[🇮🇳] Mahindra's game changer BE6 and XE9 EVs. Changing the dynamics of automobiles.

[Bilal9]

The design of the BE6 was supposedly penned at Pininfarina S.p.A. in Italy.

However the design was in some ways pilfered from the US market Subaru Solterra (the rear especially), which I find to be better and more "integrated" as a design than the Mahindra.

The front (prow) design was stolen from the 2024 Chevy Blazer - but still looks 'incomplete'.

At what price will it be available to customer? If that's not affordable than we don't have much use of that.

Mahindra BE 6E Electric only SUV, price starts at ₹19 Lakh in India, which has roughly 550 KM range.

The Subaru Solterra (Also Electric only) has not yet been officially launched in India, and there is no official price information available. However, based on its price in other markets, one can estimate that the Solterra Touring will start at around ₹40 lakh (ex-showroom) in India.

The Chevy Blazer is not available in India period.

19 lakh with such massive features and power seems a very attractive pricing more than anything else in market at present.

Do they plan a version with an ICE option ?

I doubt the BE6 will come with a hybrid (with ICE) option. The cost will go up and the vehicle market in India is extremely cost sensitive.

I meant just a regular ICE version, not hybrid.

Still not sure about Evs here, I know many who do own them and are happy with them.. they just not for me.

Those who want em should go right ahead, just don't phase out regular fuel based ones.

Long term plan is probably to phase out all regular smaller displacement gas ones, including 4 wheelers.. and ICE only for the really high end ones.. will suck if they get it done.
