The Mahindra XUV800 is likely to be the electric derivative of the brand's flagship SUV- the XUV700. The electric SUV is likely to be similar to the ICE variant albeit with few design changes going with its EV status. It is expected to use the same basic layout, same silhouette and same three row seating configuration. Speaking of its mechanicals, the battery pack could be upward of 80kWh in capacity, and it will come with one or two permanent-magnet brushless motors for 2 wheel drive (2WD) or 4 wheel drive (4WD) setup and power outputs ranging from 150 bhp to 310 bhp.

The electric SUV will likely have the same mechanicals as the midsize coupe SUV, but will likely offer more spacious cabin and luggage area.
