In September this year, Mahindra unveiled its new electric SUV, the XUV400. Now, the firm has recently showcased a brand-new XUV400 OneOfOne limited edition. Interestingly, automotive designer Pratap Bose collaborated with acclaimed fashion designer Rimzim Dadu to develop this special edition.

The unique XUV400 model was revealed at Season 6 of Mahindra Automotive’s Tech Fashion Tour. This special iteration highlights fashion with fabrics as the key component. The twin-peaks copper-hued Mahindra insignia receiving a blue outline and the “Rimzim Dadu X Bose” logo on the windshield and other external features all contribute to the fabric-inspired motif.

The interior of the new SUV sports new upholstery created by Rimzim Dadu, including black leather seats with copper stitching, a dash of blue inlays, a duffle bag, side bags, and blue steel wire cushions in the rear, as well as branding that reads ‘Rimzim Dadu X Bose’ all over. The upholstery of the cabin matches the interior’s vivid Arctic Blue colour. Moreover, the Special Edition will likely come in three variations-Base, EP, and EL.

The Special Edition XUV400 has no mechanical enhancements. For the uninitiated, A front-mounted electric motor, powered by a 39.4kWh battery pack is included with the Mahindra XUV400. It is stated to have 310Nm of peak torque and 150bhp of maximum power. The e-SUV is touted to have a 0 to 100km/h acceleration time of 8.3 seconds, making it the fastest in the segment. On a single charge, it will have a certified range of 456 kilometres. The XUV400’s battery can be charged from 0 to 80% in 50 minutes using a 50kW fast charger. Further, it has three driving modes-Fun, Fast, and Fearless.

When it launches, the XUV400 will compete with the likes of the MG ZS EV, Tata Nexon EV Prime, Hyundai Kona Electric, and Tata Nexon EV Max.
