Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. have announced a new partnership in India to introduce digital car key functionality for Mahindra’s range of electric SUVs, enhancing convenience and smart connectivity for owners.
With this integration, users of compatible Samsung Galaxy smartphones can now lock, unlock, and even start their Mahindra EVs directly through the Samsung Wallet app, eliminating the need for a physical car key.
The feature uses ultra-wideband (UWB) and near-field communication (NFC) technologies, ensuring a secure and seamless experience. The digital key can also be shared digitally with family members via the app, adding another layer of flexibility.
This collaboration reflects both brands’ commitment to advancing in-car connectivity and digital innovation. Mahindra’s electric SUVs are already known for their performance and technology-driven interiors, and this move further aligns with the company’s vision of offering a future-ready mobility experience.
Samsung has been expanding its digital car key ecosystem globally, working with major automakers to integrate smartphone-based key access. The partnership with Mahindra marks a significant step in bringing this smart vehicle ecosystem to Indian consumers.
