Mahindra Sold More Than 30,000 XEV 9e and BE 6 Units In 7 Months, Here’s What Makes Them So Popular

Currently, Mahindra is only delivering the top two trims of the XEV 9e and BE 6 electric SUVs

Mahindra really changed the game when it launched the XEV 9e and BE 6 in India in November 2024. While the prices were announced in intervals between November 2024 and February 2025, deliveries of the two SUVs didn’t begin until March 2025 and Mahindra only began with deliveries of the top-spec Pack Three variants of the XEV 9e and BE 6. The deliveries of the mid-spec Pack Two variants began in late July 2025. 

Mahindra XEV 9e, BE 6 Sales Milestone

Now, Mahindra has delivered more than 30,000 units of the XEV 9e and BE 6, solidifying that customers have really taken to the new-age electric SUVs from the homegrown brand. For reference, the XEV 9e is currently priced between Rs 21.90 lakh to 30.50 lakh, and the BE 6 is priced between Rs 18.90 lakh to 26.90 lakh (both ex-showroom). 

And the brand isn’t going to stop here. It has announced its latest electric SUV, the XEV 9S, which is scheduled to make its global debut on November 27. You can read more about the XEV 9S here. 

Mahindra XEV 9E, BE 6 What Makes Them So Popular 

So you must be wondering why these two electric SUVs have become so popular. It’s clearly evident that Mahindra has worked hard on providing a bucket load of technology and features on the XEV 9e and BE 6 to make them a worthy option to consider. 

The two SUVs have a design that helps them stand out in a crowd of boxy SUVs and crossovers. Both employ a coupe SUV design that has helped them stand out. While the BE 6 has a more radical design, the subtlety and more conventional design language of the XEV 9e has made it a more popular choice among buyers. Truly, if you have one of either, there's hardly anything on the road that matches these cars. 

Thoughtful attention to detail has been given to the interior of these cars as well. The Mahindra BE 6, once again, takes a different approach and comes with a cabin that’s clearly inspired by fighter-jet cockpits. The XEV 9e, on the other hand, gets a more luxurious looking cabin with a three-screen setup.
