Mahindra is gearing up to strengthen its Born Electric (BE) lineup with the production version of the striking BE.07 concept, internally codenamed B07. During its recent earnings call, Mahindra confirmed that this mid-size electric SUV will hit Indian roads in calendar year 2027 — a slight delay from the earlier October 2026 target, but positioned as a major volume driver for the company’s second phase of EV expansion.
Harrier-Sized Rival in the Making
The BE.07 is designed to slot perfectly into the premium mid-size electric SUV segment. Measuring 4,565 mm in length, 1,900 mm in width, and 1,660 mm in height (with a 2,775 mm wheelbase), it is almost identical in footprint to the Tata Harrier — making it a direct rival to the Tata Harrier EV, which launched in June 2025.While the Harrier EV is already on sale with strong initial reception, the BE.07 arrives with Mahindra’s latest INGLO skateboard platform, promising cutting-edge architecture, shared VW MEB-derived battery and motor tech, and a more futuristic design language.
Powertrain & Performance: RWD Standard, AWD Likely
Mahindra’s INGLO platform supports both 60 kWh and 80 kWh battery packs. The larger 80 kWh unit is expected to deliver a WLTP-certified range of up to 450 km (real-world figures likely in the 350-400 km bracket depending on driving conditions).
- Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) variants: Up to 285 PS (281 bhp)
- All-Wheel Drive (AWD) variants (highly likely, as per platform capability and multiple reports): Dual-motor setup producing up to 394 PS (388 bhp)
The AWD option would give the BE.07 a clear edge in performance and traction — especially appealing for buyers who want sporty acceleration (0-100 km/h in under 6 seconds claimed for AWD) alongside better all-weather capability. Fast charging is expected at up to 175 kW, enabling 10-80% charge in around 30 minutes.This mirrors the Tata Harrier EV’s dual-motor AWD offering but brings Mahindra’s signature bold styling and potentially more spacious cabin layout.
Pricing & Positioning
The BE.07 is expected to be priced between ₹25-30 lakh (ex-showroom), placing it in direct competition with the Harrier EV and other premium EVs like the Mahindra XEV 9e (already on sale) and upcoming models from BYD, MG, and Hyundai.It will sit above the upcoming BE.05 (compact crossover, expected October 2025/2026) and below the larger BE.09 in Mahindra’s BE range, targeting family buyers who want style, space, tech, and zero-emission driving without compromising on presence.
What to Expect Inside
Early concept images show a dramatic dashboard with a full-width integrated triple-screen setup, premium materials, and a spacious 5-seater (or optional 7-seater) layout. Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), over-the-air updates, and Mahindra’s latest connected-car tech will be standard.
Why This Matters for Mahindra
After successfully launching the XEV 9e and BE 6, the BE.07 represents Mahindra’s push into higher-volume segments. With India’s EV infrastructure growing rapidly and FAME incentives potentially returning, a Harrier-rivalling EV with optional AWD at an aggressive price could significantly boost Mahindra’s market share in the booming electric SUV space.
Expected Launch: Calendar 2027 (likely mid-to-late 2027)
Expected Price: ₹25-30 lakh (ex-showroom)
Key Rival: Tata Harrier EV
Standout Feature: Potential AWD variant on the advanced INGLO platform
The BE.07 production model is expected to retain much of the concept’s bold, coupe-SUV-inspired silhouette while becoming more practical for Indian roads. As more details emerge over the coming months, this could very well be one of the most exciting EV launches of 2027.Stay tuned — Mahindra’s Born Electric offensive is just getting started!
