Mahindra is gearing up to expand its electric vehicle lineup with several new entries, including the intriguing BE.05 coupe SUV, set to compete with Tata's Curvv EV. We get an early look at what to anticipate from this upcoming addition to Mahindra's electric fleet thanks to our recent sighting of this type.
Design and Dimensions
The BE.05 distinguishes itself with a dynamic coupe silhouette characterized by a signature sloping roofline and a low-slung integrated rear spoiler. It measures 4,370mm in length, 1,900mm in width, and 1,653mm in height, providing a substantial stance with a wheelbase of 2,775mm. This positions the BE.05 notably above Mahindra's XUV400 in terms of size, marking it as a larger and potentially more premium offering.
Styling Highlights
Mahindra's BE.05 will feature a bold front fascia with distinctive C-shaped LED Daytime Running Lights and split LED headlamps. The design features integrated fog lamps and sizable air dams into the bumper giving it a strong aggressive look. The SUV will also have large wheels that accentuate its muscular appearance as well as squared-off wheel arches. A-pillar mounted Outside Rear-View Mirrors (ORVMs), flush-fitting door handles, linked LED taillights, and a split spoiler are further fashionable features that enhance the car's aggressive look.
Powertrain Speculations
Under the hood, the BE.05 is expected to be equipped with a 60kWh battery pack that will power the front axle-mounted motors. There's anticipation for a dual-motor version that could deliver enhanced performance, though specific power and torque figures remain under wraps for now.
By providing a variety of body styles and sizes to appeal to a broad spectrum of consumers, Mahindra is proving with the BE.05 its commitment to expanding its lineup of electric vehicles in addition to increasing the number of vehicles in the lineup. The BE.05 coupe SUV has been added to the roster in an attempt to capitalize on the increasing demand in the Indian market for sporty, well-equipped electric cars.
