It will be based on the new Sigma platform that is being developed specifically for electric vehicles.

It will be aimed towards people who use the vehicle only for daily city commutes.
Mahindra XUV300 EV
The XUV300 EV is expected to be called XUV400 because Mahindra wants to differentiate between the EV version and the ICE version. The test mule was spotted quite recently and it had the charging port on the left front fender. It was a lower-spec version because it was running on steel wheels.
