it could be called the XEV 7e, which was earlier known as XUV.e8 when it was shown as a concept in 2022 Recently, leaked images of the production-spec version of the XEV 7e surfaced online, revealing both its exterior and interior.

Exterior

At the first glance, you will notice that the all-electric version of the XUV700 has a lot of similarities with the recently launched Mahindra XEV 9e. The fascia specially looks identical to that of the XEV 9e, thanks to inverted L-shaped connected LED DRLs and a split headlight setup. 

However, the XEV 7e is an SUV and its silhouette is the same as that of the XUV700 whereas the XEV 9e is an SUV-coupe. Though we haven’t got the complete look at the rear end of the XEV 7e, however based on the boot image, the wraparound LED tail lights also appear the same as those on the XUV700.

XEV 9e Inspired Cabin

The cabin of the XEV 7e looks almost identical to that of the recently launched Mahindra XEV 9e. It gets the same dual-tone black and white cabin theme along with piano black  inserts on the centre console. The main highlight of the dashboard is its triple screen setup (probably a 12.3-inch each) for the driver’s display, infotainment, and passenger display. It also gets a 2-spoke steering wheel with an illuminated ‘Infinity’ logo.

Based on the leaked images, the XEV 7e will come with amenities like multi-zone AC, a premium sound system, powered and ventilated front seats with memory function, and a panoramic sunroof. Its safety kit will include level 2 advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), while it is also likely to be equipped with up to 7 airbags and a 360-degree camera as seen on the XEV 9e.
