3-screen cockpit: Mahindra launches BE 6 SPORTEQ
On August 15, Mahindra & Mahindra unveiled the BE 6 SPORTEQ, an electric SUV featuring a three-screen, coast-to-coast cockpit and advanced AI technology. Priced starting at Rs 11.45 lakh under Battery as a Service (BaaS), the vehicle will begin deliveries on August 26, 2026. The SPORTEQ series offers eight variants, including the top-tier Launch Edition and performance-oriented Formula E Freedom Edition.
A key highlight of the BE 6 SPORTEQ is its three-screen digital cockpit, available from the TWO variant onwards. This innovative design provides a unified view of vehicle information, entertainment, and digital functions. Customers who prefer the original BE 6's cockpit can choose the Formula E Freedom Edition, which includes two screens and a signature halo design.
The SPORTEQ comes in 12 exterior colors, including four new options: Rosso Impulso, Ruby Velvet, Graphite Storm, and Firestorm Orange Satin. The vehicle is equipped with six MAIA-powered technology suites, including TEQ_Talk, which utilizes Google Gemini to function as a conversational companion. Other suites include TEQ_Play for in-car entertainment (featuring karaoke, gaming, and Dolby support), TEQ_Drive for performance features like Drift Mode and Acceleration Boost, TEQ_Secure for enhanced security, and TEQ_Me for personalization.
The BE 6 SPORTEQ also supports Digital Car Key functionality across multiple device ecosystems, making it the first Indian automotive OEM to offer this feature. Additionally, the vehicle introduces new personalization features such as user profiles, tailgate messages, and the ability to create personalized tailgate messages through the TEQ_Me and TEQ_xting suites.
Mahindra plans to roll out these innovative features to existing Mahindra EV models, such as the BE 6, XEV 9e, and XEV 9S, through over-the-air software updates starting in January 2027. The company emphasizes that the BE 6 SPORTEQ's design focuses on creating an immersive and progressive experience, celebrating technology while maintaining an emotional connection with the driver.
