M&M's big EV push

THE COMMERCIAL LAUNCH of the electric SUVs will take place from 2024 in a phased manner. Here are the first details. The INGLO platform will be used in all models as it offers endless adaptability and its architecture gives rise to modular and scalable design. This aspect allows Mahindra to create electric SUVs that fit consumer desires and lifestyles. Other than the versatility of INGLO, it also offers significant reduction in underbody weight, leading to one of the lightest skateboards. With 5 Radars-1 Vision ADAS architecture, INGLO is future-proofed with advanced L2+ autonomous technologies.

The five SUVs — XUV.e8, XUV.e9, BE.05, BE.07 and BE.09 — will feature wheelbase in the range of 2,762 to 2,775mm, therefore, aimed at straddling the overall product length in the 4.3metre to 4.7-metre category, which largely defines the booming Indian midsize SUV segment.

BE.07 Launch: October 2026 Based on INGLO Platform Dimensions: L x W x H: 4565 x 1900 x 1660 mm Wheelbase 2775 mm Profile: A family space, to explore the places you love with the people you love. Grab your cam, it’s time to make some memories. Designed to offer a first-class experience, with versatility, configurable profiles and curated multi-sensory experiences
