Mahindra BE 6e (now BE 6) Review: A global EV made in India

[@yogeshvele]

Saw atleast 10 review videos but yours is at top of the chart. Thank you for crystal clear insights sir . 😊

[@MotorScribes]

Thanks a ton! Means a lot!

[@SuryaAshte]

Considering the climate change factor, I wish Mahindra makes an EV which can travel both on land and water in the future. 😃👍

[@arjunkhanna206]

I wish, you get a brain 🧠 also in the future

[@MotorScribes]

I will be sure to let Mahindra know 😉

[@ashishpanjwani1899]

@IndKumu 30% by renewable is good start

[@arnab1410]

@@arjunkhanna206 I mean hovercrafts exist. Mahindra can expand their car business into making hovercrafts as well. :D

[@Reddylion]

Great ev, regular OTA updates a must . waiting for great pricing for top spec.

[@MotorScribes]

Yes! We are all waiting to hear what the top spec is priced at

[@mahatmagaand]

[@abishek_logbase]

Nice crisp review as always! If we leave out the space, in real life which one looks better in exterior and interior... the BE 6 or XEV 9e?

[@MotorScribes]

Thank you! According to me the BE 6 is the better machine

[@MPatelCreations123]

Sir kya base and top model me same kw ka motor power hai....😊

[@MotorScribes]

Nahi..base mein hoga 59kW and top mein 79kW

[@syedsarfarazhussain0707]

Sir your voice & expansion it's fabulous....I like your style & body language.... Like a perfect gentlemen.....

[@MotorScribes]

Thank you for those compliments:)

[@johnsongrandage8302]

Any updates about number of variants, just two ? , base model and top end or anything in btwn. Other than two battery configurations. Thanks in advance

[@MotorScribes]

All that information will be out on Jan 07, 2025. This was a soft launch… variants and pricing of the 79kWh battery versions is yet to be announced.

[@nandagirirajesh3638]

Ohkk i was under impression that it's 79kwh at 18.9 lak...waiting for the car to be booked soon​@@MotorScribes

[@MPatelCreations123]

Sir please motor power in kw kya hai.... Jaise curve me 123 kw Ka motor power hai

[@MotorScribes]

KW is a measure of power - kilowatt. You can always go online and convert kw to PS or bhp.

[@MPatelCreations123]

@MotorScribes thanks a lot sir it's helpful

[@ashiqshajoos378]

Any update on booking date ? I Heared jan... any specific date announced?

[@sohandesai818]

Mahindra is doing a media drive of it's new EV manufacturing facility on 7th-8th January. Maybe that's when they share more updates.

[@MotorScribes]

We will know more after the Mahindra Tech Day on Jan 7-8.

[@lalchandrupreja5828]

I’m 6.2 tall.how comfortable will b my driving position and head room…will it b difficult

[@MotorScribes]

You’ll have enough space :) I’m 6”2 and didn’t face any challenges at all!

[@vamshikrishna5862]

I wish they offered gesture control for boot and AWD too.

[@MotorScribes]

That would have been very nice

[@manish7512]

gesture to open boot is present, and AWD will come in future.

[@jsvigneshwaran]

Nice explanation Vikram ! This EV is awesome and with stuffed features. To own this mighty EV car 1st we need to develop our infrastructure. Hotels and Residence in NH and SH across India should have atleast 5 EV ports for charging.

[@MotorScribes]

Yes, absolutely! We need to develop the charging infrastructure before widespread EV adoption is possible.

[@jsvigneshwaran]

@@MotorScribes Vikram, Do you have any idea what action was taken my Mahindra, TATA and other EV companies to develop the infrastructure ? Came to know that TATA power and Reliance power have a joint venture to develop this EV infrastructure across India. Is it true ?

[@byonce3254]

​@@jsvigneshwaran ya bro if it's true I'm down to buy but if I were to go interstate travels how I'll charge unlike petrol and cngs

[@MotorScribes]

Infrastructure is growing at a rapid pace. Not just car manufacturers but companies like ZEON, VIA, Tata Power are all expanding their networks

[@deepusundar75]

Which color is best for 6e? is black better than all other colors?

[@MotorScribes]

I personally liked the black and the champagne colour (which I reviewed).

[@deepusundar75]

@@MotorScribes Thank you!

[@gauravdarade1855]

Ventilation of seats?

[@MotorScribes]

Yes on top variants

[@manoranjanm1384]

Is the Shock observer not that good? In the video it looks shaky.

[@MotorScribes]

The suspension is very good…

[@agustriwiyono975]

will mahindra revise the thigh support of the backseat as per your suggestion? it would be shame if this excellent product has a drawback that could have been easily rectified. Moreover seats are vital for passenger comfort.

[@MotorScribes]

It's one of those things that we'll see as the car evolves.

Do this have sun roof?

[@MotorScribes]

Nope, just a panoramic glass roof

[@byonce3254]

Everything is fine but charging pump station should be more than petrol station otherwise if i wanna go at inter state wont i be worried about charge. Plus light music navigation smart camera all will take from single battery

[@MotorScribes]

Yeah…some gimmicks are best used only for flexing in front of your friends and not regularly. Charging stations will have to have a much better network before we can switch to using EVs the way we use ICE vehicles

[@consequentialisthuman]

Does this car has V2L facility?

[@MotorScribes]

I believe it does. But I will have to confirm…

[@SASM27]

How tall are you? I'm 6'4 and I'm actually considering this beautiful machine. Would you say it could be an deal breaker for me?

[@krunaldesai4438]

First they must learn to deliver booked cars on time. Disgusting behaviour to customers who trust mahindra cars. It's been 3 months n I haven't got my 3XO. Even worse is their communication. No official mails, msg or even simple WhatsApp.

[@MotorScribes]

Agreed! This back log of booking on all their products is a little shameful and doesn’t go down well with customers.

[@vikkinal1874]

Literally the other day we had been to the showroom to have a look at 700, they made to wait nearly to 20mins and the sales executive was bit tipsy haha. I didn't understand anything what he was saying. Mahindra work on it the way you are working on your Cars

[@MotorScribes]

yes, sales and service is an issue that plagues the whole auto industry. Mahindra has rapidly been moving from a mass audience to an enthusiast audience, and their service does require more effort. I have faced some funny issues with sales and service people at the Mahindra showroom too...one guy just showed me the car and stood there silently. I told him that the car won't explain itself!

[@hemantwadhavankar8964]

Audio quality is not good

[@MotorScribes]

Thank you for your feedback

[@mahatmagaand]

Please tell us the real world range with a proper range test. Account for Extra passengers Climate control Heatwave and cold wave days Headwind Rainy day traction Highway Bad roads Driving style Battery degradation (est. 3 years) I am guessing real world range to be 390 kms

[@MotorScribes]

Hopefully soon! This was just a drive and first impression review at the Mahindra testing facility. A real world drive is what I’m looking forward to as well!

[@moate2547]

be sexy, nice name for a car!

They tried..Indigo took them to court..so now it’s BE 6…

[@varunkapur5640]

The should have named it BE SXI

[@MotorScribes]

you know..that is a good one!

[@Mrkas09]

rear view digital mirror is a big miss by Mahindra

[@MotorScribes]

I’m sure that is something they can upgrade and introduce quite easily. Good suggestion though.

[@ajithkumarn5955]

Computer on wheels 😊

[@MotorScribes]

All cars today have so much of electronics on board that they’d qualify as computers on wheels 🫡

[@ishantsharma1658]

Car is excellent but not acceptable for indian market due to charging pumps only in big cities

[@MotorScribes]

Charging infrastructure is a big question. In cities it isn’t as bad, but I get your point and agree…it is something that needs to be addressed

[@karan.0034]

Knowing mahindra, they will make 79 kw a little out of reach to people who will have a budget for tata curvv, what do you think?

[@MotorScribes]

It will be more costly for sure, but the lower version is still better than a Curvv…even if you compare specs.

[@robinccc]

Too bad that all cars in India need to have their butts so high up the road that they looks obnoxious.

[@MotorScribes]

It’s the whole coupe SUV design language. I’m not a very big fan personally, but customers seem to love it!
