Is the Mahindra BE.05’s design too futuristic for the Indian market?
The Mahindra BE.05 certainly looks bold, futuristic and very different from the India SUVs we are used to seeing. It's certainly eye catching with its coupe like roof line, sharp angles and unique front fascia. However, India has earned itself a reputation for being conservative when it comes to car buying in general and especially as regards family vehicles. The BE.05's design might not be for everyone: some will love its avant garde looks, others will see it as too radical. Plus, there’s the practicality question: Does this sleek design come at the expense of interior space or visibility? In a market where resale value is everything, will such a unique design hold up in years to come, or will it quickly go out of style? This is an interesting debate about whether Indian consumers are ready to accept such a futuristic design in their daily drivers.
I feel it's about time we had some exciting designs in India! It's going to turn heads and the BE.05 looks sick. Yes some uncles will find it too 'modern', but I bet the younger buyers will love it.
Nah, it's too much. What Indians want are practical, no nonsense cars. It looks like something from a sci fi movie. Good luck trying to sell that to the average family in need of a reliable SUV.
The move is bold but I think Mahindra's timing is good. The future is EVs, so why not let's design like it? That’ll help distinguish the BE.05 from the usual cookie cutter SUVs.
That sloping roofline makes me worried about visibility. It looks cool but can you see anything out the back? What about headroom for tall passenger? Practicality shouldn’t come at the cost of style.
Now let’s be real, most people buying this will be in cities where it will fit right in. Mahindra isn't targeting rural areas with this. I feel urban Indians are ready for something different.
