      2025 Mahindra XUV400 EV Spied With XUV3XO Design – Is It Getting Smaller Sub 4m Size?

      by

      2025 Mahindra XUV400 EV SpiedFacelifted Mahindra XUV400 EV will primarily rival Tata Nexon EV – It will also take on upcoming EVs from Maruti and HyundaiBeing at the top of India’s SUV game, Mahindra knows that it has to continually evolve with changing times and buyer trends. The company recently updated its aging XUV300 in a major overhaul inside and out. This very treatment is also incoming with XUV400. Will it be called XUV400 facelift? Or XUV4XO EV? That isn’t known yet.2025 Mahindra XUV400 EV SpiedGiven Mahindra’s strategies with XUV300 and XUV400, there is a very good chance that the company will carry over XUV3XO’s fascia to XUV4XO EV or XUV400 facelift (name not confirmed). Spy video by PowerStrokePS shows the same approach. The fascia, however, will continue to split opinions.2025 Mahindra XUV400 EV SpiedSaid test mule is fully covered in camouflage, and we could see identical front design on this vehicle as an XUV3XO. There are three grill openings on this particular test mule, just like XUV3XO. Final production version of XUV400 EV facelift might feature unique bumpers and closed-off grill designs.The main attribute that establishes this test mule as an electric offering is a charging port on front left quarter panel. Similar positioning as seen on current XUV400. Alloy wheels look like they are identical to the ones on XUV3XO. These are 17-inchers and have twin 5-spoke design pattern.2025 Mahindra XUV400 EV SpiedThe big surprise?There is, however, a major revelation seen on this test mule that we weren’t expecting at all. If we took XUV300 and XUV400, there would be a size difference between those two vehicles. XUV3XO is a hair under 4 meters in length, while XUV400 is 4.2 meters in length, as it didn’t have to meet B Segment length constraints.2025 Mahindra XUV400 EV SpiedIt seems that is not the case with upcoming XUV400 facelift. This one is looking like a sub 4m in length, just like XUV3XO. The only real benefit of XUV400 over XUV300 was boot space. But XUV3XO has a larger boot space (on paper) that is enough to rival Nexon EV. Thus negating the need of making a longer vehicle.This step will also ensure manufacturing efficiency and cost effectiveness in production. Every single body panel of XUV3XO can be used on XUV4XO. Safety features like 360-camera, Level-2 camera based ADAS, 5 Stars crash rating structure 6 airbags, TCS, ESP, all-four disc brakes along with LED lighting all around, will be identical to XUV3XO.2025 Mahindra XUV400 EV SpiedWhat to expect?On the inside, upcoming Mahindra XUV4XO EV will pack all the features as XUV3XO. We’re talking about soft touch materials, LED interior lights, 10.2-inch infotainment and instrument screens, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control, push button start, leatherette seats and others.[embedded content]Powertrains-wise, Mahindra XUV4XO EV might come equipped with the same 34.5 kWh (375 km range) and 39.4 kWh (456 km range) battery options as XUV400. The same 148 bhp and 310 Nm single electric motor as XUV400 is likely too. Launch might happen later this year or in 2025.Also read – Mahindra Thar Roxx teaser confirms new features More

      by

      Royal Enfield Classic 350 LED Headlight. Image – Throttle 98With better features than before, the updated Royal Enfield Classic 350 will further consolidate its position as India’s No 1 classic bikeRoyal Enfield has been leading the 300cc to 500cc motorcycle segment for a very long time. The company is at a point where it is unbeatable by rivals. Particularly, Royal Enfield Classic 350 has emerged as a phenomenon. Now, there will be a major update to Classic 350 to rejig its variants and features list. Here’s some leaked info regarding the same.Updated Royal Enfield Classic 350India’s leading classic motorcycle manufacturer, Royal Enfield, boasts an extensive range of 350cc, 450cc, and 650cc models. The 350cc lineup, particularly the Classic 350, dominates the sales charts and stands as the company’s top-selling model by a significant margin.Royal Enfield Classic 350 Test Mule File PhotoClassic 350 seems to have gotten the formula right and has appealed to target audience. Even though Classic 350 offers an experience that is unrivaled, it doesn’t fare well against rivals when you lay down the equipment and features. Royal Enfield is working on it and will unveil an updated Classic 350 on August 12th in Mumbai.Ahead of launch, a recent report has spilled the beans, revealing what the updated Classic 350 has to offer. For starters, updated Royal Enfield Classic 350 will be offered in Heritage, Heritage Premium, Signals, Dark and Classic Chrome. For the first time, Classic 350 will be getting LED headlights, tail lights and pilot lamps as standard.Royal Enfield Classic 350 Test Mule File PhotoOnly the top variants like Dark and Classic Chrome will get LED turn indicators as standard, while they are optional on other variants. Same is the case with adjustable brake and clutch levers, which will be standard only on Dark and Classic Chrome. Features that are standard across the range are gear position indicator and a Tyoe-C USB charger.Speculations suggest lower trims will come with drum brakes at the rear with single-channel ABS, to keep entry-level price competitive. Other speculations suggest only the Dark variants will get alloy wheels and tubeless tyres as standard, while they will be optional with other four trims.Specs and PricingOther than these incremental updates, updated Royal Enfield Classic 350 will continue to be positioned on the same J-platform like its predecessor. The same J-Series 349cc 20.2 bhp and 27 Nm single-cylinder air-cooled SOHC 2V engine will be carried over, mated to the same 5-speed gearbox. We wish there is a slipper clutch with this update.Componentry like RSU telescopic front forks, twin-shock rear setup, 19-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels and others will continue as is. There will be a hike in price and we should expect the base price closer to Rs 2 lakh (Ex-sh) mark. Launch is on August 12th, 2024.Source More
