The 59kWh battery variants of the Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9e generate a maximum power output of 231hp and 380Nm of torque. Meanwhile, the 79kWh variants put out 286hp and 380Nm. The two SUVs are available in an RWD configuration only. Mahindra may add AWD variants down the line.

The 59kWh battery variants of the Mahindra BE 6 offer a driving range of 556km. Meanwhile, the larger 79kWh battery pack can go up to 682km on a full charge. The XEV 9e has a diminished driving range due to a heavier mass. Its 59kWh and 79kWh battery variants offer a driving range of 542km and 656km, respectively. Using a 175kW DC fast charger, these battery packs can go from a 20% charge to 80% in just 20 minutes.

Final Thoughts

Mahindra has also added a new ‘Default’ mode to the Origin SUVs. This mode replicates the driving feel of ICE vehicles, making it easier for first-time EV buyers to make the switch. The Mahindra BE 6 rivals the Hyundai Creta Electric, Maruti Suzuki e Vitara, and Toyota Urban Cruiser EV in India. The XEV 9e has no rivals yet, but it will lock horns with the upcoming Tata Harrier EV.
