The smaller Mahindra e20 discontinued as per rumours following the launch of new e2o Plus that offers improved range and interior space
Mahindra has launched the e2o Plus in India last month, which came as a bigger and better version of the e2o electric hatchback. Though the company has not confirmed anything, but it seems the smaller e2o has been discontinued right after the launch of e2o Plus. As the four-door Mahindra e2o Plus is more practical compared to the two-door e2o, discontinuing the older model gives Mahindra a chance to increase new model’s production volume.
The Mahindra e2o Plus appears with larger length and wheelbase. It is 310 mm longer, 61 mm wider and 25 mm taller than its predecessor, while it also sports 300 mm of extra wheelbase. With that, the e2o Plus offers more space than the old model.
