Mahindra and Mahindra are gearing up to redefine the Indian electric vehicle landscape with the debut of two electric SUVs under their XEV and BE brands—the Mahindra XEV 9e and Mahindra BE 6e. Set to be unveiled at an event in Chennai on November 26, these all-electric models are designed to deliver a mix of luxury, performance, and advanced safety.
The Mahindra XEV 9e, inspired by the ICE-based XUV700, is set to elevate “electric luxury” in the EV segment. Expected to compete with the upcoming Tata Harrier EV, the XEV 9e will likely be offered in rear-wheel drive (RWD) and may share its battery and powertrain with the BE 6e. Inside, Mahindra plans to incorporate a three-screen setup, including a dedicated screen for the front passenger, offering a high-tech experience. The interior is anticipated to feature premium materials and comfort-focused technologies that cater to the luxury market.
The Mahindra BE 6e is designed for those seeking bold, athletic performance. This versatile all-electric SUV is expected to come in both rear-wheel drive (RWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) configurations with two battery options, aiming to deliver a real-world range exceeding 450 KMs on a single charge. Additionally, the BE 6e will support ultra-fast charging, making it ideal for long journeys with minimal charging time.
Both the Mahindra XEV 9e and BE 6e are built on Mahindra’s advanced INGLO platform, emphasizing safety and efficient drivetrain technology. Mahindra has hinted at industry-leading safety features and high-efficiency drivetrains designed to maximize range, though specific details on battery capacity, motor specifications, and features remain under wraps.
With these launches, Mahindra is positioning the Mahindra BE 6e and Mahindra XEV 9e as key players in India’s growing EV market. These models symbolize Mahindra’s commitment to innovation, safety, and the future of electric mobility, setting the stage for an exciting new chapter in the brand’s EV journey.
Mahindra’s entry into the EV market with the XEV 9e and BE 6e could be a game-changer, especially considering the brand’s focus on blending luxury, performance, and advanced safety. By introducing the INGLO platform, Mahindra demonstrates its commitment to future-ready technology that caters to Indian EV consumers’ needs for range, speed, and reliability. The addition of high-end features, like the three-screen interior in the XEV 9e, shows Mahindra’s intent to compete not only with domestic rivals but also with international EV brands in the premium space. If these models deliver on their promises, they could reshape consumer expectations for Indian electric SUVs.
