The all-new wireless feature has been made available for all versions of the two electric SUVs of Mahindra and Mahindra.
Mahindra & Mahindra’s latest electric SUVs, XEV 9e and BE6 have now been upgraded with a much-awaited feature across all variants. Launched in November last year, both EV models from the leading automaker are now equipped with the wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality.
This makes it much easier for users to connect their smartphones to the vehicle. Part of a major software update, the latest upgrade has now been included across all new deliveries, Car Lelo reported.
The all-new wireless feature has been made available for all versions of the two electric SUVs available in the market. This means those planning to buy Mahindra XEV 9e and BE6 will now be receiving wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto from the base Pack One version to the top-end variant, Pack Three.
The company has confirmed that this feature will be pre-installed in the factory-dispatched vehicles.
Ultimately, this brings to an end the long wait for this key functionality that customers have been waiting for ever since the company launched it last year. It started bookings on Feb. 14, while deliveries commenced in mid-March.
The latest upgrades have made the tech experience even more advanced among the two electric SUVs. The wireless system boasts a Snapdragon chipset powered by Qualcomm that has been aligned with the latest infotainment setup of the vehicles.
Both Mahindra XEV 9e and BE6 are equipped with dual 12.3-inch displays and have 5G support. Coming with remote vehicle control, they offer several built-in apps that enhance the user experience.
As far as existing users of XEV 9e and BE6 are concerned, they will be required to visit the dealership to get the new upgrade.
The Mahindra XEV 9e comes at a starting price of Rs 21.9 lakh. The electric SUV offers a coupe-style design, AR-based head-up display, triple screens, Level 2+ driver assistance and a 16-speaker sound system. The vehicle has a range of 656 km.
Mahindra & Mahindra’s other EV offering, the BE6, has a range of 683 km. With a base price starting from Rs 18.9 lakh, the car comes with a unique “Boost” mode, a 0-100 km/h time of 6.7 seconds and rear-wheel drive.
The Mahindra Group flagship has shipped over 11,000 units of the XEV 9e and BE6 so far. XEV 9e made up 59% of the total bookings, while the BE6 comprised the remaining 41%. Mahindra and Mahindra is aiming to ramp up production to decrease the waiting times of the vehicles.
