It was in early 2024 that the facelifted version of the Mahindra XUV 300, Mahindra XUV 3XO, was launched. Now, there are some spy shots that have surfaced of the 3XO with copper-coloured badging (typical of Mahindra EVs) and a charging port on the front fender, which is making everything think that the same would be the XUV 3XO EV.

The spied model was partially draped in camouflage at the front and rear, however it was quite noticeable that the EV version has a similar design to its ICE (internal combustion engine) counterpart.
However, the EV version will come with some EV-specific design elements like a blanked-off grille and copper-coloured badging. A copper-coloured roof was also spotted.
It was the front fender that was the biggest highlight of these spy shots. The front fender had a charging port and an alloy wheel design that look the same as those of the ICE version. There was a a connected LED light setup spotted at the back.
The rest of the design elements are the same as the ICE counterpart.
Spy shots reveal that the interior of the car is same as that of the XUV 3XO. With a dual-tone white and black cabin theme, it has a free-standing touchscreen and white seat upholstery.

The EV model is expected to feature a 10.25-inch touchscreen, a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display and dual-zone auto AC. It can also have a wireless phone charger and a panoramic sunroof.
Speaking of the safety features, then the same are likely to be carried over the Mahindra XUV 3XO EV. The highlights include up to six airbags, an electronic stability program (ESP), a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), a hill hold assist, and a rear parking camera.

It is expected to be priced above the Mahindra XUV3XO, which has a price range of Rs 7.79 lakh to Rs 15.49 lakh (ex-showroom, Pan-India).
