    Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9e: Ready to Be Your Primary SUV

    by

    Mahindra XEV 9e and BE 6For years, electric vehicles in India have largely been seen as second cars – ideal for short commutes, but not trusted for long highway journeys or family road trips. Mahindra is out to change that perception with the upcoming BE 6 and XEV 9e, built on its advanced INGLO platform. These new-age SUVs promise the range, space, performance, and value to confidently replace petrol/diesel vehicles as your primary car.
    No More Range Anxiety
    With a certified range of up to 683 km (500+ km real-world range from 79 kWh and 400+ km real-world range from 59 kWh), these EVs can handle intercity drives with ease. Thanks to 175 kW DC fast charging, the battery can go from 20% to 80% in just 20 minutes—less than the time it takes for a coffee break. Together, this makes long road trips practical and stress-free.

    Everyday Practicality for Families
    The flat-floor architecture of the INGLO platform, combined with a long wheelbase, offers more cabin space than comparable ICE SUVs. Add to that a usable frunk plus a large boot, and you get all the luggage room you need for holidays. Ride comfort is ensured by a 5-link independent rear suspension with frequency-selective dampers, tuned for Indian road conditions.
    Performance Without Compromise
    The BE 6 and XEV 9e are no compromise machines. With up to 282 bhp and 380 Nm torque, they sprint from 0–100 km/h in just 6.7 seconds and can touch speeds of 200+ km/h. Unlike most front-wheel-drive ICE rivals, these EVs offer rear-wheel-drive dynamics, making every drive more engaging.

    Smarter, Safer, Better Value
    Inside, you get a triple-screen cockpit, a 16-speaker 1400W audio system, self-parking, and Level 2+ ADAS, putting these SUVs at the cutting edge of technology. Ownership costs are lower too, thanks to:
    – EV subsidies & road tax exemptions (worth ~ Rs 3 lakh in many states)– Lower running costs at just Rs 1.1/km (home charging) compared to ~ Rs 8.9/km for petrol/diesel SUVs– Lower maintenance at Rs 0.4/km vs. Rs 0.8/km for ICE rivals
    Over 5 years, the BE 6 offers an estimated Rs 12.63 lakh advantage and the XEV 9e up to Rs 13.47 lakh, making them more affordable long-term than ICE SUVs.
    Why They Can Be Your Only Car
    Whether it’s space, long-distance capability, daily convenience, or performance thrills, the Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9e check every box. Backed by massive cost savings, modern tech, and environmental benefits, these SUVs prove that EVs are no longer just city commuters—they are ready to be the primary SUV in your household. More

      This achievement reflects not just numbers, but a shift in consumer confidence. With their bold design, powerful performance, and 500+ km of real-world driving range, the BE 6 and XEV 9e are being embraced as primary SUVs by Indian families, not just as secondary city commuters.
      9.3 crore kilometres on Indian roads
      Changing Perceptions About EVs
      Traditionally, EVs in India were considered suitable for short commutes but not trusted for long drives. The BE 6 and XEV 9e aim to change this perception. Built on Mahindra’s advanced INGLO platform, both SUVs combine long range, fast charging, and family-friendly practicality, giving buyers confidence to choose them as their main car.
      The certified range extends up to 683 km, with real-world driving comfortably above 500 km. DC fast charging technology allows the battery to charge from 20% to 80% in just 20 minutes, making long highway journeys practical and stress-free.

      Everyday Family Practicality
      The INGLO platform’s flat-floor architecture and long wheelbase ensure spacious interiors, complemented by a large boot and frunk for added practicality. A 5-link independent rear suspension with frequency-selective dampers has been tuned for Indian roads, enhancing ride comfort for families on daily commutes and road trips alike.
      Performance and Driving Dynamics
      Mahindra hasn’t compromised on performance either. Delivering up to 282 bhp and 380 Nm torque, these eSUVs can sprint from 0–100 km/h in just 6.7 seconds, with a top speed of over 200 km/h. Rear-wheel-drive dynamics, uncommon in ICE SUVs in this segment, add to the engaging driving experience.
      Tech and Value Proposition
      The BE 6 and XEV 9e also stand out on technology and cost savings. Highlights include a triple-screen cockpit, a 16-speaker 1400W audio system, self-parking, and Level 2+ ADAS features. Lower running costs – Rs 1.1/km versus nearly Rs 9/km for petrol/diesel SUVs – and lower maintenance strengthen their value proposition.
      Over five years, Mahindra estimates savings of Rs 12.63 lakh for BE 6 owners and Rs 13.47 lakh for XEV 9e owners compared to ICE SUVs. Buyers also benefit from state subsidies, tax deductions of up to Rs 1.5 lakh on EV loans, and road tax exemptions in several states.
      Leading India’s EV SUV Shift
      With 20,000 units already sold, Mahindra’s BE 6 and XEV 9e are proving that Indian buyers are ready to embrace EVs as their first car, not just a second one. Spacious, practical, powerful, and cost-effective, they are redefining the SUV landscape and marking a turning point for EV adoption in India. More

      by

      Mahindra BE 6 Batman Edition Spotted On Mumbai RoadsDeliveries of Mahindra BE 6 Batman Edition will commence from 20th September, which is also celebrated as the International Batman Day
      Mahindra’s born-electric INGLO platform has spawned impressive products such as the BE 6 and XEV 9e. Building on the growing popularity, Mahindra had recently introduced the BE 6 Batman Edition. It is the world’s first commercially available Batman-inspired SUV. Ahead of commencement of deliveries, BE 6 Batman Edition has been spotted in Mumbai. Let’s check out the details.
      BE 6 Batman Edition Spotted
      Mahindra BE 6 Batman Edition is fully sold out. Mahindra started with 300 units and later increased to 999 units based on heavy demand. Even then, all units were booked in just 135 seconds. Mahindra has stated that more such special editions of other SUVs could be launched in the future. Deliveries start on September 20th and ahead of that a BE 6 Batman Edition can be seen trundling down Mumbai roads in HAVOC VLOGS’ video.

      It will be even more exciting to watch the BE 6 Batman Edition gliding through deserted streets in the dead of night. As the matte-black bodywork blends with the surrounding darkness, the SUV’s sharp lighting elements will ensure a powerful presence. The large 20-inch alloy wheels further bring the experience closer to that of the Batmobile.

      Streaks of light in the environment will highlight special features such as the gold-painted suspension and brake callipers. Inspired by the Dark Knight Trilogy, the BE 6 Batman Edition also has the Bat emblem on the hub caps, front quarter panels, rear bumper, windows and rear windshield. The SUV has an Infinity Roof with The Dark Knight Trilogy Bat emblem. Another key highlight is Carpet lamps with The Dark Knight Trilogy Bat emblem logo projection.
      Mahindra BE 6 Batman Edition
      Exclusive Batman theme
      Mahindra BE 6 has a race-inspired and gamified cockpit, which transforms into something more exciting with the special enhancements of the Batman Edition. There’s liberal use of golden accents such as the brushed gold halo around the driver cockpit and the brushed Alchemy Gold Batman Edition plaque on the dashboard with numbering. Similar golden treatment can also be seen on the steering wheel, in-touch controller, electronic parking brake and custom key fob.
      Mahindra BE 6 Batman Edition Launched
      Dark Knight Trilogy Bat emblem logo can be seen on the Boost button, seat headrests, interior labels and seat stitching. There’s pinstripe graphic and Batman branding across the passenger dashboard panel. Also, race car inspired open straps with Batman Edition branding. Other highlights include charcoal leather instrument panel and suede and leather upholstery with gold sepia accent stitching.
      Mahindra BE 6 Batman Edition
      Performance
      Mahindra BE 6 Batman Edition is based on the top-spec Pack Three trim. It utilizes a 79-kWh battery pack, offering a certified range of 683 km (MIDC P1 + P2). The electric motor generates 210 kW / 285 PS and 380 Nm of torque. The SUV has an advanced regen system with 4 levels, which helps optimize range. BE 6 Pack Three can achieve full charge in 8 hours when using an 11.2 kW AC charger. With a DC 180 kW 400A charger input, 20% to 80% can be achieved in just 20 minutes.
      Mahindra BE 6 Batman Edition Launched
      Mahindra BE 6 Batman Edition is undeniably cool, but what about practicality? Seeing that Batmobile-esque ride in your driveway every day might start to feel like you’re stuck in a never-ending Batman marathon. Even the Caped Crusader himself only rolls out the Batmobile for the big chase scenes, not for grabbing coffee or dropping off dry cleaning.
      Mahindra BE 6 Batman Edition
      While heavy traffic can slow down even the fastest cars, BE 6 does reveal its agile character whenever there’s room to manoeuvre. The SUV is quick to change lanes (when available) and race ahead at a fast pace. With the Satin Black colour of BE 6 Batman Edition, the agile manoeuvres seem a lot more pronounced and engrossing. Quite similar to the way the Batmobile is depicted in Batman movies.
      Can BE 6 Batman Edition owners handle the daily dose of Dark Knight drama without craving a break from all that brooding intensity? Only time will tell if they’ll stay forever enamoured or start dreaming of a less… bat-tastic commute. More

      Mahindra BE 6, XEV 9e Getting Ready For Europe Debut – NU_IQ SUVs To Meet Euro NCAP Safety

      by

      New Mahindra BE 6One of the important European markets for Mahindra EVs can be UK, which has a free trade agreement with India
      Mahindra has seen phenomenal success with its new-gen electric cars – BE 6 and XEV 9e. Recently launched BE 6 Batman Edition was sold out in just 135 seconds, creating a new record. After the domestic success, Mahindra is now looking to introduce its EVs across European markets. Let’s check out the details.
      Mahindra EV export plans for Europe
      It is worth mentioning that Mahindra already has a global presence. Overseas markets covered include Australia, New Zealand, the Middle East, South Africa, Philippines, Sri Lanka and Nepal. The BE 6 and XEV 9e were recently launched in Nepal. European markets will be harder to penetrate, given the dominance of established European brands alongside rising Chinese competitors.
      Mahindra XEV 9e
      However, Mahindra has some advantages too such as the free trade agreement (FTA) with the United Kingdom. Also, the company already has a design studio in the UK. These factors will play a key role in helping Mahindra to launch its EVs in the UK and other European countries. A free trade agreement with Europe can further reduce complexities and costs. However, nothing has been finalized as yet.
      It is reported that Mahindra has already set up a dedicated team to lead the Europe export project. However, exact details are not available. It is possible that specific variants of BE 6 and XEV 9e could be introduced in the UK. There could even be heavily tweaked versions or distinctive body styles, even though the INGLO platform will be retained.
      Mahindra Vision SXT concept based on NU_IQ platform
      Europe can see significant demand for EVs in the future, as nations aim to reduce emissions. The European Union has set the target of zero emissions by 2035, applicable for all new cars and vans. Similarly, the United Kingdom aims to have EVs contribute 80% of the overall car sales in the country. Chinese carmakers like BYD, MG Motor, Leapmotor and Haval are already attracting UK customers with advanced, yet competitively priced offerings. Something similar is possible with Mahindra’s new-gen electric cars.
      More traction with NU_IQ SUVs
      Mahindra’s SUVs built on the advanced NU_IQ platform could unlock even greater export potential. SUVs derived from this platform will target local as well as global C-segment SUV markets. A multi-energy platform, NU_IQ supports various powertrains including ICE, hybrid and electric. The company has already stated that NU_IQ meets the safety requirements of Euro NCAP, Australian NCAP and Bharat NCAP.
      With the NU_IQ platform, Mahindra can access both ICE and EV segments in Europe. Starting point will be the UK, which currently seems the most viable option. Other European markets can be explored later. Regions like Eastern Europe present strong opportunities, owing to the large segment of price-sensitive consumers. Mahindra could introduce the necessary tweaks in styling and equipment list based on local preferences.

      A First-of-Its-Kind Collaboration
      The BE 6 Batman Edition was originally unveiled on the eve of India’s 79th Independence Day, August 14, 2025.

From special edition badges to themed elements, the BE 6 Batman Edition taps into the cultural resonance of the Dark Knight while retaining Mahindra’s EV DNA.
      Part of Mahindra’s Electric Origin Lineup
      The BE 6 Batman Edition is based on Mahindra’s all-electric BE 6, which sits within the company’s Electric Origin SUV lineup. The range showcases India’s world-class EV design and technology, setting benchmarks in safety, performance, and innovation. The Batman Edition also ties into Mahindra’s Unlimit India vision, which focuses on delivering global-first innovations and inspiring pride, passion, and progress among Indian consumers.
      Demand Beyond Expectations
      The fact that 999 units sold out in just over two minutes not only highlights the strong brand pull of Mahindra’s EVs but also the massive fan following for limited-edition, pop-culture-inspired automobiles. For Mahindra, it signals the potential of merging iconic storytelling with cutting-edge mobility solutions to create highly desirable products.
      With this milestone, Mahindra has once again reaffirmed its growing presence in the electric vehicle space, while also proving the effectiveness of innovative collaborations to capture customer imagination.

      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

      Mechanically, there is no difference between Pack Two and Pack Three with B79 battery pack equipped variants. Mahindra XEV 9e is the first monocoque D SUV in India to break the barrier of FWD layout as it comes with RWD as standard. This unlocks the fun quotient for buyers when compared to the sea of FWD D Segment SUVs on sale in India. With smaller 59 kWh battery pack equipped variants, we get 228 bhp of peak power and 380 Nm of peak torque. Which is higher than all the monocoque D Segment SUVs in India.

      Variants with larger 79 kWh battery pack raises the performance ceiling to 282 bhp of peak power and 380 Nm of peak torque allowing for 0-100 km/h sprint in 6.8s and 202 km/h top speed. Mahindra XEV 9e remains the first D Segment SUV in India to bring performance like this to the masses. Falling in the Rs 25 lakh to Rs 30 lakh (OTR) price bracket, Mahindra XEV 9e Pack Two B79 variant might prove to be the best-selling within XEV 9e’s variant lineup in near future.
