Mahindra BE 6 : Mahindra’s e-vehicle revolution is on the march, and first in line: the automobile of the future, the Mahindra BE 6. Promoted as one of the most radical and promising models in the automaker’s Born Electric (BE) portfolio, the BE 6 stands out thanks to its coupe-styled SUV body, feature loaded cabin, and at its heart, an all-new INGLO platform sourced from Mahindra.
It’s a proposition that does more than just underscore Mahindra’s move towards sustainable mobility, instead it is an indication of a serious attempt to contest the rapidly expanding premium electric SUV space in India.
Here’s the lowdown on the BE 6 – from how it looks and what to expect from it to where it might shine and where it could fall short.
Mahindra BE 6 Show Stopping Futuristic Looks
BE 6: A high-flying statement At first glance, the BE 6 is a showstopper. Nothing like told by Mahindra, it has a sporty, edgy coupe-SUV stance with a sloping roofline, sharp character lines and a futuristic taillamp design with C-shaped LED elements which are hard to overlook.
The acrylic grille mounted to the front of the car is classic EV fare, while strong shoulder lines and an aggressive rear stance make this car look muscular yet aerodynamic.
Front doors close to reveal flush-fitting door handles, and across the rear runs a light bar for a premium touch. What Mahindra is, obviously, chasing here is a younger, urban crowd — and boy, does the BE 6 get the visual drama right.
Built on the INGLO Platform
Mahindra BE6 will feature the INGLO platform (a flexible, skateboard-like EV architecture that is being co-developed with Volkswagen’s MEB platform). This will eventually serve as the base for several upcoming Mahindra EVs and can support varied motor layouts, wheelbase options and battery pack capacities.
Performance-wise, nothing has been confirmed officially as of yet, but reports snapped when the BE 6 was tested say the car is going to be made available with both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive, which is not a surprising move for a neo-sedan like it.
It is anticipated to be equipped with 60-80 kWh battery packs for a real-world driving range of 450-500 km based on version.
It should offer a brisk pace to acceleration, and the AWD version would probably leap from 0-100 km/h in less than 6 seconsd… putting it in the realm of EVs with a performance edge.
Cabin: Tech-Heavy and Spartan
Get inside the BE 6, and your senses are flooded by a clean, minimalist environment that is decidedly contemporary. That means we’ll see two integrated screens for the instrument cluster and infotainment system, a head-up display, touch-sensitive controls, and sustainable interior materials — all smushed together into one design-forward package.
The BE 6 will probably be equipped with the following features:
ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems)
Apple CarPlay & Android Auto Wireless
5G and OTA Software Updates
Voice commands and intelligent climate operations
Ambient lighting, a panoramic sunroof and the ventilated seats
The flat floor design (credit goes to the EV architecture) allows plenty of space inside, particularly for those in the rear seats. But the coupe roofline may cut out some headroom for taller folks.
Charge Fast & Drive With Confidence
BE 6 will also have charging tech as one of its strong points. Mahindra has also confirmed the ability to fast charge the vehicle at a rate in excess of 175 kW, ensuring a charging time of 80% in less than 30 minutes.
That’s a win for long-distance drivers and highway commuters. Furthermore, regenerative braking and various drive modes should also improve efficiency and customization.
Launch Date Expected Price range
The Mahindra BE 6 is set to be launched in late 2025 or early 2026, and is expected to cost between ₹25 lakh and ₹30 lakh (ex-showroom). That would push it more toward being a premium product aimed at both early adopters of electric vehicles and style-conscious buyers who are seeking more from their car than practicality.
Pros:
Radical future design, with coupe SUV format
Anticipated long (450–500 km) and rapid acceleration
Fast charging up to 175 kW
Packed with smart tech and ADAS tech
Flat-floor, roomy interior with INGLO architecture
Future-Proof electric electric platform that’s sustainable
Cons:
Launch more than a year off still
Performance real-world as yet untried
Lack of enough space at the rear could result from the coupe design
Mahindra is still in the process of building out its EV service and charging network
Speculated steep prices could scare off potential value seekers
Mahindra BE 6 Verdict: The EV with Personality and Promise
The Mahindra BE 6 isn’t looking to sneak in through the back door of the EV market — it’s pitched as a powerful entrance. With its futuristic look, futuristic platform and tech-heavy features, it is set to offer a great bundle of style, performance and sustainability.
If Mahindra can live up to its performance, range and service promises, the BE 6 could prove to be a game changer in the premium electric category.
It’s electric, it’s audacious — and it’s almost here. Keep your eyes on this one.
