🔄 For Existing Owners: What You Need to
If you’ve already booked or taken delivery of a Mahindra XUV.e9 or BE.6 prior to this update, there’s important information:

📦 Part of a Broader Feature Update
This isn’t just a one-off addition. Wireless CarPlay is part of a broader push by Mahindra to ensure its EV lineup
- Competes with offerings from Hyundai (like the Ioniq 5), Tata, and MG
- Delivers a premium in-cabin experience focused on tech-savvy urban drivers
- Supports hands-free control, smart navigation, entertainment, and voice assistants (Siri/Google Assistant) without the need for cables
🌍 Why It Matters
In the current EV market, wireless smartphone integration is no longer a luxury—it’s an expectation. Many Indian consumers have been vocal about the absence of wireless CarPlay in earlier Mahindra models like the XUV700 or Scorpio-N. This latest move suggests that Mahindra is listening to feedback and moving quickly to close technology gaps.
