    Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9e Lower Variants Spied En Route Showrooms

    by

    Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9e Lower Variants Spied
    Poised to be India’s highest-selling electric SUV brand, Mahindra Auto has launched BE 6 and XEV 9e in the country. These have already emerged as popular choices, offering people a taste of RWD fun along with a plethora of safety, features and eye-candy design. Mahindra is now the third highest-selling electric car maker in India.
    However, Mahindra has only commenced the deliveries of the top-spec Pack Three trim. There could be a significant boost in sales and volume once the mid-spec and base-spec trims also start deliveries. Now, lower variants of Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9e have been spied en route showrooms ahead of deliveries. Let’s take a closer look.
    Strategy to boost sales?
    Mahindra has recently revealed that more than 75% of the bookings come from the top-spec Pack Three trims. Also, the footfall into the showrooms has not been able to convert into bookings concerning lower trims. That is because Pack Two and Pack One display units have not yet reached dealerships.
    Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9e Lower Variants Spied
    These recent developments might be the company’s measured strategy to line up display units of Pack Two variants in the showrooms as the deliveries are nearing. This will help boost bookings of lower trims and boost overall volume for Mahindra. The company is considering launching larger 79 kWh battery pack variants with lower trims as well.
    BE 6 and XEV 9e Lower Variants
    How does one identify a lower variant of BE 6 and XEV 9e? We ask this because Mahindra has kept the equipment list for lower trims quite generous. They get large wheels (18-inch with BE 6 and 19-inch with XEV 9e) with stylish wheel covers, premium finish on the cladding, LED lighting all around and the same dominating appearance as top-spec trims.
    These recent spy shots are credited to automotive enthusiast Rahul Bhosale who spotted them at Pune-Nashik highway. They show lower trims of XEV 9e and BE 6. One main giveaway is the pixel-painted Black roof option, which is only limited to Pack Three and Pack Three Select trims. Pack Two, Pack One Above and base Pack One do not get this design element.

    The XEV 9e and BE 6 units spied recently do not feature this Black roof option, which could only mean that they are from a trim level below Pack Three Select, in the hierarchy. These are highly likely to be Pack Two, deliveries to which, are set to start in July 2025, after the deliveries of Pack Three Select start in June 2025. More

      Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9e Lower Variants Might Get Larger 79kWh Battery

      by

      Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9eOne of India’s leading car manufacturers, Mahindra Auto, is charging (pun intended) into the country’s electric vehicle segment. Recently launched BE 6 and XEV 9e have yielded excellent results for the brand, but they can always achieve more. That’s probably the reason why Mahindra is considering expanding variant lineup of BE 6 and XEV 9e.
      These new variants will reportedly be based on lower trim levels of BE 6 and XEV 9e, but pack the larger 79 kWh battery pack that is currently only offered with the higher trim levels. That could change soon as the lower trims of BE 6 and XEV 9e might also get the option of the larger battery pack.
      BE 6 and XEV 9e Variants
      As things stand, Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9e are offered in Pack One, Pack One Above, Pack Two, Pack Three Select and Pack Three trim levels. Deliveries of Pack Three have commenced, while bookings for all trim levels have been opened. Deliveries of Pack Three Select will start in June, Pack Two in July, Pack One Above and Pack One in August.
      Since deliveries began in March 2025, Mahindra has sold 6,300+ units of BE 6 and XEV 9e. As revealed by the company, more than 75% of total bookings are for the top-spec Pack Three trim. This may be because buyers who are smitten by BE 6 and XEV 9e know that only Pack Three deliveries have commenced.
      Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9e Prices
      This lean in the bookings towards Pack Three could also be due to the fact that it is solely offered with the larger 79 kWh battery pack that promises up to 683 km or 500+ km in real world. A recent report reveals that customers have been asking for an extended range from larger 79 kWh battery pack in lower variants.
      New variants incoming?
      This shift in priority from features and creature comforts to driving range is really interesting. This might shift the perspectives for Mahindra which might consider launching a 79 kWh battery pack with lower trim levels to make a higher range accessible to a larger audience. This may also boost sales for the brand and position it as India’s best-selling EV brand, up from #3 position in April 2025.
      Since Pack Two and Pack One variants are not on display, it is proving rather tough to convert footfall into the showroom into bookings. This could change once deliveries of said trims start or display units start to reach showrooms. Once launched, 79 kWh battery variants of Pack One and Pack Two might bring more volumes for the brand than Pack Three is currently bringing.

      Mahindra XUV3XO EV Spied – Launch Nears

      by

      2025 Mahindra XUV3XO EV SpiedAfter the much-needed transition from XUV300 to XUV3XO, Mahindra has made significant advances in the sub 4m SUV segment. Now, Mahindra is poised to further enhance its appeal in the sub 4m SUV space with the launch of XUV3XO EV, which is the spiritual successor of XUV400 currently on sale in India. Let’s take a closer look.
      Mahindra XUV3XO EV Spied Testing
      You must be wondering why this article revolves around sub 4m SUV segment while XUV400 has been a larger 4.2m vehicle. That is because Mahindra is shrinking its entry-level electric SUV in size and is making it a direct rival to Tata’s Nexon EV. This will also position it below BE 6 in company’s electric SUV lineup.
      2025 Mahindra XUV3XO EV Spied
      The recent spy shots by automotive enthusiast Mayur Sinh Rana from Rajkot who spotted this test mule on Rajkot-Ahmedabad Highway. This test mule was fully camouflaged to conceal its identity. However, it looks almost identical to XUV3XO ICE version which was launched last year. Even the size of upcoming XUV3XO EV matches that of XUV3XO ICE.
      The only real advantage of offering the larger 4.2m length (apart from more pleasing proportions) with XUV400 was boot space. Mahindra has tackled this issue when transitioning XUV300 to XUV3XO taking the boot space from 257L to up to 364L by offering a skinny space-saver spare wheel and loading beyond the rear seat backrest height.
      2025 Mahindra XUV3XO EV Spied
      Now, the company can achieve better cost efficiency as all exterior and interior sheet metal panels and plastic trims are shared between ICE and EV models. Just like XUV400, XUV3XO EV’s charging port is on front left quarter panel. XUV3XO EV packs unique alloy wheel designs when compared to its ICE counterpart.
      Same design as XUV3XO ICE
      All exterior lighting elements and features will be shared between ICE and EV models and the same is expected with interiors. Mahindra might introduce a few Blue or Copper highlights to signify its electric powertrain. Other than that, XUV3XO EV will feature the most premium cabin in sub 4m space with soft-touch plastics and more.
      2025 Mahindra XUV3XO EV Spied
      Where features are concerned, we can expect the same 10.2-inch infotainment screen, 10.2-inch instrument cluster, dual-zone climate control, rear AC vents, panoramic sunroof, camera-based Level-2 ADAS, 360-degree cameras, powered driver’s seat, leatherette upholstery, cruise control, auto-dimming IRVM and more.
      Powertrains-wise, XUV3XO EV is likely to retain its 34.5 kWh (375 km range) and 39.4 kWh (456 km range) battery pack options. The main highlight of XUV3XO will be its electric motor which offers around 150 PS of peak power and a staggering 310 Nm of peak torque for blistering acceleration. Now that XUV3XO EV is smaller, it could be lighter and the acceleration could be even better. Launch is likely around festive season. More

      Mahindra BE 6 Two-Door Render With Wide-Body Kit Looks Dope!

      by

      Mahindra BE 6 Two Door Render By ZephyrIndian automotive market does not favour wild designs or anything out of the ordinary. These are usually not considered ‘a safe bet’ by general consensus. However, Mahindra is trying to appeal to the younger generation with the BE 6, a new electric vehicle that has a wild design. If that is not wild enough, Zephyr Designz has two Mahindra BE 6 Two-Door concepts that look dope.
      Mahindra BE 6 Two-Door Render
      While there is nothing wrong with a generic-looking car, there’s some novelty with uniquely designed vehicles. Mahindra BE 6 is one such vehicle and bears a futuristic design that looks like it came straight out of a Cyberpunk world. Zephyr Designz has envisioned two Two-Door concepts based on a standard BE 6.
      Mahindra BE 6 Two Door Render By Zephyr
      Both concepts get the same bodywork which has been named “Zephyr Widebody Kit”. This widebody kit makes the Mahindra BE 6 a lot more imposing, which was already wide to begin with, at 1,907 mm. With this kit, it looks like the width is over 2,100 mm. There are extended wheel arches, lending a muscular appeal.
      These wheel arches are not for show, as they house massive alloy wheels that look like 23-inchers or 24-inchers. Big wheels are usually employed to go over big brakes and Zephyr has given it big brakes with red callipers. The extended wheel arches have a sharp line that flows into BE 6’s shoulder line and into the rear wheel arches.
      Mahindra BE 6 Two Door Render By Zephyr
      More Dramatic than Stock!
      Ground clearance has been lowered for a slammer look and there are sporty side skirts and front lip spoilers to further accentuate the sportiness. Length has been shortened as there are only two doors to accommodate. With this two-door concept, Mahindra BE 6 looks a lot sportier and the only thing it now misses is frameless windows.
      This Mahindra BE 6 Two-Door render looks the best from the rear. It shows fat tyres employed on this concept. Rear split roof spoilers and trunk spoilers are slightly dramatised in this concept. Rear wheel arch extensions have air vents to smoothen airflow and this concept has a massive diffuser that seems to be running across the length.
      Mahindra BE 6 Two Door Render By Zephyr
      While Mahindra is highly unlikely to launch a 2-Door (3-Door, technically) version of BE 6, concepts and renders like this help us to visualise how the car would look if it were real. Of the two colourways Zephyr has showcased with this render, we think Matte Black looks drop-dead gorgeous and almost like a Batmobile, while the Gloss Pink with Gold wheels doesn’t look half bad.
