Mahindra BE 6e: Interior
The BE 6e’s cabin stands out with its modern and futuristic design, setting it apart from typical Mahindra SUVs or other offerings in its segment.
The layout is rather futuristic with a cockpit-like space for the driver, defined by the floating panel above the central console.It gets a sporty two-spoke octagonal steering wheel which includes a sleek black glass panel with integrated toggle controls for ADAS and other functions, along with an illuminated BE logo at the center.
Mahindra BE 6e battery, range and charging
The Mahindra BE 6e will be offered with two battery packs – a 59kWh unit and a 79kWh unit - with an LFP (Lithium iron phosphate) chemistry. It is underpinned by Mahindra’s scalable and modular born-EV INGLO platform which employs BYD’s blade cell technology, and uses what the brand calls a ‘compact three-in-one powertrain’ made up of a motor, an inverter and the transmission.
The BE 6e will be offered in two states of tune – the 59kWh battery-equipped variants produce 228hp, while the 79kWh battery-equipped variants produce 281hp; torque is rated at 380Nm for both variants.
At launch, the BE 6e is only available in rear-wheel drive guise, although an AWD version could be on cards for the future. Mahindra is claiming a 0-100kph sprint time of 6.7 seconds for the higher-spec variant of the BE 6e. The car offers three drive modes – Range, Everyday and Race.
The larger battery pack has an ARAI claimed range of 682km, or a WLTP range of 550km. Mahindra is also providing lifetime warranty on the battery pack and claims that using a 175kW DC fast charger, the batteries can charge from 20 percent to 80 percent in just 20 minutes.
As standard, however, the company will be providing either a 11.2kW AC charger or a 7.3kWh charger on a chargeable basis. Other technical highlights of the BE 6e include regenerative braking, electric power steering with variable gear ratios, semi-active suspension system, brake-by-wire technology and all four disc brakes.
Mahindra will commence deliveries for the BE 6e from late February or early March 2025. Stay tuned for booking details and full price list.
