Mahindra New SUV Prices—What's in it?

Mahindra's latest electric SUVs, which will feature premium offerings for the Indian market, have their price set for the BE 6e variant at Rs 23.10 lakh and that of the XEV 9e Pack 2 variant to be Rs 26.27 lakh on the road in Mumbai. Both these variants are offered exclusively with the 59 kWh battery pack, said to balance between performance and efficiency.

Mahindra has also announced the prices for the Pack 3 Select variant. Both the BE 6e and XEV 9e models in this category are offered with the 59 kWh battery pack, with some extra premium features. The on-road price in Mumbai is Rs 25.85 lakh for the BE 6e and Rs 29.43 lakh for the XEV 9e. With these updates, Mahindra now provides a complete pricing structure for all available variants of these highly anticipated electric SUVs.

Futuristic Design and Luxurious Features

Mahindra has ensured that both the BE 6e and XEV 9e models stand out with their futuristic design language. The BE 6e, in particular, offers a sleek and modern exterior with sharp lines and an aerodynamic profile. The aggressive front fascia, LED lighting setup, and distinctive styling elements contribute to its futuristic appeal. Meanwhile, the XEV 9e exudes a more sophisticated look, incorporating a bold grille design, stylish LED headlights, and premium finishes.

When it comes to the interiors, Mahindra has packed both models with luxurious and high-tech features. The BE 6e boasts a dual-screen setup for infotainment and the digital instrument cluster, seamlessly integrated into a grand center console.

Additional highlights include:

• A 2-step recline function for enhanced comfort

• A fixed panoramic glass roof

• Strap-style door handles

• A dual-spoke hexagonal steering wheel

• Advanced driving assistance features such as automatic parking and automatic lane change.

On the other hand, the XEV 9e takes luxury up a notch with added features like:

• An extra screen for passenger entertainment

• A premium 16-speaker Harman Kardon sound system

• A large Head-Up Display (HUD)

• Ambient lighting for a premium cabin experience

• Dual wireless mobile charging

• Powered front seats

• An Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) suite

Mahindra has also made sure that these models come with sustainability at the forefront, thereby using upholstery made from recycled ocean plastic, further emphasizing their commitment to the future being eco-friendly. For security enhancement, Mahindra has also brought Secure 360, a remote monitoring system that allows the user to monitor his vehicle from anywhere.

Performance and Powertrain Options

Under the hood, both BE 6e and XEV 9e can be availed of with two types of battery pack options, i.e., 59 kWh and 79 kWh. Each of these comes with a rear-wheel-drive configuration, which gives the ultimate blend of both power and efficiency.

Both variants of the model are equipped with an electric motor that can generate between 228 and 281 bhp, depending on the variant of the battery. This way, the SUVs will ensure a thrilling ride while maintaining optimum efficiency for long-range capabilities.

Impressive Range and Charging Capabilities

The biggest plus of these electric SUVs is their ARAI-certified driving range. The BE 6e comes with a claimed range of 656 km from a full charge, while the XEV 9e stretches this to 682 km from the 79 kWh battery pack. In all practical terms, both of them should give more than 500 km of range in real-life conditions, and hence they would be extremely useful for long road trips.

The hassle-free experience of charging is also characteristic of these cars. Plugged into a fast charger, this battery can go from 20% to 80% charge in 20 minutes, and users are not placed in conditions of downtime for too long.

Acceleration and Driving Dynamics

The BE 6e and XEV 9e both have some really good acceleration with their powerful motors. The BE 6e can run the distance from 0-100 km/h in just 6.7 seconds, and the XEV 9e runs that same 0-100 km/h distance in a close 6.8 seconds, so they compete at that level with some high-performance SUVs. This will help them attract buyers who look for speed along with sustainability.
