Mahindra is working on multiple SUVs utilising ICE, hybrid and all-electric powertrains and they will launch over the next couple of years
Mahindra & Mahindra is laying the groundwork for new products over the next two years. The company is working on multiple SUVs utilising ICE, hybrid and all-electric powertrains and test prototypes have already started making regular appearances on public roads. The refreshed XUV700 will arrive first in early 2026 followed by a string of premium electric models.
The updated XUV700 gets revised bumpers, sleeker headlamp clusters and newly designed alloy wheels. The flush-fitting door handles will stay put when viewed from the sides. Around the back, minor styling tweaks and new body shades are likely. Inside the cabin, Mahindra is preparing to raise the bar with more premium textures.
Expect improved upholstery, new dashboard finishes and a layout that feels more cohesive and upscale than before. A completely reworked cockpit will feature a triple screen arrangement, merging a larger infotainment system with a digital driver’s display and a dedicated passenger-side interface. Powertrain choices, however, are set to remain familiar.
The XUV.e8 based three-row SUV, a battery-powered evolution of the XUV700, has entered its final testing phase and could see the light of day as early as next year. It will mirror the size and stance of its ICE counterpart but adopt a smoother front fascia, sealed-off grille, and unique LED lighting signatures to establish its EV identity.
The interior will reportedly draw heavy inspiration from the brand’s born-electric range – integrating more connected features and digital interfaces. Further up the range, Mahindra is believed to be developing the BE Rall-E – a more adventure-ready take on the BE 6. It will emphasise off-road prowess with an enhanced suspension setup and reinforced exterior cladding.
Power will come from the same electric drivetrains found in the BE 6. Meanwhile, the brand’s lifestyle EV program is also gathering momentum. The Thar EV concept was recently showcased – previewing a five-door electric off-roader. A zero-emission Scorpio is said to be under internal evaluation as well and it could be based on Vision S.
Both are expected to be based on Mahindra’s new NU_IQ platform which enters production by 2027 and will underpin a series of upmarket SUVs. A compact SUV, possibly a baby Scorpio N, is also being tested on roads while the Vision X concept based compact crossover is also expected to arrive in the near future.
