The image shows the BE 05 from a top angle, which limits our view of the front and rear design. The bonnet design continues to carry an upright stance with bold creases, just like the concept version. It seems to carry a full-length gloss black applique, which could house huge LED DRLs. 

This will be the first Mahindra to sport a fixed glass roof which seems to cover a large part of the cabin. The doors of the BE 05 will get the flush door handles, similar to the XUV700. Lastly, the boot lid flaunts a muscular appeal with a spoiler and full length connected C-shaped LED tail lights. 

We can also see a faint glimpse of the interior, which looks quite futuristic and premium with dual integrated display screens. One can expect the cabin of the production-spec BE 05 to look similar to the concept version.
