      Mahindra BE 6, XEV 9e Launched in Nepal – Priced NPR 57 Lakh, NPR 69 Lakh, Resp.

      by

      Mahindra BE 6 Launched in NepalMost of Mahindra cars sold in India are available in Nepal as well including bestsellers like Scorpio N, XUV700, XUV3XO, XUV400, Bolero and Scorpio/Bolero Pickups
      Expanding its EV portfolio in Nepal, Mahindra has introduced the BE 6 and XEV 9e electric SUVs. The launch took place during the ongoing NAIMA Nepal Mobility Expo 2025. Bookings for BE 6 and XEV 9e are now open in the Himalayan Kingdom. Let’s check out the details.
      Mahindra BE 6, XEV 9e – Variants on offer
      BE 6 in Nepal is available in three variants – Pack One Above, Pack Two and Pack Three Select. On the other hand, the XEV 9e is available in Pack Two, Pack Three Select and Pack Three variants. Prices start at NPR 57 lakh for BE 6 and NPR 69 lakh for XEV 9e. That’s Rs 35.66 lakh and Rs 43.17 lakh, respectively.
      Mahindra XEV 9e Launched in Nepal
      In India, Mahindra BE 6 is available at a starting price of Rs 18.90 lakh (no charger option). Cost with the 7.2 kW and the 11.2 kW charger is Rs 19.40 lakh and Rs 19.65 lakh, respectively. Similarly, the XEV 9e is available at a starting price of Rs 21.90 lakh (no charger). Base variant price with the 7.2 kW charger is Rs 22.40 lakh. Customers choosing the 11.2 kW charger have to pay Rs 22.65 lakh.
      Prices are on the higher side in Nepal, as the country imposes significant import duty. For ICE cars, Nepal has import duty in the range of 60% to 240%, depending on the engine capacity. Import duty is relatively less for EVs and it is based on the power output.
      Lower output electric motors for Nepal
      In a move that is likely aimed at reducing import duties, Mahindra is offering the BE 6 and XEV 9e in Nepal with lower output motors. Most variants are powered by a 99-kW electric motor. The XEV 9e Pack Three variant offers the best performance, equipped with a 199-kW electric motor. In comparison, Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9e in India have power output of 170 kW or 210 kW, based on the variant.
      Mahindra sends its vehicles to Nepal as CBUs, since there is no local manufacturing or assembly unit. Sales and service are done by Agni Mahindra, the official distributor of Mahindra vehicles in Nepal. It is the sole distributor of Mahindra vehicles in Nepal and has been active for the last three decades.
      Since the battery pack capacity is the same as in India, the range is not impacted. BE 6 in Nepal is being offered with the 59-kWh battery pack, offering a range of 557 km (MIDC P1+P2). The XEV 9e in Nepal is being offered with the 79-kWh battery pack, offering a range of 656 km. In India, both SUVs have the 59-kWh and the 79-kWh battery pack options, based on the variant. Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9e utilize LFP battery packs, which are known for their safety, reliability and long life.
      Equipment list
      Both SUVs offer a comprehensive range of premium features. Some of the key highlights include a race-inspired digital cockpit (BE 6), cinematic triple-screen display (XEV 9e), Sonic Studio by Harman Kardon and VisionX augmented-reality heads-up display. Users can access preset themes of Calm, Cozy and Club via the LiveYourMood function. Safety kit is pretty robust with ADAS Level 2 for BE 6 and ADAS Level 2+ for XEV 9e. Other highlights include a driver monitoring system and a 360° view camera setup. More

      Vinfast 7-Seater SUV Design Trademarked In India – 60 kWh, 450 km Range

      by

      Vinfast 7-Seater SUV Design Patented In IndiaRenowned Vietnamese brand, Vinfast, is shaping up its portfolio in India as the company has lined up VF 6 and VF 7 electric SUVs. Both of them are premium electric SUVs with a maximum seating capacity of 5 occupants. However, there seems to be a new electric SUV in the pipeline for India, which will be Vinfast’s first 7-seater electric SUV in India. Let’s take a closer look.
      Vinfast 7-Seater SUV
      After inaugurating their first ever manufacturing facility outside of Vietnam and third operational facility globally in Toothukudi, Tamil Nadu, Vinfast seems to be gearing up for a portfolio expansion. The company has just trademarked design of a new 7-seater electric SUV in India which will appeal to both fleet buyers and large families in India.
      Vinfast 7-Seater SUV Design Patented In India
      We say fleet buyers because the vehicle we are looking at is called Vinfast Limo Green, which the company has listed as a “Service Vehicle” and not a “Car” on their website. It is aimed at fleet buyers looking to operate electric 7-seaters. In Vietnam, Vinfast calls it an MPV and not an SUV, which might be changed in India, considering market trends.
      Where design is concerned, Vinfast Limo Green is quite good looking. It has a minimal front fascia with what looks like a connecting LED light bar along with sleek vertically arranged headlights. In fact, it looks far sleeker than VF 6 and VF 7, launching soon in India. Side profile has a strong SUV-ish silhouette accentuated by tough-looking body cladding.
      Vinfast Limo Green
      Specs & Features
      Dimensionally, Vinfast Limo Green measures 4,740 mm in length, 1,872 mm in width, 1,728 mm in height and has a 2,840 mm long wheelbase. It has large 18-inch alloy wheels and a ground clearance of 170 mm. There are disc brakes at all four corners too. Battery is a 60.13 kWh unit which promises a range of 450 km on a single charge (NEDC).
      Vinfast Limo Green
      Vinfast Limo Green is a FWD vehicle with a single electric motor rated at 201 bhp of peak power and 280 Nm of peak torque. It has three driving modes – Eco, Comfort and Sport. Fast DC charging is supported and Limo Green will go from 10%-70% SOC in 30 minutes.
      Vinfast Limo Green
      On the inside, Vinfast Limo Green gets a 10.1-inch infotainment screen and a minimal dashboard and a three-spoke steering wheel. Features include leatherette upholstery, 360-degree camera, a floating centre console, chrome highlights for premium appeal, three-row seating to accommodate up to 7 occupants and more.
      Vinfast Limo Green
      Will it launch in India?
      Vinfast Limo Green deliveries commenced on 5th August 2025 as the company handed over the first batch to customers. Deliveries started four months after bookings began and 7 months after it debuted. There’s a good probability of Vinfast Limo Green launching in India considering market trends favouring 7-seater offerings in EV segment.
      Vinfast Limo Green
      In Vietnam, Vinfast Limo Green has been priced at VND 749 Million that includes a 7-year or 1,60,000 km warranty and free charging at all V-Green public charging stations. This turns out to be around Rs 25 lakh in today’s conversion rates. If the same price is employed for Indian market, it will rival the BYD eMAX 7, Kia Carens Clavis EV and upcoming Mahindra XEV 7e.

      eVitara is the first ever electric vehicle by Maruti Suzuki for India and Suzuki for global markets. Outside of countries like Japan and India, Suzuki has been operational in multiple global markets including Europe. This vehicle is soon to be crash tested by Euro NCAP, which is hailed as one of the most stringent crash tests in the world.
      Maruti eVitara Euro NCAP Soon
      Suzuki’s first ever electric vehicle, the eVitara, has been one of the most anticipated launches in the world. It is a crossover electric SUV which gets an optional AWD for off-roading with the help of a dual motor layout. eVitara will be exclusively manufactured by Maruti Suzuki at their Gujarat plant and will launch in markets like Japan, India and Europe.
      Maruti Suzuki eVitara Euro NCAP Crash Test Results Out Soon
      It is a common practice for un-tested vehicles by Euro NCAP to features on the website when the results are right around the corner. This seems to be the case with eVitara as well, as it is among the vehicles listed officially on Euro NCAP website, while the results are yet to be published.
      This electric SUV will soon be crash tested by Euro NCAP. Actual crash tests might have already happened, results for which are expected to go live soon. eVitara might be one of the vehicles whose crash test results will go live through Euro NCAP’s next publication to release on September 10th, 2025.
      Maruti Suzuki eVitara Monocoque Chassis
      The Euro-spec version of Maruti Suzuki eVitara SUV is likely to pack additional safety features required to score high in Euro NCAP. This will be the first made-in-India Maruti Suzuki or Suzuki vehicle to be crash tested by Euro NCAP after a very long time. Outcome of this result might vary with India-spec model’s crash assessment by Bharat NCAP or Global NCAP.
      Same ratings to Urban Cruiser EV?
      eVitara features a monocoque construction with battery pack in the floor. There will be a Toyota version of eVitara called Urban Cruiser EV, which has been showcased already. Urban Cruiser EV will also be manufactured exclusively in India at Maruti Suzuki’s Gujarat facility, which will also launch in global markets like Europe.
      Toyota Urban Cruiser EV Debuts
      Euro NCAP might extend the same crash test results of eVitara to Urban Cruiser EV as a Corporate Twin performing any further tests. Both vehicles will pack the same 49 kWh and 61 kWh battery packs promising a range of around 500 km on a single charge. More

      Chery Patents 2 Electric Cars In India – Launch Plans?

      by

      Chery Patents 2 Electric Cars in IndiaChery Automobile Co Ltd is a popular state-owned carmaker in China. Where volumes are concerned, Chery is China’s 4th largest carmaker and is aggressively expanding across major global markets. The company’s eyes are also set on India, which has emerged as the 3rd largest automotive market in the world.
      Previously, Chery was in talks with Tata Motors for a potential joint venture to sell cars in India, which did not work out post geopolitical tensions between India and China. Now, Chery has trademarked two new vehicles in India, sparking speculations of a potential re-entry with a new partner, which is JSW Group.
      Chery Patents 2 Electric Cars In India
      Recently, Chery Automobiles has patented two new vehicles in India, which could be the ones JSW Group aims to launch in India. Neither companies have yet to confirm any concrete developments in this regard. However, these patented vehicles look promising as they are what a new OEM would initially launch to establish their brand name.
      Chery Patents 2 Electric Cars in India
      First vehicle patented by Chery looks like a full-size luxury minivan, a format which has emerged as the next big thing in luxury among India’s elites. Where design is concerned, it looks like the production version of Exlantix E08 concept which is expected to launch under the Luxeed brand, which is owned by Chery in cooperation of Huawei under Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance (HIMA).
      The second vehicle looks like a mid-size electric crossover SUV. It features a sporty design along with aerodynamic profiling, which is similar to what a lot of Chinese brands are doing these days. There is a good probability that these new patents might just be IP protection exercise by Chery in Indian market.
      Launch by JSW Group?
      Last month, a report by Bloomberg mentioned business tycoon Sajjan Jindal’s JSW Group and Chery Automobiles are working on an NEV (New Energy Vehicle) brand and launch electric vehicles in India. As per the report, JSW Group would pay a one-time technology transfer fee and royalties to Cherry for supply of parts and models, instead of a more traditional partnership.
      Chery Patents 2 Electric Cars in India
      This move marks a significant step in JSW Group’s ambitions in the automotive world and will likely establish itself as an important player in the premium and luxury NEV segment. Chery has a slew of Hybrid and Electric vehicles under its brand and multiple other subsidiaries like iCar, Exeed, Jetour and Omoda / Jaeco among others.
      The launch timeline for JSW and Chery NEVs to hit the Indian market is speculated to be around 2027. JSW Group will reportedly establish an assembly facility in India, while Chery will provide vehicles and associated parts as CKD units. More
