    For starters, Mahindra has gotten rid of the full-stop in the names – BE.05 and XUV.e9, which is a step in the right direction. The new Infinity logo for Mahindra Electric Origin SUVs is what is seen on XEV lineup and is illuminated. With BE lineup, the BE illuminated logo has been retained, which we saw with concept.
