Mahindra’s BE.07-based electric SUV confirmed for 2027 launch
Mahindra has confirmed that its next born-electric SUV will arrive in 2027. The upcoming model will be the production version of the BE.07 concept, which was first showcased in August 2022. Internally codenamed B07, the SUV was earlier expected to launch in October 2026, indicating a slight delay in its rollout timeline.
The new model will sit above the BE 6 in Mahindra’s electric portfolio and expand the company’s growing BE range.
Positioning and rivals
The BE.07 will become the second model in the BE sub-brand and Mahindra’s fourth dedicated electric vehicle after the XEV 9e, BE 6 and XEV 9S. While the production version may carry a different name, the concept previewed a 4.6-metre-long, five-seat SUV with a more traditional body style compared to some of the brand’s recent radical EV designs.
Once launched, it is expected to compete with upcoming midsize electric SUVs such as the Tata Harrier EV and VinFast VF7.
Platform and expected specifications
The production-spec model is likely to be built on Mahindra’s INGLO skateboard platform, which also underpins its current born-electric offerings. Battery pack options are expected to range between 60 kWh and 80 kWh, similar to the brand’s existing EV lineup.
In terms of design, the SUV is anticipated to retain key styling elements seen on Mahindra’s recent electric models, including distinctive lighting signatures. However, the overall aesthetic may be relatively more restrained compared to the BE 6 and XEV 9e.
The cabin is expected to be technology-focused, potentially featuring a multi-screen layout similar to other models in the range. It remains to be seen whether Mahindra will incorporate more physical controls in response to user feedback on touch-heavy interiors.
Sales expectations and market context
Speaking during the earnings call, Mahindra’s management indicated that the upcoming B07 is expected to play a significant role in driving volumes. The company currently reports average monthly EV sales of around 4000 units and aims to increase this figure to between 6000 and 7000 units over the course of the year.
However, EV growth has moderated in recent months, and it remains uncertain whether demand will scale in line with these projections by the time the BE.07 reaches the market.
Mahindra’s 2026 roadmap
Following the launch of the XEV 9S in late 2025 and the XUV 3XO EV in January 2026, Mahindra does not have another electric vehicle scheduled for launch in 2026.
Instead, the company is expected to focus on updates to its internal combustion engine (ICE) lineup. A mid-cycle facelift for the Scorpio N is anticipated, and revisions to the Thar range are also likely, although official details are yet to be confirmed.
