Upcoming Mahindra EVs To Focus On Long-Range & Latest Tech
Mahindra & Mahindra is gearing up to introduce five all-new born-electric SUVs starting from early 2025. The Mahindra XUV.e8 concept-based electric SUV will be the first model to go into production, followed by the XUV.e9, BE.05, BE.07, and BE.09. Speaking to an online media publication, R. Velusamy, President of Automotive Technology and Product Development at M&M, revealed that the upcoming Mahindra EVs will focus on long range, advanced technology, and overall user experience. This strategy aims to attract buyers who prioritize the long-term benefits of EVs. Additionally, these long-range and high-tech EVs will enable Mahindra to create new market segments and boost sales.
Specifications of the upcoming Mahindra EVs have yet to be revealed. However, the company has confirmed that the forthcoming electric SUVs will feature battery packs ranging up to 80kWh, offering power between 230bhp and 350bhp. The range is expected to be around or over 500km on a single charge. All the upcoming Mahindra EVs will come with an AWD (all-wheel drive) setup.
Mahindra XUV.e8
The first of the upcoming Mahindra born-electric SUVs, the XUV.e8, will stay true to its concept, featuring a closed-off front grille, full-width LED light bars extending down into the bumper, LED headlamps integrated into the bumper, and a sharply contoured bonnet. The rear section of the Mahindra XUV.e8 will resemble its ICE-powered counterpart, the Mahindra XUV700.
Dimensionally, the XUV.e8 will be 45mm longer, 10mm wider, and 5mm taller than the XUV700, with a 7mm longer wheelbase. Its overall length, width, and height will be similar to the XUV.e8 concept, measuring 4740mm, 1900mm, and 1760mm, respectively.
Mahindra XUV.e9
The Mahindra XUV.e9, another of the upcoming born-electric SUVs, isn’t an electric counterpart of any existing model. It will have a coupe-like design language with a 5-seat configuration. The XUV.e9 is likely to share its electric powertrain with the Mahindra XUV.e8. Some of its key highlights will include a closed-off grille, bumper-mounted headlamps, LED lighting elements, gloss black cladding around the body, and a stubby tail section.
