Mahindra’s dramatic BE 6 EV under investigation for South Africa
Should approval be given, chances are that the BE 6 will only arrive on local in 2027.
Mahindra's electric vehicle, the BE 6, is currently under investigation for potential release in South Africa. The compact, coupe-styled crossover SUV was introduced two years ago as the company's first electric offering. It utilizes an EV platform called INGLO, which also powers the XUV 9 E and XEV 9S models. The BE 6 boasts a unique design and offers various trim levels, including the Sporteq, which features Google Gemini's Teq_Suites software and up to six displays.
The vehicle's dimensions include a length of 4,371mm, wheelbase of 2,775mm, height of 1,627mm, and width of 1,907mm. The BE 6 offers nearly 700km of range, with three battery options (59-kWh, 70-kWh, and 79-kWh) and varying power outputs, ranging from 170kW to 210kW. The vehicle's price in South Africa starts at Rs 1,945,000 (approximately R326,564 without taxes), but it has not been officially approved for the local market.
The BE 6's safety and driver assistance features include multiple airbags, camera systems, and advanced driver assistance systems.
