Mahindra BE.05 electric SUV spied for the first time

The Mahindra BE.05 electric SUV is expected to debut in October 2025.

Mahindra showcased five new electric SUV concepts in August last year. Among them was the BE.05, featuring a radical new design. Now, a pre-production prototype of this EV has been spotted on public roads for the first time.

The Mahindra BE.05 is part of the brand's 'Born Electric' range of pure-electric products based on the INGLO platform. The test mule looks similar to the concept showcased almost a year back. It has the striking new LED light signature up front, while the massively flared wheel arches appear to have been toned down. The rearview cameras have been replaced with conventional ORVMs.

The BE.05 is expected to come with semi-active suspension and brake-by-wire. Other features include a frunk and trunk storage, drive modes and ADAS with L2+ autonomous capability.

Mahindra's 'Born Electric' range of electric SUVs will be offered in single-motor and dual-motor configurations, with an overall output rated at 228-282 BHP and 335-389 BHP, respectively. The carmaker claims the SUVs would be capable of sprinting from 0-100 km/h in 5-6 seconds.

Mahindra will offer multiple battery options ranging from 60-80 kWh. The batteries will be able to charge up to 80% in 30 minutes using a 175 kW fast charger.
