Well, with the update, Mahindra will try to make this model ahead of its competition. For that, we expect it to borrow the feature list from the newly launched XEV 9S. Some of the notable feature inclusions we expect include – triple screen display, AR HUD, Level 2+ ADAS, Auto park, 16-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, Wireless charging pad in 1st & 2nd row, Intelligent adaptive suspension and more in its package.


The updated features will surely make this SUV a value-for-money option, compared to its rival Tata Safari. On the design-front, the model is expected to get the design inspired from the XEV 9S. That’s what the teaser points at, the taillamp setup looks similar to the one equipped on the 3-row electric 7-seater. Other expected changes include a new headlamp setup, redesigned grille, revised bumpers and more.
