Mahindra BE 6: Mahindra has been steadily building towards electrification, and its new Born Electric (BE) series is set to shake up the Indian EV space.
Be Mahindra BE The most written about model of this group of futuristic vehicles, the Mahindra BE. 06 – an eye-popping SUV-coupe which brings bold design, cutting edge technology and clean mobility together in one.
Scheduled to be launched in 2025, the BE. 06 is set to be underpinned by Mahindra’s INGLO EV platform, which it has worked on with Volkswagen’s MEB architecture.
This car is not for people of an advanced age group; in fact, Mahindra is aiming it towards younger, more tech-savvy customers who seek the holy trinity — style, sustainability and performance — without making a single compromise.
Space-Aged Styling That Gets Attention
If there’s one thing that strikes you the moment that you first hold the BE. 06 apart, it’s the design. Not like Mahindra’s classic, burly SUVs such as the Thar or Scorpio, that BE. 06 is a sleeker looking coupe-SUV with a futuristic profile to it.
The sharp lighting, aggressive aero, wide stance, and tidy body panels all scream concept garage.
The front receives C-shaped LED DRLs, grille with closed-off thanks to muscular bonnet and sculpted bonnet, the rear gets a sloping roofline and a LED light bar running across the width of the car.
Each line and curve appears to have a reason behind it, hinting the BE. 06’s aerodynamic efficiency and upmarket intent.
Interior and Technology
Inside, the BE. 06 should provide a fully digital and no-frills interior.
Although Mahindra has yet to release final production-based features, it’s been confirmed that the car will get a dual-screen setup – something that is commonly seen in luxury EVs – which feature one screen for the digital instrument cluster and the other for infotainment.
Is expected to include:
5G-enabled large touchscreen infotainment system
Speech recognition and over-the-air (OTA) updates
Advanced ambient lighting and digital displays that can be tailored to your exact specifications
Vegan leather covered surfaces and eco-friendly materials
Areas that could be improved Panoramic sunroof and wireless charging
ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems)
The INGLO platform’s flat floor should mean the cabin is spacious with plenty of headroom and leg room.
Its rivals are also probably storage solutions and boot size that are in the lead for its segment.
Performance and Battery
The BE. 06 Are you Ready? 06 should come in RWD and Dual Motor AWD configurations.
Official figures have not been released so far by Mahindra, however, reports claim output ranging from 170–300 bhp.
Battery capacities should go from 60 kWh to 80 kWh, good for a 450–500 km driving range on a single charge.
The SUV is to be fitted with ultra-fast DC charging (for example, 0–80% charge in less than 30 minutes using a 175 kW fast charger).
Ride and Handling
With a rear-mounted battery and a floor-mounted battery position, it sits on the dedicated EV platform, the BE. 06 is tuned to deliver a comfortable ride and solid road-holding performance.
With independent suspension on all four wheels you will experience a ride on city streets and the highway that is simply unparalleled.
