      by

      Mahindra XUV700 Electric SUV RenderTata Motors is prepping Harrier EV and Safari EV that should rival upcoming Mahindra XUV700 EV (XUV.e8) and XUV700 EV Coupe (XUV.e9)If there is one car manufacturer in India that excels in producing SUVs, it is Mahindra Auto. Starting from the recently launched XUV3XO, Mahindra has a robust SUV portfolio that is aimed to cater to a wide range of audiences. Mahindra is adding a couple of new premium electric SUVs based on the INGLO platform, starting with XUV.e8 (XUV700 EV). Here’s how it would look at launch.Mahindra XUV700 EV Rendered – First INGLO vehicle to launchThe company is working an electric version of XUV700 and it will be the first vehicle to launch based on the company’s new INGLO platform. The goal of INGLO platform-based vehicles is to increase the appeal of made-in-India products on a global stage. In that regard, Mahindra seems to have done a great job.2025 Mahindra XUV700 EV HeadlightBased on a multitude of spy shots that surfaced on the internet, we have come up with our render of how a production-spec Mahindra XUV.e8 might look like. There was also a working prototype that was showcased at M.A.D.E. HQ in the UK as well. Rushlane’s render, penned down by Pratyush Rout, adheres to the company’s approach to this upcoming electric vehicle.Overall silhouette is still largely similar to the current XUV700. Establishing that all-important relevance with its ICE counterpart. The top hat of XUV700 on INGLO platform retains most of its design identity. However, it gets a vastly different front-end design with a more imposing futuristic fascia.2025 Mahindra XUV700 EV HeadlightIt gets a closed-off grill, followed by massive inverted L-shaped LED DRL signatures that are connected by an LED light bar. Headlights are all-new and are vertically arranged, which seems to be a trend these days. Similar to XUV400, it gets many bronze elements in its lower bumper, headlights and its logo.Mahindra XUV700 Electric SUV RenderBronze highlights are seen on the car’s window belt line too and neatly flow into the rear. New Aero design alloy wheels are notable as well. While the fascia gets an all-new design, the rear is almost identical to the XUV700. Even the tail lights have been carried over.What to expect?Interiors will get a subtle refresh, though. Previous set of spy shots has shown a brand new 2-spoke steering wheel with a dedicated new Mahindra logo for XUV.e lineup. Production version will retain these attributes. Also new, is a massive layout of triple-screen setup where one is for instrumentation, one for infotainment and the third for front passenger.Mahindra XUV700 Electric SUV RenderThe centre console is slightly redesigned too. Where features are concerned, Mahindra XUV700 EV should be loaded to the gills. We’re talking about level-2 ADAS, soft-touch materials on the inside, electrically adjustable front seats with memory, ventilated seats, panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control, a front trunk and many more.Where powertrains are concerned, the INGLO platform is said to bear multiple battery capacities ranging between 60 kWh and 80 kWh. With around 500 km of claimed range. When launched, XUV.e8 is likely to offer both single-motor and dual-motor AWD layouts. Launch of Mahindra XUV 700 EV is expected in 2025. It could be priced in the Rs 35 lakh range. More

According to him, there were at least five to six individuals seated in the car. Testing for Indian conditions, we assumed. Hey, don’t ask me.Features and AttributesUpcoming eVX is burdened with setting footprints across the globe. In that regard, it has to compete at the highest level against both established players and newbies. So, the premium quotient is pretty high on this vehicle. Suzuki is offering a floating centre console in eVX and we see a modern dashboard layout.There should be extensive soft-touch materials all around and from previous spy shots, seats look like they belong in a premium vehicle. Steering wheel gets a flat-bottom effect and looks sophisticated enough.Maruti EVX Electric SUV InteriorsOn the outside, we get projector headlights, C-Pillar mounted rear door handles, radar and camera based ADAS, a 360-camera for blind-spot monitoring, a charging port on the front-left quarter panel and more. The battery is speculated to be around 45 kWh unit to 60 kWh unit and we can expect both single-motor FWD and dual-motor AWD layouts.Promised range might be around the 500 km mark on a single charge. Like its ICE portfolio, Suzuki is likely to strike price competitiveness. There is no launch timeline announced, but 2025 might be the year and eVX may globally debut in India.Also read – Maruti eVX rivalling Vinfast VF e34 spied More

      MG Intelligent CUV Spied – India’s First Crossover Utility Vehicle Launch Soon

      by

      MG Intelligent CUV SpiedWhere product positioning is concerned, JSW MG Motor is pitting their upcoming premium EV as an ‘Intelligent CUV’JSW MG Motor JV has announced a product offensive in India and aims to populate its portfolio with intelligent NEVs (New Energy Vehicles). The company intends to recreate the Maruti moment in India with at least 1 new vehicle launch every three to six months. First of these vehicles from MG is termed as an ‘Intelligent CUV’ as seen with the recent spy shots.MG Intelligent CUV Spied – What is a CUV?The company’s electric portfolio in India is currently populated with Comet EV at the lower end of the spectrum, followed by ZS EV. MG seems to be eying the premium electric vehicle segment and is developing India’s India’s first ‘Intelligent CUV’.New MG Electric HatchbackThe same term has been spotted on the side of the company’s upcoming premium electric vehicle test mule. MG is positioning their upcoming electric vehicle as an Intelligent CUV. Where CUV stands for Crossover Utility Vehicle.Considering that MG has begun to use its marketing terms and looking at increasing frequency of test mule sightings, one can speculate that the launch is nearing. Say, around the festive season, perhaps? MG intends to redefine premium electric vehicle experience in India with their upcoming Intelligent CUV.MG Intelligent CUVWhat to expect?Looking at the test mule, MG has taken greater strides to cover it up with camouflage. Even the wheels get camouflage to hide its aero design. This upcoming electric vehicle is likely to take the ‘Excelor EV’ name that has been recently trademarked.Where design is concerned, this vehicle looks like it is a large hatchback. However, the company might incorporate a few crossover elements with this vehicle to fit into the Indian market. Length could be between 4.3m and 4.5m and we should expect a lot of space on the inside.MG Intelligent CUVLooking at the silhouette, MG Intelligent CUV has a large glass area all-around and the front windshield is steeply raked for better aerodynamics. There are quarter glasses at the front and rear for better visibility too. Owing to its premium positioning, there will be a large panoramic sunroof as well.On the inside, we can expect soft-touch materials and good overall fit and finish, in typical MG fashion. A large free-standing touchscreen infotainment screen, fully digital instrument screen, minimal centre console, electronic parking brake, circular steering control pods, circular rear AC vents, and others are spotted attributes.MG Intelligent CUVWhere powertrains are concerned, MG Intelligent CUV may be powered by the same battery and motor as MG ZS EV. This means around 50 kWh battery with around 500 km promised range and a 175 bhp and 280 Nm single motor, driving the front wheels. There is a good probability that MG might launch their upcoming Intelligent CUV around the festive season.MG Intelligent CUV More

      China’s Chery Exeed Platforms to Power Future Jaguar Land Rover Electric Cars

      by

      Future JLR EVs to be built on China’s Chery platformJLR is following other Western legacy car manufacturers to source platforms for their next-gen vehicles from Chinese OEMsYou must have seen Land Rover’s official teasers of the new all-electric Range Rover testing in extreme conditions. The company claims it will be the quietest Range Rover ever made, owing to the obvious advantages of an electric powertrain. Now, it is revealed that, JLR’s (Jaguar Land Rover) future EVs will be based on platforms sourced from Chinese carmaker Chery.Jaguar Land Rover And Chery – The long-standing partnershipIt is a known fact that JLR and Chery have a long and fruitful partnership, mainly in the Chinese market. Both brands entered a partnership in 2012 and have been co-producing vehicles. The two companies even share a car manufacturing facility in China that has been manufacturing cars from 2014.Super Hybrid Platform By Chery To Be Used On Jaguar Land Rover CarsIn a major move by Tata Motors owned JLR and Chery Group owned Exeed, the joint venture is now extended where JLR will use two of the potent platforms developed by Exeed for their future vehicles. As confirmed by Yin Tongyao, president of Chery Group, JLR will be their new platform recipient. JLR will source Exeed’s M3X and E0X platforms.As per the agreement, JLR will be able to freely use both platforms on their next-gen vehicles that could be launched under Range Rover, Discovery and Defender umbrellas. M3X is locally also called T2X and it supports both traditional ICE powertrains and even PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) powertrains.Electric Range RoverWhat are these platforms capable of?This very platform, touted as ‘Super Hybrid’ in a few Chery cars like Exeed RX PHEV, Chery Fulwin T9 and others, is capable of achieving nine operating modes, 11 gear combinations, over 1000-km range, and a thermal efficiency of 44.5%. All this, with the help of an IC engine and two electric motors paired to the world’s first gearbox to adopt two electric motors.The other modular platform that JLR is sourcing from Chery Group owned Exeed is the E0X, which was co-developed with Huawei. This platform is suitable for both EVs and EREV (Extended Range EVs) hybrids and incorporates an 800V architecture. With 12 kWh/100 km consumption rating, air suspension, advanced autonomous driving and attributes, it is fit for high-end vehicles with range extenders.Currently, E0X platform underpins Chery Group vehicles like Exlantix ES, Exlantix ET, Luxeed S7, and Luxeed R7. These platforms could fill in the blanks where JLR is currently lacking, which is new energy vehicles.JLR’s move to source Chinese platforms might prove shocking to many. However, it is a more widespread phenomenon than one might think. Auto giant, Volkswagen, has announced XPeng’s platform. Audi is sourcing SAIC’s platform. Brands like Lotus, Smart and Volvo are using Geely’s platforms and Renault is sourcing Chinese technology for its upcoming Twingo too.Source More
