Every Car Enthusiast Should Test-Drive The Mahindra BE 6E, Even If They Do Not Buy It!
Even if you are a die-hard petrol-diesel engine fan, you should check out the BE 6E. Even if you have no plans of buying it!
The Mahindra BE 6e has burst onto the electric vehicle scene, turning heads and challenging preconceptions about what an Indian-made EV can be. Even if you’re not in the market for a new car, here’s why every automotive enthusiast should make it a point to get behind the wheel of this groundbreaking electric SUV.
Primary reason to test drive – The Explosive Acceleration and Power
The BE 6E is a serious performance machine. Note that we, in India, consider the 150 bhp Volkswagen Virtus GT a performance car. The BE 6E has 286 PS of power, with the higher battery pack. And with 380 Nm of instant torque, it can sprint from 0-100 km/h in just 6.7 seconds, making it the fastest accelerating production car from an Indian manufacturer. Every traffic signal might feel like a race track to you! (No, be very careful. No one wants accidents. Don’t surprise unsuspecting pedestrians and other drivers)
That acceleration has to be experienced. All your love for petrols and diesels might go out the window, when you feel that power surging forward. Even if it does not, and you still prefer petrols and diesels, the experience is worth having, for its own sake.
The three driving modes – Range, Everyday, and Race – allow you to tailor the driving experience from efficient cruising to exhilarating performance.
Design – Heads will turn, for the next 2 years!
The Mahindra BE 6E has a design that demands attention. You just cannot ignore the design. It looks like a concept car. Something fresh from a car designer’s dream. EVERYBODY WILL LOOK! You will not be able to avoid the attention when you test drive this car.
From the moment you lay eyes on the BE 6e, it’s clear this is no ordinary vehicle. Its aggressive styling and bold curves draw comparisons to luxury SUVs like the Lamborghini Urus. The all-black fascia, C-shaped LED DRLs, and muscular side profile create a futuristic aesthetic that looks like it drove straight out of a sci-fi movie. For design enthusiasts, the BE 6e represents a bold new direction in Indian automotive styling.
Other reasons
Cutting-Edge Technology
The BE 6E is packed with features that tech enthusiasts will love exploring. The dual 12.3-inch screens and floating head-up display create a futuristic cockpit experience. The 16-speaker Harman Kardon sound system with Dolby Atmos immerses you in audiophile-quality sound2. Perhaps most intriguing is the MAIA AI system, which enables features like in-car Zoom calls and a selfie camera with filters.
A New Benchmark in Ride and Handling
Mahindra’s engineers have achieved an impressive balance of ride comfort and dynamic handling. The low center of gravity from the battery pack, combined with semi-adaptive dampers and a variable gear ratio steering system, results in exceptional stability and cornering ability. Even at high speeds, the BE 6e feels planted and confidence-inspiring. Ride’s busy though, and you will feel some amount of stiffness at lower speeds. Well, that’s normal because suspension tunes are always compromises – between sharp handling and comfort.
Experience the Future of EVs
With its impressive 682 km ARAI-rated range (for the 79 kWh variant) and fast-charging capability, the BE 6e showcases the rapid advancements in EV technology2. By test driving this vehicle, enthusiasts can gain firsthand experience with the latest developments in electric powertrains, battery technology, and charging systems.
Even if you’re someone skeptical about electric cars, the BE 6e will change your mind. It’s that revolutionary a car. The Mahindra BE 6e represents a significant leap forward for the Indian automotive industry. Its combination of striking design, impressive performance, advanced technology, and refined driving dynamics makes it a must-drive for any car enthusiast.
Even if you’re not in the market for an EV, experiencing the BE 6e firsthand will give you valuable insight into the future of automobiles and the rapidly evolving capabilities of electric vehicles. So, take the opportunity to get behind the wheel – you might just be surprised by how much this Indian-made EV impresses.
