Mahindra & Mahindra has officially confirmed that its next born-electric SUV — internally codenamed B07 — will arrive in calendar year 2027. The announcement came straight from the top: Rajesh Jejurikar, Executive Director and CEO of Mahindra’s Auto and Farm Sector, made the disclosure during the company’s Q3 FY2026 earnings analyst call, giving India’s electric vehicle market one of its most anticipated confirmed timelines of the year.
For buyers holding out for a bigger, more traditional Mahindra electric SUV, the wait now has a definitive end. Here is a deep dive into everything we know about this upcoming electric SUV — specs, design, competitors, expected price, and why Mahindra itself is calling it a “very big volume driver.”
What Is the Mahindra B07? The BE.07 Story
The B07 is the production version of the Mahindra BE.07 concept, which was first revealed in August 2022 as part of Mahindra’s iconic “Born Electric” showcase event. At that event, Mahindra unveiled five bold electric concepts: the XUV.e8, XUV.e9, BE.05, BE.07, and BE.09 — signalling the company’s serious intent to dominate India’s premium EV segment.
Since then, three of those concepts have already reached the roads:
- BE.05 → Mahindra BE 6 (launched late 2024)
- XUV.e9 → Mahindra XEV 9e (launched late 2024)
- XUV.e8 → Mahindra XEV 9S (launched late 2025)
The B07 (based on BE.07) will be the fourth born-electric vehicle from Mahindra and the second model in the BE sub-brand, slotting above the BE 6 in the lineup.
“We believe the BO7 will be a very big volume driver on top of what we are doing with our current three products.” — Rajesh Jejurikar, Executive Director & CEO, Mahindra & Mahindra
Why Is It Delayed? Original Launch Was October 2026
The B07 was originally pencilled in for an October 2026 launch. The 2027 confirmation represents a slight delay, though Mahindra hasn’t officially cited specific reasons for the pushback. The carmaker has also confirmed that no new electric vehicles are scheduled for launch in 2026, with the current EV focus resting on BE 6, XEV 9e, XEV 9S, and the recently launched XUV 3XO EV (January 2026).
Mahindra BE.07 / B07: Expected Specifications
Dimensions
Based on the concept, the production-spec BE.07 is expected to measure:
- Length: ~4,565 mm
- Width: ~1,900 mm
- Height: ~1,660 mm
- Wheelbase: ~2,775 mm
This makes it noticeably larger than the BE 6 (~4.37 m) but positioned below the flagship XEV 9e (~4.79 m). It targets the highly contested mid-size electric SUV space in India.
Platform
The B07 will be built on Mahindra’s purpose-designed INGLO electric platform — the same architecture underpinning BE 6, XEV 9e, and XEV 9S. INGLO supports advanced battery configurations, high-performance permanent magnet synchronous motors, and over-the-air (OTA) software updates.
Battery Options
The B07 is expected to offer two battery pack options, consistent with Mahindra’s existing strategy:
- ~59 kWh battery (entry-level)
- ~79 kWh battery (top-spec)
Power & Torque
Sharing the powertrain architecture with the BE 6, expect:
- 228 bhp / 380 Nm (59 kWh variant)
- 282 bhp / 380 Nm (79 kWh variant)
Expected Range
- ~550 km+ claimed range (59 kWh)
- ~650 km+ claimed range (79 kWh)
Charging
DC fast charging support up to 180 kW, similar to existing Mahindra EVs — allowing rapid top-ups on highway runs.
Design: More Conservative Than BE 6
One of the key differentiators of the B07 will be its more traditional SUV body style. Unlike the polarising, coupe-inspired BE 6, the BE.07 concept previewed an upright, boxy SUV silhouette — one that may appeal to a wider set of buyers who prefer conventional proportions with modern electric styling.
Expect design carry-overs from the Born Electric family, including:
- C-shaped LED headlamps and taillamps
- Flush door handles
- Wide wheel arches
- Mahindra’s distinctive illuminated electric logo
The overall aesthetic is expected to be edgy but not radical — think deliberate restraint to broaden mass-market appeal.
Interior: Tech-Heavy With a Triple-Screen Layout
The BE.07 concept showcased a futuristic, tech-forward cabin dominated by a wide triple-screen dashboard layout, similar to what Mahindra offers in the XEV 9e. Features expected in the production model include:
- 3-screen dashboard setup
- Large panoramic sunroof
- ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems)
- OTA updates
- Advanced connectivity suite
- Likely incorporation of physical controls (based on user feedback on current models)
Rivals: Who Will the Mahindra B07 Compete Against?
The B07 is positioned to take on a strong set of rivals in the growing mid-size EV SUV segment:
| Competitor | Expected Price | Battery Range |
|---|---|---|
| Tata Harrier EV | ₹21–27 Lakh | ~500 km |
| VinFast VF7 | ~₹20–25 Lakh | ~450–500 km |
| Maruti eVitara | ~₹17–22 Lakh | ~500 km |
| Hyundai Creta EV | ₹17.99–23.5 Lakh | ~473 km |
The B07 is expected to be premium to most of these rivals, leveraging its larger size, INGLO platform tech, and Mahindra’s growing EV brand equity.
Mahindra’s Broader EV Strategy: 80,000 Units by 2027
The B07 announcement doesn’t exist in isolation — it’s a cornerstone of Mahindra’s ambitious EV growth plan. Here’s the context:
- Current EV sales: ~4,000 units/month (as of early 2026)
- 2026 target: 6,000–7,000 units/month
- 2027 target: 7,000–8,000 units/month → over 80,000 units annually
BE 6 and XEV 9e collectively crossed 41,000 units in just 10 months since launch — a strong market validation. The XEV 9S and XUV 3XO EV (priced from ₹13.89 lakh) are expected to further widen the funnel in 2026. By 2027, the B07 is Mahindra’s bet on unlocking a new volume layer in the mid-size EV space.
Key Takeaways
- Launch: Calendar Year 2027 (slight delay from original October 2026 target)
- Internal Codename: B07 (production name TBA)
- Based On: BE.07 concept (revealed August 2022)

Conclusion
The Mahindra BE.07 (B07) is shaping up to be one of the most important electric vehicles launched in India — not just for Mahindra, but for the Indian EV market as a whole. With a proven platform, strong battery options, impressive claimed range, and a design that aims to balance modernity with mainstream appeal, it could be the electric SUV that finally makes mid-size EVs go truly mainstream.
As India’s EV ecosystem matures with better charging infrastructure, competitive pricing, and wider consumer awareness, a 2027 launch puts the B07 in a strong strategic position. Keep watching this space for the official name reveal, final specifications, and pricing closer to launch.
