Mahindra To Launch A New Premium Electric SUV Next Year

GaadiWaadi -

Mahindra’s Tata Harrier.ev rival likely dubbed ‘BE 7’ to be the fourth model in its new range of dedicated electric SUVs based on a skateboard platform

After launching four new electric SUVs in quick succession in less than 12 months, Mahindra is hitting the pause button in the zero-emission space. The company will launch its next electric model in 2027, and that will be a C-SUV competing with the Tata Harrier.ev.

During Mahindra’s Q3 FY2026 earnings conference call on 11 February, Rajesh Jejurikar, the Executive Director and CEO of the company’s auto and farm business, talked about plans on the EV front. He revealed that the production version of the Mahindra BE.07 concept, introduced in August 2022, will debut in 2027.

Speaking further, Jejurikar said that Mahindra believes the next Born Electric model “will be a very big volume driver.” The company will have a portfolio of six electric models next year, comprising XUV 3XO EV, XUV 400, BE 6, the BE.07 concept’s production version, XEV 9S, and the XEV 9e. Jejurikar said that Mahindra probably won’t use the BE.07 name for the final vehicle, and we think BE 7 or BE 7e would be a fitting choice instead.

The Mahindra BE.07 concept measures 4,565 mm in length, 1,900 mm in width, and 1,660 mm in height and has a 2,775 mm wheelbase. Its production version will likely have similar dimensions, comfortably positioning it between the Mahindra BE 6 and Mahindra XEV 9S. The exterior and interior design should be close to the concept.

Mahindra may launch the BE.07 concept’s production version in two single-motor RWD variants. In the base variant, it could use a motor producing 170 kW (228 hp) and 380 Nm of torque and a 59 kWh LFP battery pack. In the top variant, it may combine a more powerful motor that develops 210 kW (282 hp) and 380 Nm of torque with a 79 kWh LFP battery pack. The base variant may deliver a range of around 530 kilometres, and the top variant around 650 kilometres.

The Mahindra BE.07 will likely be loaded to the brim with premium features, including a semi-adaptive suspension, a frunk, a gesture-controlled power tailgate, electrically deployable flush door handles, a 12.3-inch passenger touchscreen, and a panoramic sunroof with integrated ambient lighting. A slew of Level 2+ advanced driver assistance systems, seven airbags, and a 360º camera system should be among the main safety equipment.
