Mahindra BE 6 SPORTEQ Expands EV Appeal With New Technology
Mahindra has introduced a refreshed electric SUV called the BE 6 SPORTEQ.
The company says this new version will become the main BE 6 series.
It offers different cabin designs, including versions with two or three screens.
Some models have a special Racing Tan interior.
Drivers can also use Google Gemini to talk to the car more naturally.
A feature called Texting lets owners show personalised messages on the rear of the vehicle.
Mahindra is offering a Battery-as-a-Service plan that lowers the vehicle’s starting price but adds a per-kilometre battery charge.
The company says it has sold more than 80,000 electric vehicles.
Mahindra did not confirm whether the BE 6 is ready for future V2X technology.
Mahindra Electric launched the BE 6 SPORTEQ range on August 15, 2026.
The SPORTEQ series will become the standard BE 6 line-up going forward.
Prices start at Rs 19.45 lakh, or Rs 11.45 lakh through BaaS plus Rs 3.75 per kilometre.
Mahindra says it has sold more than 80,000 electric vehicles and recorded 77 per cent quarter-on-quarter growth.
New features include triple screens, Google Gemini integration, customisable tailgate messages and additional interior options.
