Mahindra BE 6e – Read about all positives & negatives about BE 6E electric vehicle.
Mahindra BE 6e Positives
- Powerful Electric Motors with 282 BHP to the rear wheels (0-100 km/h in 6.8 seconds)!
- 79 kWh battery pack should comfortably offer 450 – 500 km real-world range. This is enough even for road-tripping with the family
- Lifetime warranty on the battery is a big assurance for EV owners
- 455-litre boot and the 45-litre frunk are good enough for family holiday luggage
- Fully 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 more
- Safety 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 Negatives
- Uncomfortable 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 suspension
- Rearward visibility is poor, as is the case with most Coupe-SUVs
- Some 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-free
- This car is extremely complex – we have concerns over niggles & bugs in a freshly baked Mahindra, especially the early batches
- Missing 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 controls.
