Mahindra has officially showcased its next-gen electric vehicles XEV 9e and BE.06 as part of its expanding Mahindra EV portfolio, marking a bold step into the premium and high-performance electric SUV segment. These two models reflect Mahindra’s global ambitions to compete with established EV players like Tesla, Hyundai, and Tata Motors. With cutting-edge design, advanced interiors, and a claimed range of up to 500 km, the XEV 9e and BE.06 are set to raise the bar for electric mobility in India.
Design Inspired by Mahindra’s Born EV Platform
Both the XEV 9e and BE.06 are built on Mahindra’s INGLO platform, developed specifically for its Born Electric series. The XEV 9e carries a futuristic and coupe-style SUV silhouette, featuring full-width LED light bars, sculpted surfaces, and an athletic stance. The BE.06, on the other hand, leans more toward a sportier SUV-crossover aesthetic with sharper lines and dynamic proportions. These designs aren’t just bold—they’re aerodynamically tuned for higher efficiency and a global appeal.
Performance and Range That Match Global Standards
Under the hood, the Mahindra XEV 9e and BE.06 are expected to offer dual motor AWD setups in higher trims, along with rear-wheel-drive variants for entry models. The battery pack will likely range between 60kWh to 80kWh, with fast-charging support allowing up to 80% charge in under 30 minutes. Both models boast WLTP-claimed ranges of 450 to 500 kilometers, making them long-distance friendly and practical for Indian highways. Acceleration is expected to rival luxury EVs, with 0 to 100 kmph in under 6 seconds for the performance variants.
Interior and Technology to Rival Premium EVs
Mahindra is equipping the XEV 9e and BE.06 with premium interiors, featuring twin connected screens for infotainment and driver display, sustainable materials, AI-powered infotainment, and Level 2 ADAS features. Expect features like panoramic sunroof, OTA updates, ambient lighting, 360-degree cameras, and advanced voice control powered by Mahindra’s AI stack. With a tech-first approach, these SUVs are targeting not just Indian buyers but global EV markets as well.
Launch Timeline and Expected Price in India
Mahindra has confirmed that the XEV 9e and BE.06 will launch in India by late 2025, with production likely to begin at the company’s new EV manufacturing facility in Pune. The expected price range for the BE.06 is between ₹24 lakh to ₹28 lakh, while the XEV 9e could be priced upwards of ₹30 lakh, depending on variant and battery size. Both models are expected to debut in multiple trims to cater to performance, range, and affordability preferences.
With the unveiling of the XEV 9e and BE.06, Mahindra is not just catching up it’s stepping into the future of premium electric mobility with confidence. These EVs offer global design, class-leading range, and high-end tech, putting them in direct competition with the likes of Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, and Tata Avinya. For Indian buyers looking for a bold, futuristic, and performance-driven electric SUV, Mahindra’s Born EVs may just lead the next wave.
