Mahindra BE 6 vs XEV 9E: Choosing between the two!

[@Jassimran_Singh]

I want to buy the 6 but I am confused. My requirements suggest I should go in for the 9 but my heart says 6. To add to the confusion I already have a New Fortuner and an Innova crysta. Also our regular driver car nowadays is hyryder hybrid. We are a family of 6. We want this car to be a workhorse even if it means that all the other cars remain parked.

[@MotorScribes]

The 6 is the better product in my books, but unfortunately it isn’t a 6 seater. Having said that, you do have a few family cars in your garage for those days, why not get a fun EV for the rest of your running around. I’d say go for the BE6… you’ll have a blast!

[@Jassimran_Singh]

@ Thank you for the suggestion.

[@eriktenhag2022]

You'll basically have the same powertrain as the 9, in the 6. But the 9 is heavier, so the performance is more muted. You already have a large SUV so the interior space criteria is already checked as far as your garage is concerned, why not go for the be6 then?

[@Reddylion]

Both fine but be 6, pack three best for me.

[@MotorScribes]

Yup! It’s a hot looking e SUV!

[@alanmathew6346]

When can we expect the pricing for all the variants?....also when do bookings commence?

[@MotorScribes]

Will know all this and more on Jan 7-8th

[@adarshpolagoni3299]

How does the be6 compare to Creta in terms of backseat comfort? rate out of 10 points..

[@MotorScribes]

Creta - 8 BE6-5

[@Scottamadore]

What about xev 9e?​@@MotorScribes

[@rhushikeshmore502]

How? As BE6 doesn't has inbetween Hump ​@@MotorScribes

[@Cribzy5]

Are the minor niggles in fit and finish a deal breaker? Or are they par for the course?

[@MotorScribes]

They are par for the course. What we got to drive are pre production models…going to check these machines out again on Kan 7-8th..will have more content and details out then :)

[@mangeshchoudhary5061]

What is safety ratings?

[@MotorScribes]

5 star

[@ruchinmalhotra]

I want to buy 9e but looks of 6e is sporty , please suggest which one I should for ?I have a height of 6’2 and I need big leg and head room

[@MotorScribes]

If you need a lot of space, go with the 9E. If you want the sportiness, go with the 6E.

[@drravikumarsh3720]

Is it worth upgrade from creta2016 model to 9ev?

[@rhushikeshmore502]

Pls compare and rate with Creta EV upcoming

[@MotorScribes]

It is a worthy upgrade, but moving to an EV as your primary car also depends on your usage and driving requirements. Make sure you evaluate that as well :)

[@MotorScribes]

Will do!

[@Sai-y1p3u]

Waiting period for BE 6?

[@MotorScribes]

Good question. Will know more on 7-8th at Mahindra tech day..so stay tuned for updates!

[@jos031arx]

I was thimking 9e, but i am scared of white seat. Adding confusing what will happen if change seat material will it affect warrant

[@MotorScribes]

I hear you! The white seats are beautiful but can be a bit high-maintenance. You can opt for seat covers, but changing the seats entirely would affect warranty as they have a lot built into them and tampering with the seats would be tampering with the electrical system which voids the warranty. I’m sure mahindra will have other colour options as well.. like how they have decided to offer Mocha interiors for the Roxx…

[@jos031arx]

@@MotorScribes instead of changing the seat, i was thinking to ask to remove the pu leather and stick genuine leather of black, this does not have change in electricals right?

[@MotorScribes]

The seats have inbuilt airbags...that is what is the issue with changing the pu leather.

[@sanjayghodke9441]

Does someone know? When XEV 7E is coming???

[@MotorScribes]

No word on that yet

[@sanjayghodke9441]

Consider the base model of be6,, which costs under 21 on road,,, do you think they are providing something other brands will fail to do under 30??? Or it is just unnecessary hype ???

[@MotorScribes]

It’s a good question and to answer this, I’m going to wait for all the details on variants to be announced on Jan 7. Then it will be easier to compare…

[@AJAZHAMEED-x9c]

Now that you have driven both the cars how comfortable is it to get in BE 6 someone with your height

[@MotorScribes]

Front- no trouble. Rear seat, a little bit of a duck and then I was in…

[@udayk19]

BE6 Head Room space is low is a draw back and passenger back seat leg space also a draw back

[@MotorScribes]

Not really. I’m 6ft 2 and headroom wasn’t a problem in the front at all… in the rear, it is a little less, but still my head didn’t touch..unlike the Tata Curvv where I couldn’t fit in the back. BE 6 legroom is also ok..and not bad at all for people shorter than 6ft in height.

[@drsethumadhav]

Is it better to wait for facelift or just go for it?😅

[@MotorScribes]

These are brand new. Facelift is like 4 years away :)

[@drsethumadhav]

@MotorScribes thank you for clarifying my doubt

[@karan.0034]

Also, i am so inclined towards be 6. The only thing which is pulling me back is lack of passenger focus on be 6. Damn that missing cup holder for my wife to keep her coffee mug 💔. Also the divider in between 😅

[@MotorScribes]

I get that - it would be nice to have a few more creature comforts for the passengers. Yes, that divider is a ‘romance’ killer 😆 …but it is a fun vehicle to drive and it looks stunning! Keep it as a secondary machine…for those fun drives!

[@jhawerfamily8196]

Showroom launch date

[@MotorScribes]

We will know in a few days :)

[@karan.0034]

I would be taking the risk of making one of these as my primary vehicle and my old trusted jetta 2.0 tdi would rest in the garage as a back up vehicle

[@MotorScribes]

I’d keep the BE6 as my secondary machine - maybe daily commuter in the city and fun drives on weekends, but for family I’d use the Jetta.

[@karan.0034]

@@MotorScribes will your answer be the same if i replace be 6 with xev 9e as my primary vehicle?

[@MotorScribes]

I would be. The reason I don't say make it your primary vehicle is because of charging infrastructure and nothing else. In the city, if you have a home charger, you are sorted to use it every day, but for long trips, EVs require way more planning - figuring out charging stations and where you will break to charge. for about 90 percent of your usage, an EV can be your primary choice, but it is those emergency days that you have to be better planned for. ICE vehicles require less as the infrastructure is already in place.

[@mr.kaboom1112]

BE 6 looks better i think

[@MotorScribes]

It does :)

[@VivaChad-ci8dl]

In looks... I like 9e ❤

[@centuraxaum5951]

AI will definitely summarize the shi t out this video into a one liner.

[@MotorScribes]

AI can do a lot, but I doubt it’ll make it a one liner. 2 paragraphs at best, but then you’d miss out on a video, some other insights and you’d have to live with the cliff notes…
