Why it stands out
- Three battery tiers, 59, 70 and 79 kWh, fill the price gap the outgoing lineup left wide open
- Segment-first software: a Google Gemini voice assistant, in-car karaoke and gaming, and a real drift mode
- Triple 12.3-inch screen cockpit standard from the TWO variant up
- 180 kW fast charging takes the 79 kWh pack from 20 to 80 percent in 20 minutes
Worth knowing
- Entry-level ONE variant keeps the older dual-screen layout, not the new triple-screen cockpit
- Existing BE 6e owners only get these features via OTA update starting January 2027, and Mahindra has not confirmed which features reach which older variants
- No official 0 to 100 km/h time or safety rating published for the standard lineup at launch, only for the Formula E Freedom Edition
