For buyers regularly covering long distances on the highways, the 79 kWh version will likely be the more attractive option. Mahindra has also equipped the SUV with 175 kW DC fast charging capability, allowing a 20-80 percent top-up in approximately 20 minutes under ideal conditions.

3. Performance and dynamics

The BE 6 is a fun-to-drive electric car with sprint time of 0-100 kmph in just 6.7 seconds and a top speed of 200 kmph. There is 288 bhp of power and 380 Nm of torque on offer promising an exciting drive.

The SUV employs a rear-wheel-drive layout underpinned by a semi-active suspension setup, which is relatively uncommon in this segment. The top-spec 79 kWh variant can sprint from 0-100 km/h in 6.7 seconds, making it properly quick by midsize SUV standards. Its 207 mm ground clearance also makes it better suited to our difficult roads without sacrificing the distinctively sporty stance.
