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.
