Mahindra’s electric push seems to be working wonders, especially with the XEV 9e and BE 6. These two born-electric SUVs have racked up an impressive 10,000 unit sales within just 70 days of deliveries starting in March 2025. Introduced in November last year, both models have struck a chord with buyers looking for premium EVs that combine design, range, and features without compromise.

Popularity
The success of the XEV 9e and BE 6 isn’t surprising when you look at what they offer. From ultra-premium interiors to future-forward styling and a long driving range, these SUVs are built to impress. Mahindra seems to have cracked the formula — futuristic looks, loaded cabins, and performance that quashes range anxiety.
Hitting the 10,000 sales milestone in just over two months proves there’s serious demand for quality EVs in India, especially in the upper-mid to premium segment.
Range
Range anxiety? Not here. Both the XEV 9e and BE 6 come with two battery options — 59kWh and 79kWh. Depending on the pack, they offer a maximum driving range of up to 683km on a single charge. That’s more than enough for a week’s commute or a quick out-of-town getaway.
Here’s a quick battery and range comparison:
| Battery Pack | Range (claimed) |
|---|---|
| 59kWh | Approx. 470km |
| 79kWh | Up to 683km |
Currently, both SUVs are rear-wheel drive, which helps with efficiency and performance. But Mahindra has already hinted that AWD versions are on the way, clearly aiming to take on rivals like the Tata Harrier EV.
Features
Where these models really shine is in the cabin. If you want your EV to feel like a lounge on wheels, Mahindra’s got you covered. Both the XEV 9e and BE 6 share a premium equipment list that includes:
- Auto Park Assist
- Panoramic glass roof with ambient illumination
- Twin high-resolution displays
- Powered driver’s seat
- Ventilated front seats
- 16-speaker Harman Kardon sound system
- Auto-dimming IRVM
- Powered tailgate
- Dual-zone climate control
These features put them at par with, or even ahead of, many luxury SUVs. It’s no wonder they’re flying off showroom floors.
Lineup
As of now, Mahindra’s all-electric lineup includes three models:
- XUV400 – Based on the ICE XUV300 platform
- XEV 9e – Born electric SUV
- BE 6 – Born electric SUV
The XUV400 is more of a bridge model — an EV adaptation of an existing ICE vehicle — while the BE 6 and XEV 9e are built on a dedicated EV platform from the ground up. This allows Mahindra to optimize space, performance, and features for a true electric experience.
Future
With the addition of AWD options and more tech expected down the line, Mahindra’s born-electric lineup is just getting started. These first 10,000 units are just a glimpse of what the brand has in store. Buyers seem ready, and Mahindra is clearly up for the challenge.
