Mahindra Record-Breaking Sales Momentum
Mahindra unveiled the BE 6 and XEV 9e in November last year, but commenced their sales in March. By the end of last month, in just eight months, the company managed to hand over 30,000 units of these models. This achievement becomes even more significant considering Mahindra only began with deliveries of the top-spec Pack Three variants of the XEV 9e and BE 6. The deliveries of the mid-spec Pack Two variants began in late July 2025.
The sales performance demonstrates strong consumer confidence in Mahindra’s premium EV offerings. In a post on social media, the company said, “It started with a belief to Unlimit India, and that belief has grown into an electric roar of over 30,000 Mahindra eSUVs on Indian roads in just 7 months.”
XEV 9e Leads Sales Despite Higher Pricing
Interestingly, the Mahindra BE 6 was widely expected to sell in higher numbers than the Mahindra XEV 9e due to its significantly lower prices. However, preliminary sales data indicated the reality was the opposite, with the larger and pricier model taking the lead. It appears that the Mahindra BE 6’s apparent small dimensions and snug interior have worked against its favour.
The XEV 9e’s success stems from its spacious cabin, premium positioning, and comprehensive feature set that appeals to buyers seeking a true luxury EV experience comparable to international offerings.
Technical Specifications and Performance
Both models are built on Mahindra’s dedicated INGLO platform and offer compelling performance credentials. Mahindra offers the BE 6 in standard-range and long-range single-motor RWD variants with 59 kWh and 79 kWh LFP battery packs, respectively. The former’s rear motor produces 228 hp and 380 Nm of torque, while the latter’s rear motor develops 282 hp and 380 Nm of torque. The standard-range variant maxes out at 557 kilometres, while the long-range variant covers a distance of 683 kilometres. The latter hits 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.7 seconds.
For the larger XEV 9e, the XEV 9e line-up comprises the same two variants as the BE 6, with the same battery pack and motor combinations. The larger model delivers a range of 542 kilometres in the base variant and 656 kilometres in the top variant. The latter accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.8 seconds.
Premium Features Driving Customer Preference
These cars come with best-in-class features like a (12.3+12.3) dual-screen display, AR-based HUD, Ventilated front seats, panoramic glowing sun-roof, 16-speaker Harman Kardon sound system tuned by Popular Music director AR Rahman. For safety, Mahindra EVs offer Level 2 ADAS, seven airbags, ABS with EBD, ESC, and TPMS. They also scored a 5-star crash rating in the Bharat NCAP.
The comprehensive safety suite and premium amenities position these vehicles as serious contenders in India’s growing premium EV segment, competing directly with offerings from Tata Motors, BYD, Hyundai, and MG Motor.
XEV 9S Launch to Expand Portfolio
After the grand success of the BE.06 and XUV.e9, the company is now all set to showcase the XEV.9S on 27th November, a larger and more advanced version of its popular electric SUV. Built on the same platform, the XEV 9S is expected to offer a seven-seat layout, combining practicality with premium design. It is also expected to feature the same powerful battery options seen in the 9e — including the 79 kWh pack with up to 656 km of range and a 59 kWh pack delivering around 542 km.
The 7-seater XEV 9S will address a critical market segment currently dominated by ICE vehicles, offering families a practical electric alternative with no compromise on space or capability.
Market Impact and Future Roadmap
According to industry data, EVs comprised 7.5 percent of sales in the first 10 months of 2025 for Mahindra, marking a significant contribution from the Born Electric range launched less than a year ago. This performance validates Mahindra’s strategic decision to invest heavily in dedicated EV platforms rather than simply electrifying existing ICE architectures.
It added that this is only the beginning, as it plans to expand its electric portfolio further in the months ahead, with more BE models being prepared for both domestic and global markets. The company’s aggressive EV roadmap includes electric versions of popular models like the XUV 3XO and additional variants across both XEV and BE sub-brands.
