Mahindra BE 06 eSUV

Overview

The Mahindra BE 06 is a premium, coupe-style electric SUV built on the new INGLO platform. Launched in March 2025, it offers two battery options (59 kWh & 79 kWh), up to 683 km range, 282 bhp power, and a driver-focused cockpit with AR HUD—priced from ₹18.90 lakh.

Introduction

Mahindra has officially entered the premium electric SUV segment with the launch of the BE 06 eSUV on March 22, 2025. This is Mahindra’s first born-electric vehicle developed on its advanced INGLO skateboard platform, designed exclusively for EVs. Unlike converted petrol SUVs, the BE 06 is engineered from the ground up for performance, efficiency, and futuristic tech.

What makes the BE 06 stand out? It’s not just another SUV—it’s a coupe-style eSUV with a driver-centric cockpit, fighter-jet-inspired controls, augmented reality head-up display (AR HUD), and ultra-fast charging that adds 60% range in just 20 minutes. With two battery packs, 5-star Bharat NCAP safety, and a bold design, the BE 06 aims to redefine what an Indian EV can be.

Interior Features & Comfort

The BE 06’s cabin is unlike any other Indian EV—designed entirely around the driver:

  • Three-screen setup: 10.25-inch digital cluster + 13.5-inch infotainment + AR HUD
  • Aircraft-style gear selector and top-mounted fighter-jet toggles for key functions
  • Dual-tone seats with leatherette base and fabric upper (50% recycled material)
  • Ventilated front seats and memory function for driver
  • Two wireless chargers, 65W Type-C ports (front + rear), and cooled storage under armrest
  • 16-speaker premium audio system with subwoofer
  • Multi-color ambient lighting with wave, glow, and static modes—even on the roof
  • Fixed panoramic glass roof (non-opening but bright and airy)

Despite its sporty look, the rear seat is surprisingly spacious—comfortable for two adults up to 6 feet tall. Build quality is excellent, with soft-touch materials, minimal squeaks, and a quiet, insulated cabin.
