of its upcoming Ssangyong Tivoli-based SUV, but released the images of the XUV300 as well. In addition to this, the company also announced its plans of bringing an electric SUV to India as well.
Codenamed the S210, it will be an electrified version of the XUV300. It will make its debut by mid-2020 and will be the first product by Mahindra to employ Korean-made lithium-ion battery packs. Although this could drive up the cost of the vehicle, the all-electric XUV300 will be a sub-4 metre offering, just like the XUV300. Mahindra is expected to develop two versions of the S210 with two range offerings. One is likely to be positioned as a city car while the other will have an extended range to help tackle long distances and could even be performance oriented. Mahindra also said that it is looking at developing battery tech to alleviate range anxiety. As for pricing, expect it to be pegged as a more affordable alternative to the and the Hyundai Kona EV.
We expect the S210 to be similar to the XUV300 in terms of dimensions and cabin space. It should also offer similar convenience and safety equipment as the XUV300. These include a large infotainment system, maybe an all-digital instrument cluster, rear parking sensors with reversing camera, seven airbags and ABS with EBD as standard. Mahindra could offer some active driver aids as well and it is highly likely that they will be exclusive to the electric SUV.
