Mahindra BE 6e ProsLooks like something that’s straight out of the future. Has a very unique design inside out. Surely a head-turnerPowerful motor sends 282 BHP to the rear wheels (0-100 km/h in 6.8 seconds)!Low centre of gravity, stiff suspension and connected steering offer a great handling package79 kWh battery pack should comfortably offer 450 – 500 km real-world range. This is enough even for road-tripping with the familyLifetime warranty on the battery is a big assurance for EV owners455-litre boot and the 45-litre frunk are good enough for family holiday luggageFully loaded with a bunch of unique features like interactive rear LED strip, augmented reality integrated head-up display, infinity roof with interactive lights, 16-speaker Harman Kardon system with Dolby Atmos, selfie camera, UV filtration glass, auto-park with remote car control and many moreSafety features include Level 2+ ADAS, 7 airbags, fatigue alert system, all-wheel disc brakes, ESP, front parking sensors, 360-degree camera, hill hold, hill descent, TPMS, etc.Mahindra BE 6e ConsUncomfortable rear seat experience. High floor, difficult ingress and egress and limited headroom (due to the sloping roofline)Stiff suspension setup means you feel the bad roads. Ride is liveable, but not for someone looking for a comfortable suspensionConcept car-like styling may not be to everyone’s liking. Will surely divide opinionsRearward visibility is poor, as is the case with most Coupe-SUVsSome cabin plastics don’t feel premium in an otherwise loaded SUV. Excessive piano black in the cabin isn’t to my tastes and makes it very difficult to keep scratch-freeThis car is extremely complex – we have concerns over niggles & bugs in a freshly baked Mahindra, especially the early batchesMahindra’s after-sales service is a hit or miss. Remains a gamble. Wondering how many of them will be able to handle such a complicated car tooMissing features like a full-size spare tyre (you get a skinny 135 mm space saver which will cap your cruising speed to 80 km/h), cooled glovebox, rear sunshade and no physical buttons for HVAC controlsRead Team-BHP’s detailed 2024 Mahindra BE 6e Reviewhere.
