Mahindra BE 6: In India’s rapidly growing EV space, the Mahindra BE 6 has surprised all with a new-age futuristic look. Priced between Rs 18.90 lakh and Rs 26.90 lakh (ex-showroom), it offers an exclusive mix of design, performance and innovation, giving an experience akin to a sci-fi film.
Bold Design With Sporty Interior
Mahindra BE 6 gives a good first impression thanks to its coupe-sculpted SUV form and sharp front. Taut lines, door handles flush with the body, angular body panels and dramatic C-shaped LED DRLs make the BE 6 look different. The back is sporty yet elegant thanks to the full-width LED bar, double spoilers, and diffuser.
Inside, BE 6 is even more sophisticated-looking. The cockpit-forward design borrows from Formula E race cars, with twin 12.3-inch screens and a special two-spoke steering wheel with a glowing BE logo. The gear selector, roof-mounted switches, and infinity roof with programmable lighting are evidence of next-generation luxury.
Impressive Sound Experience
The BE 6 has a 16-speaker Harman Kardon system supported by Dolby Atmos 5.1.2 and a 1400W amplifier. The cabin becomes a 3D concert hall, letting sound flow all around. Virtual VenueScapes technology further boosts the experience by simulating famous concert halls and stadiums.
The result is a rich, immersive feel that makes every drive special, whether you’re playing music, movies, or even taking a Zoom call inside the cabin.
Advanced Safety And ADAS
Safety is a large part of BE 6. It employs a cutting-edge Level 2+ ADAS system with five radars and twelve ultrasonic sensors that are programmed to address India’s challenging road requirements. The system features such as animal detection, barricade detection, lane change assist, smart pilot assist, and over 20 advanced safety functions.
The BE 6 also received a 5-star Bharat-NCAP rating with a high score in adult and child safety. Mahindra employs a high-strength vehicle structure with superior NVH performance, which results in a quiet and secure cabin.
Power And Range
BE 6 features a 210 kW electric motor with an official 0 to 100 km/h sprint time of 6.7 seconds. Even braking is confident, decelerating from 100 to 0 in a mere 40 meters. Intelligent adaptive suspension smooths out the ride and remains stable, adjusting in milliseconds.
Range is a key feature. The 79 kWh battery is rated at 683 km, and in real-world usage, it far exceeds 500 km with AC on. They also have a 59 kWh pack rated at 557 km. Flexible drive modes assist the user with switching between maximum efficiency or exhilarating performance.
Some Next-Level Technology With MAIA
Mahindra’s MAIA system drives everything from voice commands to AR-enabled head-up displays. Powered by Qualcomm’s 8295 chip, MAIA performs complex tasks in milliseconds, providing a seamless and responsive experience for the entire cabin.
Special touches such as Driver Occupant Monitoring, in-car video calling, photograph albums, and ambient lighting that can be personalized make the BE 6 seem cutting-edge. AutoPark handles parking for you, and the AR HUD displays important information directly onto the windscreen, like science fiction technology.
The BE 6 even comes with a complete set of 69 apps for music, video, shopping, gaming and more, providing you with a connected experience without solely using your smartphone.
