Mahindra and Mahindra are all set to roll out the first batch of its upcoming electric SUV e-KUV100 in the next few months. Speaking at the launch of Mahindra's electric three-wheeler Treo Zor, the carmaker's MD and CEO Pawan Goenka confirmed that work is on to start delivering e-KUV100 to dealers, and is likely to be available for customers in the next three months.

Mahindra launched the e-KUV100 at the Auto Expo earlier this year, in line with the company's future vision. The starting price of the e-KUV100 will be INR 8,25,000 (ex-showroom Delhi), as announced by Mahindra at the Auto Expo.

The Mahindra e-KUV100 is the company’s first in-house all-electric car. The SUV has been equipped with a liquid-cooled battery pack that supports fast charging of up to 80% in 55 minutes, auto transmission, fast charge, and remote connections.

Design-wise, the electric version of the KUV100 SUV is not too different from its ICE version. The biggest difference is the blue highlights on the exterior and the seats inside to recognize the SUV as an electric vehicle instantly.

Feature-wise though, the electric variant of KUV100 will be richer. It will have remote door lock and unlock, cabin pre-cooling option, location tracking, remote diagnostics, driving pattern monitor, 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, steering-mounted audio controls, and standard dual airbags among many others.

The Mahindra e-KUV100 is built on the carmaker's new light EV platform called MESMA 48. The Mahindra e-KUV100 has a single electric motor that generates 54.35 PS of power and 120 Nm of torque. Powered by a 15.9 kWh battery, the e-KUV100 can offer a range of 147 km in a single charge as claimed by the carmaker.

Peugeot is continuing its rollout of new models with the completely redesigned 2008. Peugeot's new design language is turned up a notch with the new 2008.

It's got a really distinctive, expressive face, with a large grille and big headlights. The front bumper is covered in creases and slashes, and the surfacing of the sides is made up of really interesting angular lines on the flanks. In contrast, the rear is pretty simple, with high-up taillights that appear merged with the rear glass. And, of course, the roof has a "floating" design and can be had with a two-tone finish. 

Ultra-technological, it adopts the new generation of immersive PEUGEOT i-Cockpit® 3D, with equipment and driving aids designed by the best know-how PEUGEOT has to offer. The interior looks straight out of a spaceship from a sci-fi movie. There's an incredible variety of materials, with faux carbon fiber, gloss-black plastic, soft-touch accents, microsuede, and more covering different parts of the dashboard, door panels, and center console.

The tiered dashboard is topped by a large central screen and a digital gauge cluster with a 3D effect, and the futuristic look is further set off by the two-spoke steering wheel and weird electronic shifter. There's a holographic head-up display, a wide range of passive- and active-safety features, and programmable ambient mood lighting, among many other tech features.

Based on the new and efficient modular Platform, the new SUV is a multi-energy vehicle. it offers the freedom to choose between 3 types of efficient engines: electric, petrol and diesel.

It's driven by a rather modest 50 kWh battery, which Peugeot says is good for a range of approximately 312 kilometers. Recharge times vary depending on the power source, but a 100kW terminal can recharge the e-2008 to 80 per cent capacity in 30 minutes. 

Petrol and Diesel Options

The petrol engines are structures the 3 cylinder-engine, a 1.2L Euro 6 standard whereas Diesel offer is with the 4-cylinder engine with a 1.5L engine euro 6 standard.

The 1.2-liter PureTech three-cylinder gas engine can be had with either 100, 130, or 155 hp.
