Mahindra appears to be gearing up to add a pair of electric coupe-style SUVs to its Australian range.

CarExpert has discovered two recent Australian trademark applications for the XEV 9E and the BE 6, strongly suggesting the battery-powered models are just around the corner.

Mahindra has already said it is prioritising electric vehicles for the Australian market, with the models all but confirmed for a local release.

Potentially undercutting Tesla with a cut-price Model Y competitor, Mahindra’s XEV 9E was unveiled in November 2024 with a choice of two Volkswagen-sourced batteries – a 59kWh unit, and a larger 79kWh version offering up to 533km of driving range, based on the WLTP standard.

Buyers get a choice of a 170kW or 210kW electric motor – each with 380Nm and each driving the rear wheels – with the more powerful variant delivering a claimed 0-100km/h sprint time of less than seven seconds.

Inside, the XEV 9E comes with three 12.3-inch screens stretching across most of the dashboard, along with a 16-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, dual-zone climate control, wireless smartphone charging, a panoramic sunroof, and over-the-air software updates.

While the XEV 9E is more family-friendly of the two, the BE 6 offers a sportier design, with a driver-oriented wrap-around dash, dual 12.3-inch screens, augmented reality head-up display, and slightly improved acceleration times.
