Mahindra is set to expand its offering of electric SUVs in India, and will soon release its much-anticipated BE 07. After being revealed as a concept back in August 2022, the production-spec model has been spied undergoing testing on public roads. The BE 07 is expected to enter the market during the first half of 2027.
Contrary to the coupe-styled BE 6, the BE 07 is expected to have a more traditional SUV design, and could be an ideal choice for those looking for something with more space. However, the production model should keep most of its design cues but will take on a more road-ready look.
The front of the car will have a sealed-grille, vertical LED headlights and unique C-shaped LED DRLs. The rest of the design should include aerodynamic alloy wheels, frameless windows, hidden door handles and thick cladding around the wheel arches.
Mahindra will likely sit the BE 07 in the middle of its current electric SUV range, however, details regarding its exact position and price will be announced nearer the launch date. The vehicle will be built on Mahindra’s INGLO electric platform.
Inside, the car will be tech focussed and will likely have a triple-screen dashboard like the XEV 9e and XEV 9S. Other features could include a panoramic glass roof, ambient lighting, high-end sound system, connectivity and Level 2 ADAS.
Beneath the skin, the vehicle will be built using Mahindra’s INGLO electric platform. It is expected to have the same 59 kWh and 79 kWh battery packs as the BE 6. The car could have both rear-wheel drive and twin motor AWD variants, however, Mahindra has yet to confirm any official details or range.
The BE 07 will be a step up from the BE 6 and will compete with the likes of the Tata Harrier EV and VinFast VF7. Mahindra is also expecting this to be a key volume seller in their electric SUV range. They have stated that this model will be a key part of their big launch programme in the first half of 2027.
