Mahindra's Born Electric SUVs have made their debut in India, and their standout futuristic design captures plenty of attention. The BE 6 and XEV 9e prove that you don’t have to spend a fortune to enjoy advanced EV tech. Both products are built on a modern INGLO platform, delivering impressive performance, and come packed with smart features designed specifically for today’s Indian consumers who are not only informed, but also prefer to have their cars up-to-date. Here are the top 5 features that make these electric SUVs truly special:
The BE 6 has a bold and sharp design that makes it stand out on the road. Elements like aero-scoop, aerodynamic alloy wheels and its unique C-shaped LED DRLs with twin-barrel LED headlights give it a strong and modern look.
On the other hand, the XEV 9e has a sleek and stylish coupe-SUV shape that looks premium and futuristic. It features an illuminated Born Electric Mahindra logo on the front. The overall design is smooth, giving it an elegant and aerodynamic shape.
Both SUVs have a fresh and eye-catching design that sets them apart from regular cars. Their modern looks will appeal to young buyers who want something stylish yet practical. Whether you like the bold and sporty look of the BE 6 or the smooth and premium feel of the XEV 9e, both cars bring something unique to the table.
Under the hood, there are two battery options on offer: a 59 kWh pack and a 79 kWh pack. The former churns out 230 PS while catering to those who want an efficient proposition, while the latter churns out 285 PS and caters to those who prefer spirited performance along with usable range. Availability of options means you can choose the battery pack that suits your lifestyle, whether it’s for city commutes or highway runs.
With fast charging that takes the battery from 20 percent to 80 percent in just 20 minutes (with the 175 kWh DC charger) and the ability to sprint from 0 to 100 kmph in 6.7 seconds, they deliver both performance and practicality.
Technology is what usually sets the cars apart these days, and the Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9e do not lack in that department.
The BE 6 impresses with its dual 12.3-inch digital screens that provide crisp, intuitive access to navigation, entertainment, and vehicle statistics. Meanwhile, the XEV 9e steps it up with a triple-screen setup that spans the width of the dashboard.
Both these SUVs offer a comprehensive ADAS suite with features such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, automatic emergency braking and more.
Features such as a head-up display (HUD) are examples of smart integration which ensure that your journey is not only connected but equally engaging as well.
Mahindra is one such manufacturer, which is known for loading their products with features to the brim, and the Born Electric SUVs aren't any different in this aspect.
The BE 6 and XEV 9e are laden with stand-out features such as auto-parking, key fob-controlled forward and reverse movement, ventilated seats, panoramic glass roof with ambient lighting patterns, Vehicle-To-Load (V2L) and a comprehensive 360-degree camera. These features, along with safety equipment like seven airbags, ABS with EBD, and blind-spot detection, offer a level of convenience which is rare in their segment. Whether driving through tight city lanes or cruising on the highway, these features keep you safe and stress-free.
Mahindra has used its expertise, which they have gathered over years of manufacturing cars for the Indian market, and has designed these Born Electric SUVs.
Despite offering premium features typically found in higher-end EVs, the BE 6 and XEV 9e are competitively priced which has made them accessible without compromising on performance or quality. The Mahindra BE 6 is priced at Rs 18.9 lakh, and the XEV 9e at Rs 21.9 lakh (ex-showroom). These SUVs are positioned to cater to a wide range of buyers.
These vehicles demonstrate Indian engineering, from testing in India to being equipped with technologies customised to Indian road conditions.
Mahindra’s BE 6 and XEV 9e are game-changers in the Born Electric SUV market. Their design, performance, technology, and intelligent features make them highly compelling choices for modern, tech-savvy Indian buyers.
At a compelling price, what you get is a pair of EVs that not only promise a greener future but also deliver an exciting driving experience. Whether you prefer the free spirit of the BE 6 or the luxury of the XEV 9e, Mahindra’s new offerings are certainly worth a closer look if you are in the market for a new EV!
