Mahindra BE 6e And XEV 9e: Built for Excellence

Mahindra’s BE 6e and XEV 9e are not just new models; they represent an entirely new sub-brand called ‘Electric Origin SUVs,’ complete with a unique logo and identity. These vehicles are built on the all-new INGLO Electric Origin Architecture, a platform that has allowed Mahindra to partner with over 250 global tech leaders to bring cutting-edge technology and world-class standards to these SUVs.

The INGLO platform enables flexibility, liberating space for an expansive cabin, large boot, and innovative frunk. This flexibility extends to supporting multiple body styles across various sizes. With this foundation, Mahindra promises superior performance, with 250+ bhp as standard, making the BE 6e and XEV 9e the fastest SUVs developed by an Indian manufacturer. Powered by advanced LFP battery technology, capacities can reach up to 80 kWh, promising a class-leading range.

Futuristic Design and Advanced Features

Both BE 6e and XEV 9e boast a bold and futuristic exterior that sets them apart in the global market. The BE 6e, more compact and tailored for young buyers and nuclear families, exudes a sporty yet sophisticated look. The XEV 9e, larger and more imposing, appeals to those seeking a grander SUV experience. This design approach ensures these electric origin SUVs redefine aesthetics and desirability in the segment.

Inside, Mahindra promises a feature-rich experience with cockpit-style layouts and triple-screen implementations. Advanced technology includes a lag-free human-machine interface powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, built-in 5G connectivity, a 16-speaker Harman Kardon sound system with Dolby Atmos, and over 70 custom audio sounds by none other than music maestro, A R Rahman.
