Mahindra has taken a significant leap into the electric vehicle (EV) market with the highly anticipated launch of its ‘Born Electric’ SUVs, the XEV 9e and BE 6e. These groundbreaking models were unveiled at Mahindra’s Research Valley in Chennai, marking a new chapter in the company’s journey towards a greener future. Both vehicles are built on Mahindra’s proprietary INGLO platform, a modular skateboard architecture designed specifically for electric vehicles. The BE 6e Pack One starts at Rs 18.90 lakh ex-showroom, while the XEV 9e Pack One is priced at Rs 21.90 lakh ex-showroom. The two SUVs will officially hit the market in January 2025, with deliveries beginning in February 2025.
The Aesthetic Design Engineering of BE 6e and XEV 9e
While design is a key element of these electric SUVs, the real focus lies in their cutting-edge technology. The XEV 9e showcases a sleek and aerodynamic coupe-SUV design, featuring sharp lines and a dynamic sloping roofline. Its aggressive triangular headlights, flared wheel arches, and wide LED light bar give it a bold and futuristic presence. Measuring 4,789 mm in length, the XEV 9e provides ample boot space of 663 liters, along with a 150-liter front trunk for extra storage capacity.
In contrast, the BE 6e takes a more minimalist, sculpted approach to its design. It features integrated L-shaped DRLs and sharp, flowing contours that lend it a modern, muscular look. At 4,371 mm in length, the BE 6e offers 455 liters of boot space and a 45-liter front trunk for additional practicality.
Powering Possibilities: Battery Options That Fit Your Life
Mahindra understands that one size doesn’t fit all. That’s why the BE 6e and XEV 9e come with a range of battery configurations that cater to every type of driver:
The true highlight of both the XEV 9e and BE 6e is their battery performance. Both SUVs come with two battery pack options: 59 kWh and 79 kWh, both of which use advanced LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) chemistry. The larger 79 kWh battery pack promises an impressive range of over 500 km in real-world conditions, along with ultra-fast charging capabilities that allow for a 20% to 80% charge in just 20 minutes using a 175 kW DC charger.
The XEV 9e, built on the INGLO platform, is available with both the 59 kWh and 79 kWh battery options. The larger battery pack provides a claimed range of 656 km (MIDC) or 533 km (WLTP), and real-world tests indicate a range of more than 500 km. With 286 horsepower and 380 Nm of torque, the XEV 9e can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.7 seconds, while the 59 kWh version delivers 231 horsepower for an equally responsive ride.
The BE 6e also offers both 59 kWh and 79 kWh battery packs, with the larger battery delivering a WLTP range of 550 km, surpassing the XEV 9e’s range. It generates 288 bhp and 380 Nm of torque, with a 0-100 km/h time of 6.7 seconds, providing a dynamic and thrilling driving experience, all while maintaining efficiency.
With the XEV 9e and BE 6e, Mahindra is not just entering the electric vehicle market—it’s setting new standards for performance, design, and technology in the EV space, paving the way for the future of sustainable mobility.
