It will retain the exterior design of XUV700
As per the images shared by the publication, the Mahindra XUV.e8 will retain the overall silhouette and major elements of the ICE-powered XUV700.
However, there will be some noticeable changes including copper-colored inserts, aero-inspired wheels, a blanked-off grille, a new front bumper, and vertically stacked projector headlamps.
Additionally, an LED light bar will be featured up front in this electric SUV model.
A three-screen setup will be on the inside

One screen facing the driver’s seat will house a digital instrument cluster, while another above the center console will feature a touchscreen infotainment screen.
The function of the third screen remains unknown at this time, adding an element of intrigue to this upcoming electric SUV model.
A new steering wheel design is anticipated
The Mahindra XUV.e8 will feature a new two-spoke flat-bottom steering wheel design. This innovative steering wheel will have a red insert in the center and a black screen that could potentially display the ‘BE’ (Born Electric) branding.
