Company shares bird’s eye view of BE.05
The teaser image shared by the company’s design head, Pratap Bose on his personal social media handle, shows a bird’s eye view of the upcoming coupe electric SUV. The pictures show a clear view of the large panoramic glass roof which appears to be stationary. It’s hard to tell at this point whether or not this massive glass roof will make it into the final production-spec model.
BE.05 trial already started
Mahindra has already started testing the upcoming BE.05 on the roads. Test mules of the electric crossover have been spotted on a few occasions in the recent months. It is expected to hit showrooms in October 2025 and will sit above the XUV400 in Mahindra’s all-electric lineup. The battery-powered SUV will be based on the Mahindra BE.05 and will come in both 2WD and 4WD configurations. The former will be powered by a single motor at the rear axle with peak outputs of 281 Bhp and 535 Nm of torque. The latter, on the other hand, will offer a twin-motor setup – one motor on each axle, with the rear motor producing 108 bhp and 135 Nm of torque, though the combined output is yet to be revealed.
