Mahindra BE 09
Mahindra has been a popular choice for its EVs. The XEV 9e and the XEV 9S have been selling extremely well, while the BE 6 is also doing decently. We expect Mahindra’s BE 07 and BE 09 to enter the Indian market soon. The BE 6 has been a sporty choice compared to the XEV 9e and XEV 9s, which are more sophisticated. The sporty interiors of the BE 6 and its sharp design signify that it is aimed at a younger crowd. However, the BE 07 could be slightly more sophisticated, with a subtler design. But what will the BE 09 look like?

Design And Features
The Mahindra BE 09 is expected to have a sharp-looking coupe design, as seen on the BE 09 concept. The front fascia seems to be a mix of the BE 6 and the XEV 9e in its DRL design. The bonnet is quite similar to the one on the BE 6, while the way the roofline slopes downward will remind you of the XEV 9e. At the rear, the connected LED taillight closely resembles those on the BE 6, while the shape of the rear section is similar to that of the XEV 9e.
In terms of interior design, we can expect a driver-focused cockpit with a wraparound centre console, a darker interior theme, and sporty seats to hold you firmly in place. Expected features include a dual-screen setup, a panoramic glass roof, Level 2+ ADAS, powered and ventilated front seats, a 360-degree camera, multiple drive modes and much more.

What Else?
As of now, none of the Mahindra electric SUVs gets AWD. However, we expect a dual-motor setup, given that the BE 09 will likely be Mahindra’s flagship EV. Mahindra could offer the 70kWh and 79kWh battery packs for the BE 09. We could also get to see a larger 80+kWh battery pack for improved range. This, along with a dual-motor setup and AWD, could be quite impressive and offer more power than the Harrier EV. We could expect a claimed range of 650 kms. It is likely that the BE 09 will be the flagship Mahindra electric SUV and will likely come at a premium. We expect the SUV to be priced between Rs. 25 lakh and Rs. 35 lakh (on-road, Mumbai). Mahindra could launch this SUV by the end of 2027.
