Mahindra has just fired up India’s electric SUV segment with the launch of the BE 6 Formula E Edition, priced at ₹23.69 lakh (ex-showroom). Built as a tribute to Mahindra Racing’s legacy in the global Formula E championship, this special edition brings race-inspired design, improved dynamics, and — most importantly — a stronger powertrain under the hood.
Unlike the standard BE 6, which comes with 59kWh and 79kWh battery pack options, the Formula E Edition gets the bigger 79kWh pack as standard, giving it better performance and significantly more range.
A More Powerful Heart: BE 6 Formula E Edition Powertrain
Mahindra didn’t hold back when tuning this special edition. Instead of offering two battery choices, the Formula E Edition goes all-in on the higher-capacity pack.
BE 6 Formula E Edition — Powertrain Specs
| Feature | Specification |
|---|---|
| Battery Size | 79kWh |
| Drive Layout | Rear-wheel drive |
| Power Output | 285 PS |
| Torque | 380 Nm |
| Claimed Range | Up to 682 km |
| DC Fast Charging | Up to 180 kW |
This makes the Formula E Edition not only the most performance-oriented variant in the BE 6 lineup, but also one of the longest-range EVs currently offered by an Indian manufacturer.
What the Bigger Battery Means in Real Life
Choosing the 79kWh pack delivers a significant leap in both usability and performance:
- Quicker acceleration thanks to the higher 285 PS output
- Better long-drive comfort with its 682km claimed range
- Stronger regenerative braking tuned with motorsport learnings
- Faster top-up times with 180kW DC charging capability
For buyers who want performance without sacrificing range anxiety, this setup hits the sweet spot.
Motorsport DNA You Can Feel
Mahindra has leaned heavily into its Formula E identity, and the BE 6 Formula E Edition proudly reflects that:
- Exclusive Formula E-inspired exterior elements
- Aggressive bumpers, aero blades, and red highlights
- Sport-centric interior with contrast stitching
- Special branding across the cabin and bodywork
It’s not just an EV — it’s Mahindra’s attempt to bring its international racing credibility to Indian roads.
A Future-Focused EV for India’s Sportiest Drivers
With its bold design, future-ready tech, massive range, and the motorsport-inspired 79kWh performance setup, the BE 6 Formula E Edition is easily one of Mahindra’s most exciting EV launches yet. And at ₹23.69 lakh, it’s competitively positioned to shake up the mid-size electric SUV segment.
If this is Mahindra warming up for its Born Electric future, the competition should be nervous.
