New Delhi. Mahindra & Mahindra is all set to expand its electric SUV range with the new XEV 7e SUV. This electric SUV is going to be launched in the coming months. This SUV will be launched in the end of 2025 and after that it will be launched in the market early next year. Mahindra XEV 7e is basically a 7-seater variant of the XEV 9e coupe SUV, which will be designed to attract family EV buyers. Recently, a heavily camouflaged test mule of this SUV was caught on camera at a charging station.
The prototype seen featured several design elements such as multi-spoke alloy wheels, flash-type door handles, integrated ORVMs with turn indicators, slightly raised wheel arches, a panoramic sunroof and a small rear spoiler. The overall design language is expected to be similar to that of the XEV 9e; However, the XEV 7e will be longer and larger than its sibling.
