The Mahindra XUV400 is the electric sibling of the XUV300. Bookings for the upcoming electric EV are already underway while the introductory prices start at Rs 15.99 lakh. While we’ve already reviewed the latest EV from M&M, the special version of the e-SUV was showcased in November 2022 by Ananya Pandey. The aesthetics of the One Of One version of the XUV400 is the work of Pratap Bose, Design Head, Mahindra and popular fashion designer Rimzim Dadu.
To the naked eye, the One-of-One Mahindra XUV400 looks a lot like the regular model. However, there are some unique custom touches made by the two designers. Also, most of the updates can be found on the interior. For instance, the upholstery and trim used inside the cabin make the car feel richer. Of course, the special interior even highlights the rich experience of Bose and Nadu. Rounding of the interior updates are the “Rimzim + Bose” inscriptions strewn at many spots inside the SUV.
