If there’s one brand that’s been on fire lately, it’s Mahindra. Especially in the SUV segment they’ve carved a space that even international brands eye with envy. But looking at the 2025 lineup, it’s clear the company isn’t just stopping there. Some of the upcoming models might just change the game completely.
Mahindra Thar 5 Door Same Rugged Soul, Just Stretched Out
Let’s be honest, the Mahindra Thar has always been an emotion for enthusiasts. But the 3 door version? Not so practical for daily use. That’s why the upcoming Mahindra Thar 5 Door has everyone waiting.

The engines, 2.0L turbo petrol and 2.2L diesel, will stay, but the cabin space and comfort are expected to level up. Still, if Mahindra doesn’t fix the suspension and seat comfort, we’re in for déjà vu. I still remember driving the Thar on Rajasthan highways last year every speed breaker felt like a gym session for my spine. Hopefully, they’ve learned their lesson this time. Expected launch around May–June 2025. Estimated price: ₹15–20 lakh.
Mahindra XUV.e8 The Electric Face of XUV700
Now, let’s talk about the Mahindra XUV.e8, essentially an electric version of the XUV700. When I saw the test mule for the first time, completely unbadged, I knew Mahindra was finally serious about the EV game. The company claims around 450 to 500 km range. But let me be blunt what’s on paper rarely matches the road. Remember the XUV400’s promise of 456 km? In the real world, you were lucky to get 340.

Still, with the new INGLO platform and that Tesla style dual screen setup, there’s genuine potential. My only worry, Mahindra’s software track record. Those OTA update glitches last time? Let’s just say not fun.
Mahindra XUV.e9 Style First, Practicality Later
If design is your weak spot, the Mahindra XUV.e9 will catch your eye instantly. Coupe SUV shape, full length LED panels, futuristic vibes all around. But here’s the truth looks don’t make a car great. If rear headroom takes a hit, it’s no longer a true SUV. Expected pricing around ₹30 lakh. Expected launch: late 2025.

Mahindra BE.05 The Bold One
Now to Mahindra BE.05, Mahindra’s most daring EV concept yet. The design? Sharp, edgy, almost unrecognizable as a Mahindra at first glance. I still remember a closed door presentation in Pune where an old journalist buddy sneaked me a look at the prototype. The first reaction in the room was, “Man, this looks international!” If the production model stays even close to that, Tata better be watching.

The claimed range is 500 km, but let’s be real EV ownership isn’t about range alone. If chargers are hard to find, even the best EV feels useless. Hopefully, Mahindra gets serious about charging infrastructure and after sales this time.
Mahindra Scorpio Electric The Classic Goes Silent
This one excites me the most, the Mahindra Scorpio Electric. A car that’s ruled Indian roads from villages to metros is now going electric. We’ve only seen testing glimpses so far, but imagine that same power and stance, just without the diesel growl. It’ll feel strange at first but strangely good too. If all goes to plan, it should hit roads by late 2025 or early 2026. Expected price: ₹25–28 lakh.

Final Thoughts: Trust, but Stay Cautious
There’s no doubt, Mahindra has evolved. Design, performance, tech, all moving in the right direction. But consistency in software, real world mileage, and after sales service still need work.
I’ve heard many owners say, “Sir, the features are top notch, but when the system hangs, it kills the vibe.” So yes, the Mahindra 2025 lineup looks exciting, but don’t go in blind.
Because honestly, 2025 isn’t just another launch year for Mahindra, it’s the year that will define what kind of brand it truly becomes. If things go right, we might finally say, “Indian SUVs have truly gone global.”
