Mahindra BE.05 Electric SUV: What To Expect?
The XUV.e8, scheduled for its debut in December 2024, has been unveiled as a promising addition to Mahindra's electric vehicle lineup. While Mahindra has offered a glimpse of the production-ready version of the BE.05 SUV, the test mule featured in the accompanying images maintains its pre-production design.
This test mule lacks the final touches seen in production models, such as the headlamps, taillights, and EV charger outlet cap. Notable features include an intriguing integrated spoiler, sleek flush-fitting door handles, A-pillar-mounted ORVMs, reflectors on the rear bumper, and a potential panoramic sunroof. Additionally, the C-pillar-mounted rear door handles and a central stop lamp are also expected to be part of the offering.

The Mahindra BE.05's interior has been teased, hinting at impressive features. It's likely to boast two prominent dashboard screens - one as a touchscreen unit and the other as a driver's display. The extended centre console, stretching to the front armrest, adds a touch of sophistication. A sleek two-spoke steering wheel with touch-based controls, an aircraft-style gear lever, auto-dimming IRVM, rotary dial, and a three-tone upholstery theme promise a modern and functional driving experience. Notably, fabric inserts double as innovative interior door handles, showcasing attention to detail and innovation in design.
While specific powertrain specifications are currently undisclosed, the anticipated 2025 Mahindra BE.05 electric SUV is poised to feature a 60kWh battery complemented by dual electric motors. Additionally, Mahindra plans to unveil the BE.05 Rall-E simultaneously in October 2025.
