The five electric SUVs unveiled by Mahindra and Mahindra on Monday, August 15, are not concept cars.

On Monday, August 15, Mahindra and Mahindra unveiled its first five fully-electric SUVs. These EVs will be launched under two brands - the XUV and the all-new electric-only brand BE. The EVs are named the XUV.e8, XUV.e9, BE.05, BE.07 and BE.09. The XUV.e8, XUV.e9, BE.05 and BE.07 are going to be launched in India by 2026, with the first one launching as early as 2024.

Mahindra said that the upcoming five electric SUVs will form the cornerstone of the carmaker's global ambitions. "Today with government support, rapid lowering of the cost of ownership and increased consumer awareness of environmental awareness issues, we believe that the time is ripe and right for us to enter the four-wheeler markets with our range of battery electric vehicles," Mahindra said.

Mahindra sells eVerito as its only electric car in India. The electric car segment in the country is currently led by Tata Motors. It has more than 80 per cent market share among all electric four-wheeler manufacturers. Mahindra aims to challenge Tata's dominance in the EV space with these upcoming models. The carmaker hopes that it will sell at least one electric SUV out of every four SUVs by 2027.
