The XUV400 is the electric derivative of the XUV300 SUV and gets visual highlights, such as a closed-off body-coloured front grille with copper accents around the twin peaks logo and on the front bumper. The design for the dual-tone 16-inch alloys is new, whereas the tail lamp cluster has a clear lens look. Other additions include roof rails and projector headlamps with integrated DRLs.

Inside, this Mahindra electric gets an all-black theme with leatherette seating accentuated with blue stitching. The top-spec EL variant is loaded with features such as an electric sunroof, electrically adjustable and foldable ORVMs, a height-adjustable driver seat, a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and 60:40 split seats. On the safety front, the XUV400 is equipped with six airbags, front and rear disc brakes, and ISOFIX anchorages.

The EC trim draws its power from a 34.5kWh battery while the EL variant gets a bigger 39.4kWh battery pack. Both variants have the same output of 148bhp and 310Nm of torque with a claimed MIDC range of 375km and 456km, respectively.
