Mahindra XUV.e9: Platform

The XUV.e9 is sure to turn heads with its 4,790 mm length, 1,905 mm width, and 1,690 mm height. Thanks to a generous extension, this electric marvel has a wheelbase of about 2,775mm. Mahindra and Volkswagen collaborated on the BE line, which is based on the INGLO platform and guarantees an advanced electric driving experience. Interestingly, there is no ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) equivalent on the Born Electric platform; it is solely focused on electric vehicles.

The XUV.e series, which debuted as the first electric SUV in India, boasts exceptional performance capabilities. With a remarkable acceleration of in 5 to 6 seconds, the INGLO-based BE series can go from 0 to 100 km/h. The charging process is just as efficient, taking only 30 minutes to rapidly charge the battery to 80% capacity. Moreover, these EVs come equipped with ADAS characteristics, which are great for both safety and convenience.
