Mahindra BE 6 news

With these results, all electric offerings by Mahindra, including the XEV 9e and XUV400 EV have scored a 5-star safety rating from Bharat NCAP

Phase one of the test drives has begun, with phases two and three to follow soon

Out of the entire range of new cars set to be showcased by the three carmakers, only two are ICE-powered models, while other are EVs, including the XEV 9e and Cyberster

Currently, the SUV maker offers the top-end variants of both EVs with just the larger 79 kWh battery pack, which won’t be the case

While both electric SUVs are packed with features, the BE 6 boasts more powerful electric motor options and offers premium features that are missing in the Ioniq 5, all at a lower price

Prices of the BE 6 range between Rs 18.90 lakh and Rs 26.90 lakh, while the XEV 9e is priced from Rs 21.90 lakh to Rs 30.50 lakh (ex-showroom pan-India)

The electric SUV will be available in three broad variants: Pack One, Pack Two and Pack Three

The power figures of the Creta Electric were also revealed alongside the interior, which is 171 PS for the 51.4 kWh option and 135 PS for the 42 kWh battery pack option

The Hyundai Creta Electric, like most of its rivals, comes with two battery pack options and a maximum claimed range of up to 473 km

The BE 6 has not only created a segment of its own, but has challenged the industry with its outrageous design

Mahindra, while contesting the brand rights in court, has decided to rename the BE 6e to BE 6 and will continue to contest Indigo to secure the BE 6e name

Both EVs were introduced this year and promise a lot of features and tech inside. But which of these have the better base variant on offer?

The main highlight of the previous week was the launch of two new Mahindra EVs, along with the confirmed debut date of the upcoming Kia SUV

Both EVs come with two battery pack options mated to a fairly potent electric motor, but which one is better? We find out

The list includes quite a few luxury car features which have now been introduced with the XEV 9e and BE 6e
