Mahindra & Mahindra recently introduced two new electric SUVs, the BE.6 and the XUV.9, both built on the innovative INGLO platform. The launch event showcased the vehicles' extensive feature sets and advanced technologies, exceeding those typically found in similarly priced competitors. Let's explore the luxurious features offered by Mahindra.
Pricing and Specifications
Prior to examining the Mahindra SUVs' competitive advantages, let's review their powertrains and pricing. Both new Mahindra SUVs will offer 59 kWh and 79 kWh battery pack options, providing anticipated real-world ranges exceeding 400 km and 500 km, respectively. The smaller battery pack will power motors generating 228 bhp and 380 Nm of torque, while the larger battery pack will power motors producing 282 bhp and 380 Nm of torque. Mahindra has announced base model pricing: the BE 6e starts at ₹20.05 lakh (on-road, Mumbai), and the XEV 9e starts at ₹23.19 lakh (on-road, Mumbai). What additional features do these well-equipped SUVs offer compared to the competition?
Mahindra's Premium Features: Augmented Reality Head-Up Display
Mahindra has significantly expanded the feature sets of its new SUVs. Both the BE 6e and XEV 9e models incorporate an Augmented Reality Integrated Head-Up Display. This AR functionality enhances the HUD user experience by overlaying information, such as GPS navigation, directly onto the display. Unlike standard HUD systems that may simply indicate turns, the AR system presents directional guidance in a realistic, visually immersive manner. While this feature may sound novel in description, its in-car application provides a compelling user experience.
Glass roof repaired.
Mahindra's offering distinguishes itself from competitors by providing a fixed glass roof instead of a smaller or panoramic sunroof, resulting in an expansive, unobstructed view of the sky. Furthermore, integrated ambient lighting and tasteful graphics enhance the nighttime driving experience. This design prioritizes a unique and sophisticated aesthetic.
Mahindra's Premium Features: 360° Security and Integrated In-Car Camera System.
Similar to many contemporary vehicles, the new Mahindra eSUVs incorporate a 360-degree camera system. This system in both SUVs offers a unique safety enhancement beyond lane display; the cameras continuously record the vehicle's surroundings. Consequently, owners can remotely monitor their vehicle's location via a mobile application, particularly useful given the vehicle's striking design and potential for attracting attention in less-populated areas.
Beyond external views, our new SUVs offer an innovative in-cabin camera system. A discreet camera near the rearview mirror provides a comprehensive view of the vehicle's interior, enabling live feed viewing via a mobile application. This functionality extends beyond selfies to encompass real-time monitoring of the cabin.
Triple-screen configuration
The XEV 9e's superior positioning above the BE 6e necessitates a premium offering. To enhance the buyer experience, the XEV 9e features a tri-screen layout: a digital instrument cluster, a central touchscreen infotainment system, and a passenger-side entertainment touchscreen, all 12.3 inches. The passenger screen offers access to Netflix and other OTT services. Furthermore, when parked, both touchscreens can integrate to provide a larger, combined viewing area for enhanced entertainment.
Mahindra Luxury Features: Automated Parking Assist
The Auto Park Assist feature, in particular, has been exceptionally impressive. Mahindra's new SUVs offer autonomous parking capabilities, even in challenging spaces, utilizing five radars and twelve parking sensors for optimal performance. Furthermore, the new key fob allows for remote vehicle movement, both forward and backward. In summary, Mahindra has significantly advanced its feature set and specifications in its new electric SUV models.
