It will be a sub-4 meter compact SUV, and is rumoured to be the smallest member of the Scorpio family. The SUV is designed to compete against the Tata Nexon, Maruti Brezza and Hyundai Venue.
Design highlights will include an incorporates pixel-type LED headlights, thick body cladding, an upright stance, and a tailgate-mounted spare wheel. The NU_IQ is a flexible architecture, which support conventional petrol/diesel engines, hybrid setups, and full-electric powertrains. Inside the cabin, the lifestyle SUV gets dual-screen dashboard layout, panoramic sunroof, LEVEL 2 ADAS, and ventilated front seats.

To be positioned between the BE 6 Sporteq and the flagship XEV 9e, the Mahindra BE 07 will directly rival the Tata Harrier EV and VinFast VF7. It is likely to be based on Mahindra’s born-electric platform, offering standard Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) and dual-motor All-Wheel Drive (AWD) variants. It will come with a triple 12.3-inch displays for infotainment, co-occupant entertainment screen and a digital instrument console. The SUV will get panoramic sunroof, Harman Kardon Dolby Atmos audio, and LEVEL 2+ ADAS.
The electric SUV will come with 3 battery choices, including 59 kWh, 70 kWh and 79 kWh. The SUV will deliver a driving range of around 530 km to 650 km. It will support up to 175 kW DC fast charging capabilities.
