    Tesla Spied Inside Mahindra Plant – Benchmarking Upcoming Electric SUVs?

    Tesla spied inside Mahindra plantMahindra aims to beat Tata Motors to become the No 1 EV brand – They are getting ready to launch a range of new electric SUVS in IndiaIn the fast-evolving landscape of electric vehicles (EVs), automakers are constantly pushing the boundaries of innovation to stay competitive. Mahindra, the Indian automotive giant, is no exception. As the world transitions towards sustainable transportation, Mahindra is making significant strides in the EV sector with the development of several new electric SUVs under its BE, XUV.e, Thar.e, Scorpio.e, and Bolero.e lineups. To ensure that their upcoming EVs stand out in the market, it seems that Mahindra has chosen to benchmark them against a formidable rival – the Tesla Model Y.The Mystery Unveiled: Tesla Model Y at Mahindra’s Pune FacilityIn recent times, eagle-eyed observers at Carversal spotted a Tesla Model Y inside Mahindra’s Pune facility, raising eyebrows and sparking discussions about the reasons behind this unexpected alliance. Among the upcoming Mahindra e-SUVs, the XUV.e8 is slated for a December 2024 launch, followed by the XUV.e9 in April 2025, BE.05 in October 2025, and BE.07 in April 2026, to name a few. This sighting of the Model Y on Mahindra’s turf has led to speculation that Mahindra is keen on benchmarking the Tesla SUV, particularly its exceptional aerodynamic profile, which boasts a remarkable 0.23 Cd (drag coefficient).Tesla Model Y spotted inside the Mahindra PlantA vehicle’s aerodynamics play a pivotal role in its overall performance, more so for electric vehicles. The lower the drag coefficient (Cd), the less resistance a vehicle encounters as it moves through the air. Tesla’s Model Y, with its astonishing 0.23 Cd, currently holds the crown as the most aerodynamically efficient electric SUV in the market. To put this in perspective, other popular e-SUVs like the Mustang Mach-E (0.3 Cd), Jaguar i-Pace (0.29 Cd), Hyundai Ioniq 5 (0.288 Cd), Audi e-Tron, and Kia EV6 (0.28 Cd), and the Mercedes-Benz EQC (0.27 Cd) fall behind.Why might this focus on aerodynamics matter to Mahindra? The answer may lie in their ambitious plans to develop their first-ever coupe model, the XUV800 Coupe, which will also have an electric variant, the XUV.e9 Coupe. Streamlining the shape and design of these vehicles for improved aerodynamic efficiency can translate into several advantages, such as enhanced top speed, extended range (for both internal combustion engine and electric versions), and overall improved efficiency. While there could be various other reasons for Mahindra’s interest in the Model Y, prioritizing aerodynamics aligns with global automotive practices.New Mahindra BE05 Electric SUV CoupeComparing the Dimensions and SpecificationsTesla’s Model Y, the smallest SUV in its portfolio, measures 4750 mm in length, 1978 mm in width, 1624 mm in height, and boasts a wheelbase of 2890 mm, with a ground clearance of 167 mm. It features a battery pack of up to 81 kWh, with the Long Range AWD model delivering an impressive 525 km of range on a single charge.Mahindra’s upcoming electric SUVs, on the other hand, promise similar attributes, with up to 80 kWh battery capacity and a twin-motor AWD setup that’s expected to provide around 675 km of range. While the specifics may differ slightly, the resemblance in performance characteristics is apparent.Tesla’s Prospects in IndiaIt’s worth noting that Tesla has been having discussions with the Indian government about establishing a new manufacturing facility in India. There are also rumours about the possibility of Tesla assembling Model S, 3, X, and Y locally. This aligns with India’s push for electric mobility and its goal to become a significant player in the global EV market.Image Source More

    Mercedes 540K Is Best of Show at 2023 Pebble Beach Concours

    Read everything else we have to say about 2023’s Monterey Car Week and the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. A 1937 Mercedes-Benz 540K Special Roadster won Best of Show at Pebble Beach in the traditional festive atmosphere of the Concours d’Elegance on Sunday afternoon, August 20.The 540K is one of only three Long-Tail Special Roadsters with a covered spare that still exist worldwide, according to the Concours program notes.The car was purchased by its current owner in 2022.A 1937 Mercedes-Benz Special Roadster just took the Best of Show prize at the 2023 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. The car is owned by known collector and concours winner Jim Patterson of Louisville, Kentucky, and Palm Beach, Florida. “We recognized and bought this car because it was a rare vehicle,” Patterson said on the judges’ stand just after accepting the trophy. “Its condition was almost virginal. It had never been separated [from its drivetrain], never restored, and had only 13,000 miles on it.”Michael Simari|Car and DriverThe car, already an icon of engineering with its advanced, high-power supercharged straight-eight, is an exquisite example of Streamline Moderne styling, exemplary of this era. Patterson has owned the car since early 2022, having purchased it from an RM Sotheby’s auction. The car was complete, but Patterson’s team still worked to make it perfect. “We redid everything about it,” he said. “But we didn’t have to order or make any parts.” This car is exactly the type of vehicle to win in the concours, which tends to privilege uniquely designed pinnacle iterations of the so-called Classic era between the World Wars. As such it reinforces recent trends at Pebble, where such cars have continued to dominate, especially special, coachbuilt cars styled with an imminent menace, reflecting the years leading up to the Second World War. Michael Simari|Car and Driver”Historic elegance prevails,” said Ken Gross, a veteran Pebble Beach judge and noted automotive author and curator. “People think the concours should be rapidly moving toward awarding postwar cars, but even in a year of incredibly tight competition, this was a breathtaking example.”Whatever the reasoning behind this vehicle’s win, we remain delighted, as always, that enough people are passionate enough about owning, maintaining, showing, and paying witness to these paragons of rolling sculpture that Pebble continues to draw crowds. And if, one day, Best of Show is awarded to a 1978 Stutz Blackhawk, or a 2005 Mitsuoka Orochi Nude-Top, we will celebrate that as well.More Headliners at Pebble Beach 2023Contributing EditorBrett Berk (he/him) is a former preschool teacher and early childhood center director who spent a decade as a youth and family researcher and now covers the topics of kids and the auto industry for publications including CNN, the New York Times, Popular Mechanics and more.

    Renault’s Roaring Roadmap: 6-9 Launches with an Electric Car

    Renault Kwid EVShaping the Future: Renault’s Ambitious 6-9 Vehicle Launch Strategy. Big Focus on Small Electric CarFor a long time, Renault has been in a defensive position in Indian automotive market. If we take a look at July 2023 car sales, Renault sold 3,607 units with its portfolio of three vehicles. Said three vehicles are Kwid, Kiger and Triber. Renault’s sales halved YoY and decreased by 33.82% MoM in July 2023.The company is working on introducing EVs to its portfolio. A recent publication mentions a senior Renault executive indicating a potential launch of a small EV in 2024/2025. If we take a look at global markets, a rebadged Dacia Spring with Renault branding fits the bill perfectly.Renault’s Electrification Charge: Dacia Spring version for IndiaSimilar to Dacia Duster, we might see Dacia Spring in India with Renault branding. Considering that Kwid already has a brand recall in India, Kwid EV name makes a lot of sense. Dacia Spring gets Kwid’s underpinnings. It packs a 26.8 kWh Li-ion battery and promises a WLTP certified range of 225 km from a single charge.There is just one electric motor in the vehicle delivering 45 bhp of power and 125 Nm of torque. When launched in India, it will go head-to-head with MG Comet and Tata Tiago EV. As of now, MG Comet is the most affordable electric car in India and it packs a 17.3 kWh battery promising 230 km of range from a single charge. Launch might be scheduled in 2024. Pricing would play a grand role in Renault India’s EV step-up.How CMF-A Platform Powers Renault’s Electric VisionWe have covered test mules of Kiger EV before. There’s the Rs. 5300 Crore investment between Renault India and Nissan Motor that will aid in bringing in new cars. Renault’s MD Venkatram Mamillapalle said the company intends to launch between 6-9 new vehicles in India within the next few years. Likely between 2024 and 2026.This plan includes mid-life updates to current models in 2024 and new B-segment SUVs owing to their immense popularity. New variations of existing vehicles could imply Nissan’s Triber counterpart as one such derivative. Alongside, EVs are of significance.Said EVs will get CMF-A platform. As with Renault’s approach, localisation is a key focus area. And to start with the company aims for 55-60% localisation in the beginning.Source More

    Mahindra BE05 Electric SUV Coupe New Spy Shots – Sporty Side

    New Mahindra BE05 Electric SUV CoupeMahindra will launch a new range of electric SUVs in India – Starting with the BE05 SUV coupe in Oct 2025Mahindra BE05 is in close-to-production form. New spy shots offer a sneak peek into the future of electric mobility from the Indian manufacturer. Set to be unleashed onto the market by October 2025, the Mahindra BE.05 is poised to make a significant impact in the world of electric SUVs.Sporty Design – A new direction for MahindraThe latest spy shots of the Mahindra BE05 reveal a design that strikes a balance between sportiness and functionality. Moving forward, the BE.05 exhibits a sculpted bonnet and a sharply raked front windshield, giving it a dynamic and aerodynamic appearance. Towards the rear, a roof-mounted spoiler with an integrated LED lightbar adorns the tailgate, not only enhancing its sporty appeal but also improving its aerodynamics.New Mahindra BE05 Electric SUV CoupeOne of the standout features is a massive panoramic glass roof that promises to provide an open and airy feel to the cabin. Although it’s not clear from the images whether this roof will be openable or fixed, it undoubtedly adds a touch of elegance to the vehicle.Peeking inside the BE05, we catch a glimpse of its modern and futuristic interior. Building on the concept’s design, the production version features a driver-centric layout with a wraparound effect. Twin screens, likely for infotainment and instrument cluster purposes, dominate the dashboard, highlighting the vehicle’s tech-savvy nature.Mahindra Electrified SUVs – Launch TimelineCutting-Edge Powertrain and Battery TechnologyBE.05 is built on Mahindra’s INGLO platform and will be available in both 2WD and 4WD variants. Powering this electric marvel are motors sourced from Volkswagen. The 2WD models boast a rear-mounted motor with a robust 210 kW (286 hp) and 535 Nm of torque, ensuring impressive performance. On the other hand, the 4WD models are equipped with an additional front axle motor, delivering 80 kW (109 hp) and 135 Nm. While the combined system output has yet to be officially disclosed, Mahindra has assured that these powertrains are in advanced stages of testing and development.In the energy department, the BE.05 relies on a 79 kWh battery unit featuring LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) cells. This choice of cells is a significant departure from the NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) chemistry used in Mahindra’s XUV400. LFP cells are known for their greater energy density, slower discharge rate, reduced risk of thermal propagation, and rapid charging capabilities. Notably, the BE.05 can charge from 0 to 80 percent in just 30 minutes, which is an impressive feat for an electric vehicle.A Rivalry with upcoming Tata Curvv EVWhen the Mahindra BE.05 is finally launched in October 2025, it will occupy a premium position above the XUV400 EV in the company’s lineup. In terms of competition, it’s gearing up to take on the Tata Curvv EV, set to hit the market in 2024. This rivalry promises to be a defining moment in the Indian electric SUV segment, with both manufacturers vying for the attention of eco-conscious and tech-savvy consumers.As the electric vehicle landscape continues to evolve, Mahindra’s BE.05 stands as a testament to the company’s commitment to sustainable mobility and cutting-edge technology. With its sporty design, advanced powertrain, and fast-charging capabilities, this electric SUV coupe is poised to make waves in the automotive industry when it arrives on the scene in 2025, offering a compelling option for those looking to embrace the electric future of transportation.
