Mahindra BE.05 Electric SUV: What's New?

The BE.05 is a part of Mahindra's Born Electric range of pure electric SUVs which are based on the INGLO platform. The test mule seems to be similar to the electric SUV concept unveiled last year. However, it has transformed to some extent. From the outside, it features a new LED light bar while the massively flared wheel arches seem to have been toned down. Besides, the rearview wing mirror camera has now been replaced with conventional ORVMs.

Furthermore, the BE.05 is likely to come with semi-active suspension and brake-by-wire tech as standard. Other key elements include drive modes, front storage and ADAS with Level 2+ autonomous capability.
