Mahindra & Mahindra takes the first step toward sustainable mobility by planning to electrify its famous internal combustion engine (ICE) SUVs: Thar, Scorpio, and Bolero. The company launched the premium electric vehicle XUV 9e, which would compete directly with luxury electric cars at the same time. These ventures signify Mahindra’s focus on innovation and accountability for the environment within the auto sector.
Electrifying the Iconic SUV: Thar, Scorpio, and Bolero
Electric motor units are being given to all its flagship SUVs– Thar, Scorpio, and Bolero-to get changed to an electric vehicle unit in Mahindra. Electric powertrains seem an all-set option for changing from those rugged and reliable sets, and that’s against global trends.
Thar.e Concept
The Thar.e is the electric off-roader of the vision for Mahindra. Built on the INGLO P1 platform, it is longer and higher off the ground compared to the original model. The battery has been mounted under the floor, and the wheels are mounted on the edge to make more room inside. The Scorpio.e and Bolero.e should follow this pattern.
Scorpio.e and Bolero.e
Both the Scorpio.e and Bolero.e will have the INGLO skateboard EV structure, abandoning ladder-frame formats. The new setup intends to bring in better packaging rewards and performance efficiency. The company claims both of them have the best approach, departure, and breakover angles, hence maintaining the strength of being an offroader even in its electric version.

Safety is still a prime focus of this XUV 9e, which has seven airbags, a 360-degree surround-view camera, parking sensors, blind-spot monitoring, and an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) suite. These are features aimed at offering more safety and comfort for every drive, just like a global benchmark.
