The upcoming Mahindra BE.05 electric SUV has been spied on test yet again, revealing its interior design this time around. The BE.05 will go on sale after the XUV.e8 and the XUV.e9 SUVs, and will likely be the first product from Mahindra’s upcoming BE range to hit the market.

Mahindra BE.05 spy shots: interior, exterior design
The latest spy shots reveal that the BE.05 will likely carry over a similar interior design layout as the concept showcased back in 2022. The test mule gets a flat top-and-bottom two-spoke steering wheel with an illuminated ‘BE’ logo. It also gets a large digital screen that combines the infotainment display and the instrument cluster in a single unit, similar to what we’ve seen on the XUV700.
Exterior spy shots reveal its large C-shaped headlamps at the front, partially covered with camouflage, as well as the C-shaped LED tail lamps. The main headlamp is a separate unit, making use of a halogen light on this particular test mule. It also gets aero-optimised wheels for better efficiency. The BE.05 also gets flush-type door handles.
Mahindra BE.05: battery, range, launch details
While the exact technical specifications for the BE.05 have not been revealed, the battery sizes for its INGLO platform-based EVs will range from 60-80kWh and will be capable of fast charging up to 175kW, which would charge the battery to 80 percent in less than 30 minutes, depending on the model. Mahindra says the 80kWh battery should return a driving range of about 435km to 450km under the WLTP cycle. The BE.05 could offer rear-wheel drive as standard, while a dual-motor all-wheel drive configuration might also be offered.
Set to be launched by October 2025, the Mahindra BE.05 will sit above the XUV400, and will directly rival the recently launched Tata Curvv EV as well as the upcoming MG Windsor EV.
