Mahindra XEV 9e And BE 6 Top-end Pack 3 Variant To Be Available With A Much More Affordable Price Tag

Currently, the SUV maker offers the top-end variants of both EVs with just the larger 79 kWh battery pack, which won’t be the case 

• The BE 6 and XEV 9e are the first products under Mahindra’s fresh ‘BE’ and ‘XEV’ sub-brands for new EVs.

• Both get the same battery pack choices of 59 kWh and 79 kWh, with a maximum claimed range of over 600 km.

• Shared features include multi-zone AC, panoramic sunroof, and ADAS.

• Currently, top-end BE 6 and XEV 9e cost Rs 26.9 lakh and Rs 30.5 lakh (ex-showroom pan-India), respectively. 

At the recent Mahindra Tech Day event, the SUV-focussed brand had announced the top-end Pack 3 variant prices of the BE 6 and XEV 9e, both with the larger 79 kWh battery pack. However, if you found these variants to be on the pricier side, we have some good news for you. Mahindra has confirmed in the official website that the top-end variant of both the electric offerings will be available with the smaller 59 kWh battery pack as well.

That means one can expect these variants with the smaller battery pack to come at a much more affordable price. Currently, the XEV 9e and BE 6 Pack 3 variants with the 79 kWh battery pack cost Rs 30.5 lakh and Rs 26.9 lakh, respectively.
