During the launch event, Mahindra & Mahindra Executive Director Rajesh Jejurikar said,
“The BE 6e and XEV 9e are more than mere cars-they reflect our commitment to sustainable mobility; these models integrate cutting-edge technology, superior performance, and unmatched style to redefine the EV landscape in India.
Why BE 6e & XEV 9e Stands Out?
- Competitive Pricing: The pricing strategy of being undercut compared with others in the same bracket such as Tata Nexon EV Max and MG ZS EV, along with greater features and longer range, makes it a great buy from Indian point of view.
- Innovation Focus: Mahindra’s INGLO platform allows for lightweight construction, efficient energy management, and enhanced safety. The integration of LFP battery technology further underlines its commitment to durability and reliability.
- Sustainable and Stylish: The BE 6e and XEV 9e are crafted to appeal to the environmentally conscious but aesthetically and technologically conscious consumer.
ELCTRIK Speaks
When it comes to the electrification of India’s future, BE 6e and XEV 9e from Mahindra & Mahindra will significantly stand out. Perfectly fusing aesthetics, technology, and performance, these models are set to redefine what Indian customers can expect from an electric SUV.
