Mahindra will be showcasing its range of upcoming battery electric SUVs at an event in Hyderabad on February 10. The carmaker had originally revealed the SUVs at its European advanced design centre in August last year with the February outing marking the first time the models will be showcased on Indian soil. The carmaker had revealed five new “born electric” SUV concepts – two under the XUV branding and three under a new BE brand. The concepts previewed future production models each expected to arrive in the coming years.

The electrified XUV range comprises of two models – the XUV.e8 and the XUV.e9 - with the former a more traditional SUV with styling bits derived from the XUV700. The latter meanwhile was a sportier-looking SUV coupe sitting on a longer wheelbase.
The BE range meanwhile comprises of three models, the BE.05, BE.07 and BE.09. The BE.05 is a 4.3m long compact SUV concept with an edgy and sporty design that previews an all-electric SUV to go up against models such as the MG ZS EV. The BE.07 meanwhile featured a more traditional upright design with the production variant set to be targeted as a family SUV. Last was the BE.09 – a “head-turning” grand tourer SUV with a chiselled design, dynamic roof and solid stance.
