4 New Electric Mahindra SUVs For India: From BE 07 To BE 09
Mahindra Automotive currently offers a number of different electric SUVs in India, and it is one of the largest EV makers. However, to increase the electric product lineup even further, the company is gearing up to launch four new electric SUVs in the coming period. So without wasting any time, here are the details of the upcoming electric SUVs from Mahindra.
First up in the launch pipeline from Mahindra Automotive is the BE 6 electric SUV with the 70 kWh battery pack option. Presently, the company offers the BE 6 with 59 kWh and 79 kWh battery pack options, which offer ranges of 557 km and 682 km, respectively, on single full charges. However, now, to bridge the gap between the two models, the company is planning to launch a 70 kWh battery pack model in the middle.
Like the Mahindra XEV 9S, the BE 6 will also get the same 70 kWh battery pack, which will offer a MIDC-claimed range of 600 km on a single full charge. As for the powertrain, it will get a rear-wheel-drive motor which will make 241 bhp and 380 Nm of torque. It is expected to slot in the middle around the Pack Two Above trim and will become an alternative to the 79 kWh battery pack option. It is expected to launch in the second half of this year.
Just like the BE 6 and XEV 9S, the uniquely looking coupe SUV, Mahindra XEV 9E, is also expected to soon get the 70 kWh battery pack option. This SUV will be offered with the same 241 bhp and 380 Nm of torque-producing electric motor, which will power the rear wheels.
Most likely, it will be launched in the second half of this year. It will also slot around Pack Two Above trims to make sure that it becomes a viable option for those not wanting the bigger 79 kWh but wanting more than the 59 kWh battery pack.
Next up in the Mahindra BE (Born Electric) lineup is the BE 07 electric SUV. This mid-size EV SUV will rival the BYD Atto 3, Hyundai Creta Electric, and the Tata Harrier.ev. It is expected to be priced in the range of Rs 25–30 lakh and will be based on the INGLO electric architecture, the same as the BE 6, XEV 9S, and XEV 9E. The same 59 kWh, 70 kWh, and 79 kWh battery pack options are expected with this SUV.
In terms of the design, the BE 07 will take its design inspiration from the current BE 6. However, it will be raised and look more like a traditional SUV. Presently, it is not confirmed if it will be getting a fighter-jet-like cabin like the BE 6 or the triple-screen layout as in the XEV 9E and XEV 9S. Most likely, it will be making its debut in India by October 2026.
Taking the coupe SUV design a step above, Mahindra Automotive, in 2027, will be launching the flagship SUV of the BE (Born Electric) lineup. This SUV will boast a Grand Tourer-inspired design which will look very premium. Most likely, it will compete with the upcoming Tata Avinya EV, which will be Tata Motors' attempt at the premium electric SUV segment.
The Mahindra BE 09 is expected to be priced in the range of Rs 40–50 lakh, and it will be based on the INGLO electric architecture. In terms of the drivetrain, it is expected to get a 285 bhp rear-wheel-drive electric motor and an AWD setup with 394 bhp. Battery pack options will most likely include 59 kWh, 70 kWh, and 79 kWh.
