Mahindra BE 05
The first electric SUV on this list is the BE 05. Now, we must mention that ‘BE’ refers to Born Electric. Hence, all BE models with be based on a dedicated INGLO platform and will not be a conversion of some ICE-powered model. The BE 05 is slated to be launched around October 2025. It measures 4,370 mm in length making it a mid-size SUV. It has a couple-SUV silhouette and might come with ADAS features in addition to sustainable materials for the cabin and upholstery.

In terms of specs, it will have a 60 kWh and an 80 kWh battery pack allowing a driving range of 450 km on a single charge on the WLTP cycle. The electric motor will output 285 PS in single motor trim and 394 PS in the dual motor version and the charging from 0-80% will take just 30 mins. Note that these are powertrains on offer for the entire BE range. It is not necessary that the BE 05 will get all these. We reckon, that it would have the single-motor configuration with the smaller battery to keep the costs in check.

Mahindra BE Rall-E
The Rall-E is a unique EV in the sense that it aims to conquer off-roading. There aren’t too many electric off-roaders around.

Being a 4×4 EV, there will be a dual-motor setup with a large battery pack powering the Rall-E. Its exterior look extremely rugged with a tough bumper, sturdy skid plate, flared wheel arches, prominent side body cladding and high ground clearance.
