Exteriors
How will it look like?
The all-electric version of the Mahindra XUV300 will look similar to the fuel-powered XUV300. However, it would come with several styling updates including a closed front grille, different decals, new badging, etc. to differentiate itself from the latter. We can also expect the upcoming car to come with indicator-mounted ORVMs, diamond-cut alloy wheels, and an all-LED setup for lighting.

The details about the interiors of the fully-electric XUV300 are pretty scarce at the moment. But, we expect to see a premium five-seater cabin loaded with hi-tech features. It is also likely to house a fully-digital instrument cluster as well as a touchscreen infotainment panel with connectivity features. The upcoming model would offer the same safety features that are available on the fuel-powered XUV300.
