Mahindra BE 6 : Mahindra BE 6 has stormed India’s EV scene as a bold, driver-focused coupe SUV, blending futuristic looks with blistering performance since its 2024 launch.
Hitting sales milestones and fresh editions like Formula E keep it buzzing into early 2026, despite a minor fire hiccup grabbing headlines.
Striking Design That Turns Heads
The BE 6 screams concept car with its sharp C-shaped LED DRLs piercing like laser beams and a massive aero vent channeling air for stability at triple-digit speeds.
Flush door handles pop out smoothly, while 19-inch alloys (or optional 20s) wrap around low-rolling-resistance tires that hug corners without drama.
That sloping roofline gives it true coupe flair, measuring up to Creta-sized rivals at 4.4m long, but the rear’s flat stance—with connected LEDs, dual spoilers, and a central reverse light homage to racers—sparks endless debates among enthusiasts.
Colors like Tango Red or Stealth Black make it a street magnet, though piano black cladding begs for PPF to fend off scratches from daily battles.
Powerhouse Electric Heart
Twin battery choices shine: the 59kWh pack dishes 228bhp and 557km ARAI range, but the 79kWh beast ramps to 282bhp, 380Nm torque, and 683km claim—real-world 500km+ on highways with a full load.
It blasts 0-100kmph in 6.7s, topping 202kmph, feeling like a rocket in Race mode while Range mode sips efficiently.
RWD setup with MTV-CL suspension and frequency-dependent damping irons out bumps, though firmer tuning tosses a bit over washboard roads.
Single-pedal regen (multi-level via paddles) nails city stops, and brake-by-wire delivers precise feel without fade.

Cabin Built for Thrills and Chill
Slide into the cockpit—it’s driver-centric with a squared-off wheel, aircraft toggles for cams and lights, and fabric door pulls straight from race cars.
Dual 12.3-inch screens (driver display plus infotainment) run wireless AA/CP, Alexa, ChatGPT, and BYOD for rear tablets syncing climate or Netflix.
Leatherette seats ventilate up front, ambient lights pulse to music via GrooveMe, and 16-speaker Harman Kardon booms bass-heavy.
Rear space surprises with good knee room for 6-footers (headroom tighter for giants), plus AC vents and armrest—three abreast works for short hops, not marathons.
Boot swallows 455L (frunk adds 35kg for cables), powered tailgate eases loading for weekend escapes.
Tech Overload Meets Safety
ADAS Level 2 (adaptive cruise, lane keep, blind-spot) calibrates smartly for chaotic Indian roads, backed by 7 airbags, high-stiff body, and driver drowsiness alerts.
Secure360° cams watch when parked, dashcam records mishaps, and auto-park snags spots sans markings.
12.3-inch AR-HUD projects nav and alerts, in-car cam snaps selfies or calls, air purifier scrubs cabin air. Formula E Edition amps it with racing livery, round lamps, and rear wing for track-day vibes.
Ownership Realities and Buzz
Prices span Rs 18.90-27.65 lakh ex-showroom across 20 variants (Pack One to Three), with waitlists over two months signaling hot demand.
Sales hit 30,000+ combined with XEV 9e in months, crossing 20,000 by mid-2025 despite a dip then surge—December 2025 alone moved 1,481 units.
Owners gush over fun factor and 400-500km real range, but gripe software glitches and service lags; one fire traced to a burst tire, not battery, eased fears.
Batman and Formula E limited runs (300 and 999 units) flew off with perks like E-Prix tickets.
Rivals Feel the Heat
BE 6 undercuts Nexon EV on power while trouncing Curvv EV in range and wow-factor against Hyundai Creta Electric’s tamer drive.
XEV 9e sibling offers more space but costs extra; it’s the enthusiast pick over family haulers like Harrier EV.
Value packs lifetime battery warranty, 20-min DC top-ups (180kW), and 5-star Bharat NCAP nod, making it a disruptor in the Rs 20-30 lakh scrum.
