The platform features an all-wheel drive with an output of 395PS of power and rear-drive powertrains with up to 230–285PS. For the EVs built on this platform, Mahindra promises a 0-100km h speed of 5 to 6 seconds. According to the announcement, the front motor of the e-SUV provides 109 horsepower and 135 pound-feet of torque, while the rear motors will generate 286 horsepower and 560 pound-feet of torque. Mahindra also states that its sprint time from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour is between 5 and 6 seconds.
Dr. Anish Shah, managing director & CEO of Mahindra Group said, “Mahindra will offer customers future-ready technology, head-turning design, world-class products, and the benefits of global partnerships. By 2027, we expect that a quarter of the SUVs we sell will be electric.”
