India’s electric vehicle story is picking up speed, and Mahindra wants to stay ahead of the curve. The automaker has officially confirmed that its next born-electric SUV, internally codenamed B07, will debut in 2027.
This upcoming model will be the production-ready version of the BE.07 concept that first broke cover during Mahindra’s Born Electric showcase in August 2022.
If you remember that event, Mahindra didn’t just unveil one or two ideas. It showcased five futuristic electric concepts — XUV.e8, XUV.e9, BE.05, BE.07, and BE.09 — signaling a serious long-term EV strategy. Now, the B07 is set to carry that vision forward.
Timeline
Originally, the BE.07-based SUV was expected to hit the roads by late 2026. However, Mahindra has now shifted the launch timeline to 2027. The confirmation came directly from Rajesh Jejurikar, Executive Director and CEO of Mahindra’s Auto and Farm division, during a recent earnings call.
It’s important to note that “B07” is just an internal codename. The final production model will wear a completely different name when it reaches showrooms. This isn’t unusual — we’ve already seen Mahindra rename its earlier concepts before launch.
The slight delay may actually work in Mahindra’s favor. It gives the company more time to refine technology, optimize production, and align the SUV with evolving EV trends.
Portfolio
Mahindra’s born-electric strategy is already in motion. Out of the five concepts revealed in 2022, three have already transitioned into production models:
| Concept Name | Production Name |
|---|---|
| BE.05 | BE6 |
| XUV.e8 | XEV 9S |
| XUV.e9 | XEV 9e |
These models have given Mahindra’s electric ambitions a solid push. In less than a year, the BE6 and XEV 9e together crossed 41,000 units in sales. The XEV 9S joined the lineup more recently, further strengthening the brand’s EV portfolio.
The upcoming B07 is expected to become a major volume driver. Think of it as the next big pillar in Mahindra’s electric house — not just another addition, but a strategic expansion.
Platform
Underneath the skin, the B07 will sit on Mahindra’s INGLO architecture. This dedicated EV platform already underpins the brand’s current electric SUVs. That’s good news.
Why? A purpose-built EV platform means better battery packaging, improved safety, enhanced driving dynamics, and optimized range.
Battery pack options for the B07 are expected to range between 60 kWh and 80 kWh. This flexible setup should allow Mahindra to cater to different customer needs — from daily city commuters to long-distance highway drivers.
While official range figures are not yet confirmed, SUVs with similar battery sizes typically deliver competitive real-world performance. The INGLO platform is also designed to support fast charging and over-the-air (OTA) software updates, ensuring the vehicle stays technologically relevant.
Design
The BE.07 concept previewed a bold and futuristic design language. Expect the production version to retain much of that visual drama while toning down certain elements for practicality.
Mahindra is likely to keep its sharp LED lighting signatures, muscular stance, and aerodynamic detailing. The design philosophy across its new EV lineup focuses on a clean, modern, and slightly futuristic appeal — something that stands out without being overly experimental.
In simple terms, it will look modern enough to feel futuristic, but grounded enough to feel familiar.
Interior
While Mahindra has not revealed final cabin details yet, the BE.07 concept gave us a clear hint of what’s coming.
The concept showcased a wide triple-screen dashboard, creating a panoramic digital interface across the cabin. It also featured a panoramic sunroof, minimal physical buttons, and touch-based or haptic controls.
If Mahindra follows the execution style seen in BE6 and XEV models, the B07 is likely to offer:
- Large digital instrument cluster
- Central infotainment touchscreen
- Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS)
- Connected car technology
- OTA updates
- Premium materials and ambient lighting
The overall idea is clear: fewer buttons, more intelligence. The cabin is expected to feel like a tech lounge rather than a traditional SUV interior.
Strategy
Mahindra’s EV roadmap is not just about launching electric cars — it’s about building a strong ecosystem. With three production EVs already on sale and the B07 scheduled for 2027, the company is gradually expanding its portfolio rather than rushing.
The 41,000+ combined sales of BE6 and XEV 9e prove there is a growing demand for premium electric SUVs in India. The B07 is positioned to build on this momentum and potentially capture a wider audience.
By 2027, the EV market will be even more competitive. New players will enter, battery technology will improve, and customer expectations will rise. Mahindra seems to be preparing carefully to ensure the B07 arrives as a polished and well-rounded product.
Mahindra’s confirmation of the B07 electric SUV marks another important step in its born-electric journey. Evolving from the BE.07 concept, the 2027 launch will expand the brand’s EV lineup with a model built on the INGLO platform and expected to offer 60–80 kWh battery options.
With futuristic design elements, advanced tech, and strong sales momentum from existing models, the B07 could become a key volume driver in India’s rapidly growing electric SUV market.
