New Delhi: The XUV 700 SUV is one of the best selling models of Mahindra in India. The company has informed that it will introduce the electric version of the XUV700 by the end of 2024.

Will get tremendous range
The electric model will be based on the INGLO platform, which is claimed to use a common battery pack design with standardized cell-to-pack technology.
