Mahindra is gearing up to introduce a lineup of all-electric vehicles, few by converting existing ICE models while few under its newly launched EV-only sub-brand, BE. While Mahindra’s next set of EVs will be based on the XUV700 in the form of XUV.e8 and XUV.e9, the company intends to launch a slew of born EV range starting with the BE.05. Unlike the XUV.e8 and XUV.e9, which are derivatives of the XUV700, the BE.05 is an entirely new creation, designed from the ground up.

After several spy shots showing the exterior of the Mahindra BE.05, a new set of images have shown what the interior would look like. A video recently leaked online shows the cabin of the BE.05 showing a twin-spoke steering wheel with an illuminated 'BE' logo at the centre.

The Mahindra BE.05 will  feature a two-spoke design wheel  with a quirky hexagonal shape that includes a backlight BE logo and controls on either side for the likely infotainment system operation and digital instrument cluster operation. The screens for the systems are likely to be integrated into one piece, showcasing a new user interface for EVs.

Other than the BE.05, Mahindra has lined up several other electric vehicles for India, which include the XUV.e8 and XUV.e9-either of these shares their underpinnings with the XUV700. For now, the production-spec BE.05 will hit the market in the second half of 2025-its launch timeline remains undecided.

Mahindra BE.05: Features and Dimensions

The Mahindra BE.05 would also come with a twin-screen integrated setup inside, where one would serve infotainment and the other as the driver's display. Other interior expected features include the fabric door handles, a big insert on the centre console, and electrically adjustable front seats with extra comfort. The production car is also likely to carry forward the same dimensions as the concept-4,370mm length, 1,900mm in width, and 1,635mm height.

Mahindra BE.05: Exterior

The Mahindra BE.05 has been spied in a couple of different design specs so far, probably indicative of the entry-level and the premium models aimed at different price brackets. Latest spy shots specify that the top-end iteration of the SUV will feature LED signatures. Up front, large C-shaped LED DRLs take up a fair part of the vertical real estate, thus rendering the BE.05 a bold and modern appeal.

The aggressiveness in the design is continued at the rear with its shaped C signature in LEDs forming the twin enclosures to the right and left of the badge, further underlining the car's assertive attitude. The sporty feeling throughout the whole design is already exaggerated with a twin roof spoiler.

Mahindra BE.05: Powertrain

The Mahindra BE.05 is expected to come with a 60kWh battery pack, good for an estimated approximate range of 450 km through a single charge. Based on the automaker's INGLO platform specific to EVs, the BE.05 will likely default to two-wheel drive, with all-wheel drive available on higher spec variants.
