Mahindra EV 2025 Lineup: XUV.e8 to Thar.e – Bold Electric SUVs with Futuristic Tech & Indian DNA

Mahindra is charging into the electric future with an aggressive Mahindra EV roadmap under its “Born Electric” strategy. In 2025, Mahindra plans to launch multiple electric vehicles across segments – from coupe SUVs to rugged off-roaders – all built on the INGLO platform, a modular, scalable architecture optimized for safety, performance, and global standards.

XUV.e8: Electric Version of the XUV700

The XUV.e8 is set to be Mahindra’s first mainstream EV launch in 2025. It borrows its silhouette from the XUV700 but features:

  • A closed-off front grille with LED DRL bar
  • Premium interiors with triple-screen dashboard
  • Dual-motor AWD setup with 60–80 kWh battery packs
  • Claimed range of 450–500 km and 0–100 km/h in under 6 seconds

This flagship EV SUV is expected to debut in December 2024 or early 2025 and will rival the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, and MG ZS EV.

BE.05: Sporty Coupe EV for the Youth

The Mahindra BE.05 is a sharp, futuristic coupe-style electric SUV designed for performance and urban style. Key highlights include:

  • A bold aerodynamic body with C-shaped LED lights
  • Dual-motor setup for fast acceleration
  • 60–80 kWh battery offering up to 500 km range
  • Augmented reality heads-up display and connected features

Launch expected by late 2025, targeting a younger audience and directly rivaling the Tata Curvv EV and MG ZS EV.

Thar.e: India’s First Electric Off-Roader

Mahindra is also reimagining the iconic Thar as an electric off-road SUV called the Thar.e. It retains the rugged spirit of the original Thar but modernizes it with:

  • Boxy, upright design with squared LED lights
  • 4WD electric drivetrain with dual motors
  • Massive ground clearance and off-road modes
  • Solar panel integration (concept stage)

Thar.e is expected to launch by 2026, becoming India’s first mass-market electric 4×4 SUV.

INGLO Platform: Mahindra’s Global EV Backbone

All Mahindra EVs will be built on the INGLO platform, which offers:

  • Battery sizes from 60 to 80 kWh
  • LFP cells (BYD partnership)
  • Ultra-fast charging: 5–80% in under 30 minutes
  • ADAS Level 2+, 5-star safety, OTA updates

This platform will also support advanced features like vehicle-to-load (V2L) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) capabilities in the future.
