The XEV 9S, available in both 7-seater and now 6-seater configurations, starts at ₹25.25 lakh for the captain seat version. The BE 07, expected to launch on August 15, 2026, will sit above the BE 6 with a more conventional SUV profile. And the XEV 4e, expected to launch around early 2026, will further expand the lineup.

The XUV 3XO EV: Mahindra’s Entry-Level Electric SUV
Affordable Electric Mobility Starts at ₹13.89 Lakh
The launch:
On January 6, 2026, Mahindra launched the XUV 3XO EV, expanding its electric vehicle portfolio with a subcompact electric SUV. The XUV 3XO EV is offered in two variants: AX5 and AX7L.
Variant-wise pricing:
Powertrain and performance:
The XUV 3XO EV is powered by a 39.4 kWh battery pack paired with a single electric motor powering the front wheels. The powertrain generates 110 kW of power and 310 Nm of torque, enabling a 0-100 km/h sprint in 8.3 seconds. This positions it among the quickest in its segment.
Range and charging:
Mahindra claims a real-world range of up to 285 kilometres on a single charge. The XUV 3XO EV supports fast charging, with the battery charging from 0 to 80 per cent in about 50 minutes using a 50 kW DC charger. An optional 7.2 kW wall charger is available at an additional cost.
Features and technology:
The XUV 3XO EV comes equipped with a comprehensive feature list:
- Level 2 ADAS: Includes Lane Keep Assist, Auto Emergency Braking, Smart Pilot Assist, and Adaptive Cruise Control
- Adrenox Connected Car Technology: 80+ features with built-in Alexa
- 7-Speaker Harman Kardon Premium Audio: With Dolby Atmos
- 360-Degree Surround View System: With Blind View Monitor
- Twin HD Infotainment: And fully digital instrument cluster
- Dual Zone AC, Electronic Parking Brake with Auto Hold, Panoramic Sunroof
Positioning:
The XUV 3XO EV is Mahindra’s entry point into electric mobility, targeting urban customers seeking a city-focused EV. It competes directly with the Tata Nexon EV and MG ZS EV in the mass-market electric SUV segment. Deliveries began on February 23, 2026.
The XEV 9S: Mahindra’s Flagship Family Electric SUV
6-Seater Captain Seat Option Launched at ₹25.25 Lakh
The launch:
On August 20, 2026, Mahindra launched a new 6-seater version of the XEV 9S electric SUV. The new configuration replaces the 2nd-row bench with two individual captain seats, creating a more premium seating option.
Pricing:
Prices for the 6-seat XEV 9S start at ₹25.25 lakh for the Pack Two Above with the 70kWh battery. The 6-seat configuration commands a ₹25,000 premium over the corresponding 7-seat version.
Variant-wise pricing:
| Variant | Battery | 6-Seat Price (ex-showroom) |
|---|---|---|
| Pack Two Above | 70kWh | ₹25.25 lakh |
| Pack Two Above | 79kWh | ₹26.15 lakh |
| Pack Three | 70kWh | ₹28.05 lakh |
| Pack Three | 79kWh | ₹30.90 lakh |
The 6-seat configuration:
The biggest change is the replacement of the 2nd-row bench with two individual captain seats. Each seat gets its own armrests, while the space between the seats creates a passage towards the 3rd row. This should make access to the 3rd row easier, particularly for families who frequently use all three rows. The rest of the cabin remains largely unchanged, with features such as rear AC vents and dual 65W USB charging ports continuing to be offered.
Battery and range options:
The XEV 9S is offered with three battery choices: 59 kWh, 70 kWh, and 79 kWh.
All versions use a rear-mounted electric motor producing up to 286 PS and 380 Nm of torque.
Charging capabilities:
The 70kWh battery supports up to 160 kW DC charging, while the 79kWh unit can accept up to 180 kW. Mahindra says both battery options can go from 20 to 80 percent in around 20 minutes with their respective charging setups.
Features and technology:
The XEV 9S continues to get a triple-screen setup across the range, along with the Snapdragon 8295 chipset. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are also available, while 5G support takes care of connectivity. The 12.3-inch passenger display gets pre-installed OTT platforms and other applications. The SUV also has an in-car camera, which can be used for video calls, recording videos, and clicking photos.
The Pack Three variant comes with Mahindra’s Vision X augmented-reality head-up display, showing navigation details and driving instructions directly on the windscreen. Safety equipment includes 360-degree cameras, front parking sensors, and Level 2 ADAS, with the range-topping version getting Level 2+ ADAS adding features such as Lane Keep Assist, Blind Spot Detection, Front and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and Auto Parking.
The BE 07: Mahindra’s Upcoming Conventional SUV EV
Expected Launch on August 15, 2026
The launch timeline:
Mahindra is set to launch the BE 07 electric SUV in India on August 15, 2026, expanding its born-electric lineup. The BE 07 is expected to be positioned above the BE 6 in Mahindra’s BE range.
The design philosophy:
Unlike the BE 6’s coupe-SUV silhouette, the BE 07 is expected to adopt a more conventional, upright SUV profile. Spy shots indicate that the production SUV will feature flush-fitting door handles, large alloy wheels, and a relatively upright rear section.
The more upright proportions should give the BE 07 more cabin space than the BE 6, particularly for rear passengers. For buyers who found the BE 6’s coupe-SUV shape too style-focused for practical use, this is a significant update.
Interior and technology:
The BE 07 is expected to get a three-screen dashboard, with separate displays for the driver, infotainment system, and front passenger. This setup is already seen on the Mahindra XEV 9e and XEV 9S and is expected to become a feature across more of the company’s premium electric models.
The cabin is also expected to get a floating centre console, a two-spoke steering wheel with Mahindra’s butterfly logo, and a five-seat configuration.
Expected features:
The BE 07 is expected to get a technology-focused equipment list. Expected features include:
- Panoramic glass roof
- Powered and ventilated front seats with memory function
- Dual-zone climate control
- Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Harman Kardon sound system
- 360-degree camera
- Head-up display
- Level 2 ADAS with adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assistance, and autonomous emergency braking
Battery and range:
The BE 07 will be based on Mahindra’s INGLO electric platform, which is also used by the BE 6, XEV 9e, and XEV 9S. Mahindra is expected to offer the BE 07 with 59 kWh and 79 kWh battery options. The larger battery could deliver a claimed range of more than 600 km, although the final figure is likely to vary. Since the BE 07 is a bigger vehicle than the BE 6, it is unlikely to directly match the BE 6’s claimed 548-683 km MIDC range figures.
Expected pricing:
Market estimates place pricing around ₹26 lakh (ex-showroom), though buyers should treat this as speculative until Mahindra confirms actual figures at the launch. Some sources estimate the expected price at around ₹29 lakh. The BE 07 could be available with both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive options.
The XEV 4e: Mahindra’s Upcoming Coupe-SUV EV
Expected Launch in Early 2026
The anticipated launch:
The Mahindra XEV 4e is an upcoming electric SUV expected to launch in India around early 2026. It is expected to be priced from approximately ₹13 lakh onwards.
Platform and design:
The XEV 4e will be built on Mahindra’s new INGLO platform and is expected to feature a coupe-SUV design. It will be positioned alongside the XUV 3XO EV in Mahindra’s electric SUV lineup.
Positioning:
The XEV 4e will likely slot between the XUV 3XO EV and the XEV 9S, offering buyers a coupe-SUV alternative in the mid-range electric SUV segment. While official details are scarce, the XEV 4e represents Mahindra’s commitment to expanding its electric SUV portfolio across multiple body styles and price points.
Mahindra’s Electric SUV Portfolio: The Full Picture
A Lineup for Every Buyer
The complete portfolio:
Mahindra’s current and upcoming electric SUV lineup now includes:
The INGLO platform strategy:
Mahindra’s electric SUV lineup is built on the INGLO electric platform, which underpins the BE 6, XEV 9e, XEV 9S, and the upcoming BE 07. This modular platform allows Mahindra to offer multiple body styles and battery configurations across its electric SUV range.
The BaaS option:
Mahindra has also introduced Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) options for its electric SUVs. The XEV 9S has a starting price of ₹12.65 lakh under the BaaS scheme, with a battery rental charge of ₹3.75 per kilometre. This significantly lowers the upfront cost of the vehicle for buyers who are comfortable with a per-kilometre battery rental model.
The sales momentum:
Mahindra’s electric SUV series has already achieved significant sales momentum. The company’s EV portfolio, which includes the XUV400, XUV 3XO EV, BE 6, XEV 9e, and XEV 9S, has crossed the 50,000 sales milestone. With the upcoming BE 07 and XEV 4e, Mahindra is well-positioned to further strengthen its position in India’s rapidly growing electric SUV market.
What This Means for Today’s Buyers
The Practical Implications
If you are looking for an entry-level electric SUV:
The XUV 3XO EV offers a compelling package at ₹13.89 lakh, making it one of the most affordable electric SUVs in India. With a real-world range of 285 km, Level 2 ADAS, Harman Kardon audio, and a 0-100 time of 8.3 seconds, it is a strong contender in the mass-market electric SUV segment.
If you need a family electric SUV:
The XEV 9S offers 6-seater and 7-seater configurations with captain seats in the second row. With a range of up to 679 km and fast charging capabilities, it is one of the most practical family electric SUVs in India. The 6-seater option starts at ₹25.25 lakh for the 70kWh variant and goes up to ₹30.90 lakh for the top-spec 79kWh variant.
If you want a conventional SUV shape:
The BE 07, launching on August 15, 2026, offers a more upright, conventional SUV profile compared to the coupe-SUV BE 6. With expected range exceeding 600 km and a three-screen dashboard, it could be the ideal choice for buyers who found the BE 6 too style-focused.
If you are waiting for the XEV 4e:
The XEV 4e is expected to launch in early 2026 with a coupe-SUV design. It will likely slot between the XUV 3XO EV and XEV 9S, offering a mid-range electric SUV option for buyers who want a sportier design.

Final Thoughts
Mahindra’s expanding electric SUV lineup: XEV 4e, XEV 9S, BE 07, and XUV 3XO EV — and the data confirms that Mahindra is executing one of the most aggressive electric SUV rollouts in India.
The XUV 3XO EV, launched in January 2026 at ₹13.89 lakh, serves as the entry point with a 39.4 kWh battery, 285 km real-world range, and Level 2 ADAS. The XEV 9S, now available with a 6-seater captain seat configuration at ₹25.25 lakh, offers up to 679 km of range and a spacious three-row cabin. The BE 07, launching on August 15, 2026, will bring a more conventional SUV profile to Mahindra’s born-electric lineup with expected range exceeding 600 km.

The INGLO platform provides the foundation for this diverse lineup, allowing Mahindra to offer multiple body styles and battery configurations across its electric SUV range. The BaaS option further lowers the barrier to entry, making electric SUVs more accessible to a broader range of buyers.
The honest verdict: Mahindra is positioning itself as India’s most comprehensive electric SUV manufacturer. With a lineup spanning from ₹13.89 lakh to over ₹30 lakh, and covering entry-level, mid-range, and flagship segments, Mahindra offers an electric SUV for nearly every budget and requirement. For buyers in the market for an electric SUV, the choices have never been better.
