Samsung Ecosystem to Mahindra's Electric Lineup
Ecosystems have become the new currency of convenience in the tech world. While Apple has long championed this idea, Samsung has built its own powerful ecosystem that ties together smartphones, wearables, and connected devices. Now, with Mahindra joining forces, the ecosystem extends beyond personal electronics and into the driver's seat.
The integration of Mahindra's digital key with Samsung Wallet means that Galaxy users will soon enjoy seamless connectivity between their devices and Mahindra's latest eSUVs. A live demonstration of this feature has already been showcased, with a full rollout expected soon.
Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9e: How It Works
Once available, owners of the BE 6 and XEV 9e will be able to store a secure digital version of their car key inside Samsung Wallet. Through this, they can:
- Lock or unlock the car using their Galaxy smartphone or Galaxy Watch.
- Start the vehicle without a physical key.
- Share access with other Samsung users for a specific duration.
Earlier, Mahindra offered similar functionality through its proprietary Me4U app, but Samsung Wallet integration takes it a step further - offering a more native, secure, and user-friendly experience for Galaxy device owners.
Mahindra BE 6: Security You Can Trust
Security is at the heart of this collaboration. Since Samsung Wallet supports biometric authentication, only verified users can access the digital key. And if the Galaxy device is ever lost or stolen, the Samsung Find service can remotely deactivate the key, instantly blocking unauthorized access to the vehicle.
This multi-layered protection ensures that the convenience of digital access doesnt come at the cost of safety - something both Mahindra and Samsung have emphasized in their design.
Mahindra's Take on the Partnership
Nalinikanth Gollagunta, CEO of Mahindra's Automotive Division and Executive Director at Mahindra Electric Automobile Ltd., shared his excitement about the collaboration: "Our Electric Origin SUVs XEV 9e and BE 6- have already captivated customers with their futuristic design and advanced technology. Partnering with Samsung to bring Digital Car Key via Samsung Wallet adds another layer of innovation, ensuring every journey is more seamless and intelligent."
His statement reflects Mahindra's growing focus on enhancing the ownership experience through digital innovation - not just in terms of performance or range, but in the overall connected lifestyle that electric mobility represents.
