Mahindra is making strategic moves in its EV portfolio by launching new long-range variants of the BE 6 and XEV 9e SUVs at significantly lower prices. These models now come with the larger 79kWh battery, which was earlier exclusive to the top-tier trims, offering buyers more range at a lower price point.
This update is a major win for electric SUV buyers seeking extended range without paying for additional premium features in the top variants.
Bigger Battery, Smarter Value
Both the BE 6 and XEV 9e Pack Two variants now offer the 79kWh battery, in addition to the existing 59kWh option. By making the high-capacity battery available in mid-level trims, Mahindra aims to offer a balanced mix of range, performance, and affordability.
This move gives customers greater flexibility—they can now enjoy extended driving range without having to jump to the most expensive variant.
Price Comparison: 59kWh vs. 79kWh
- BE 6 Pack Two (59kWh) – ₹21.9 lakh (ex-showroom)
- BE 6 Pack Two (79kWh) – ₹23.5 lakh
→ ₹1.6 lakh difference for 126km more range - XEV 9e Pack Two (59kWh) – ₹24.9 lakh
- XEV 9e Pack Two (79kWh) – ₹26.5 lakh
→ ₹1.6 lakh more for 114km added range
Despite the ₹1.6 lakh price hike, the value proposition improves substantially by avoiding the premium charged for the top trim while still gaining the long-range capability.
Savings Compared to Top Models
- The BE 6 Pack Two (79kWh) is now ₹3.4 lakh cheaper than the BE 6 Pack Three top variant.
- The XEV 9e Pack Two (79kWh) undercuts the top model by a whopping ₹4 lakh.
This pricing strategy makes the mid-level 79kWh variants a smart pick for range-focused buyers who don’t necessarily need every top-end feature.
Claimed Range Advantage
- BE 6 (79kWh): 683 km range
(126 km more than the 59kWh version) - XEV 9e (79kWh): 656 km range
(114 km more than the 59kWh variant)
These impressive numbers are ideal for long road trips and users who prefer less frequent charging, adding serious practicality to Mahindra’s electric offerings.
Delivery Timeline and Upgrade Options
Mahindra has confirmed that deliveries for the Pack Two (79kWh) variants of both BE 6 and XEV 9e will begin before the end of July 2025.
Customers who are already on the waiting list for deliveries can opt to upgrade to the long-range Pack Two model without paying for the costlier Pack Three trim, offering more range without added luxury expenses.
