What if we told you that Mahindra's latest electric SUVs, the Mahindra BE 6e and the XEV 9e, which will be available for bookings in January 2025, have more RAM than the latest iPhone 16 Pro, the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, and even Apple's MacBook Pro M4 base model. Well, this is because the Mahindra BE 6e and XEV 9e come with a whopping 24GB of RAM, which is certainly unexpected. However, this isn't entirely surprising, as Mahindra is focusing heavily on software features and the in-cabin experience, powered by its proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) architecture called MAIA (Mahindra's Artificial Intelligence Architecture). Here's everything you need to know about the car's specifications and how it compares to the latest iPhone. While it's an unusual apples-to-oranges comparison, it's still fascinating to see.

The Mahindra XEV BE 6e is powered by the Snapdragon 8295 chipset. This 5nm chipset is coupled with 24GB of RAM and offers 128GB of onboard storage, the same as the base model of the iPhone 16 Pro. For connectivity, it features Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and 5G support.

For context, the iPhone 16 Pro comes with 8 GB of RAM. The Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, Google's flagship device this year, offers 16GB of RAM. Even Apple's recently launched MacBook Pro M4 base model also features 16GB of RAM.

It's safe to say the future of electric vehicles is here when they now boast more RAM than flagship-grade smartphones. While comparing a car to a smartphone might seem odd, it highlights the increasing importance of software in vehicles.
