Mahindra B07 Electric SUV Confirmed for 2027 — Based on BE.07 Concept
Mahindra has officially confirmed that its next born-electric SUV, internally codenamed B07, will arrive in calendar year 2027. The announcement was made by Rajesh Jejurikar, Executive Director and CEO (Auto & Farm Sector) at Mahindra & Mahindra, during a recent earnings analyst call.
The B07 will be the production derivative of the Mahindra BE.07 concept, first showcased in August 2022 alongside four other Born Electric concepts — Mahindra XUV.e8, Mahindra XUV.e9, Mahindra BE.05 and Mahindra BE.09.
From what I see, this isn’t just another addition — Mahindra appears to be positioning the B07 as a serious volume driver in its EV roadmap.
Mahindra’s Born Electric Lineup So Far
Out of the five concepts revealed in 2022, Mahindra has already brought three into production:
The BE6 and XEV 9e were the first to launch, with the XEV 9S joining more recently. Together, BE6 and XEV 9e have already crossed 41,000 units in sales within just 10 months — a strong start for Mahindra’s premium EV strategy.
With B07 slated for 2027, Mahindra’s FY27 EV scale-up plan will revolve around BE6, XEV 9e, XEV 9S and B07. According to Rajesh Jejurikar, the B07 is expected to be a “very big volume driver” on top of the current three products.
Platform and Underpinnings: Built on INGLO
Like its siblings, the B07 will be based on Mahindra’s dedicated Mahindra INGLO platform.
The INGLO architecture supports:
- Advanced battery packs
- High-performance electric motors
- Next-generation software stack
- Over-the-air (OTA) updates
- ADAS capability
From what we’ve seen in BE6 and XEV models, Mahindra is clearly betting big on software-defined vehicles — and I expect B07 to push that even further.
Design: A More Traditional SUV Stance
Design patents suggest that the production-spec BE.07 remains largely faithful to the concept.
Unlike the sportier BE6, the B07 adopts a more upright, traditional SUV silhouette with cleaner surfaces and a more commanding stance. It retains the distinctive C-shaped LED headlamps and tail-lights, though slightly toned down for production.
Dimensions (Concept Reference)
- Length: 4,565 mm
- Width: 1,900 mm
- Height: 1,660 mm
- Wheelbase: 2,775 mm
This would position the B07 above BE6 and competitors like Maruti eVitara, Hyundai Creta EV and Tata Sierra EV, but below the larger XEV 9e and XEV 9S in Mahindra’s lineup.
In my opinion, this positioning could make it the sweet spot in the range — large enough to feel premium, but not as bulky or expensive as the flagship EVs.
Interior and Features: Futuristic Yet Practical
While production interior details remain under wraps, the BE.07 concept previewed:
- Wide triple-screen dashboard layout
- Large panoramic sunroof
- Minimal physical buttons
- Touch and haptic-based controls
Based on Mahindra’s recent execution, I expect the B07 to offer:
- Advanced connected car features
- Full ADAS suite
- Large digital displays
- OTA software updates
- Premium material finish
Mahindra’s current EVs already feel tech-heavy and feature-rich, so B07 should raise the bar further.
Battery, Range and Performance Expectations
The B07 is expected to follow the battery strategy seen in existing Born Electric SUVs.
Expected Battery Options:
- 59 kWh
- 79 kWh
Projected Performance:
- Power output: Around 230 PS
- Torque: Close to 400 Nm
- Real-world range: Likely to exceed 500 km
If these numbers hold true, the B07 will comfortably compete in the premium mid-size EV SUV segment. Given Mahindra’s sporty positioning for the Born Electric range, I anticipate strong acceleration and confident highway performance.
Launch Timeline and Market Impact
With a 2027 launch confirmed, the B07 will play a pivotal role in expanding Mahindra’s electric portfolio.
India’s demand for premium electric SUVs is steadily growing, and by 2027, competition will be far more intense. However, if Mahindra executes B07 with the right pricing and feature balance, I believe it could become one of the brand’s most important EVs.
The B07 isn’t just filling a gap — it looks strategically placed to drive scale.
