Is the Mahindra BE 6 a good option for a big and tall driver?

A high cabin floor, raked A-pillars and a low roof height makes getting inside the Mahindra BE 6 a bit of a challenge.

Mahindra BE 6 front door getting in and out

I'm looking for a daily driver, preferably an EV, to replace my 2010 Toyota Fortuner AT. Since I'm 6-feet tall and 120kg, I need something that is spacious and comfortable, particularly the driver's seat – I regularly drive over 100km in a single day. I really like the Mahindra BE 6, what is your opinion?

Autocar India says: Despite the Mahindra BE 6's exterior dimensions, it isn't a very spacious car, and even the front seats are narrow, so it might not be an ideal choice for someone of your height or build. The XEV 9e on the other hand, is more spacious, and is a relatively more comfortable option. It also fares well in terms of performance, range and features, and its pricing isn't too far off than a BE 6. Since you haven't mentioned your budget, ICE options, for similar money as the BE 6, are the Mahindra XUV700 and Toyota Innova Hycross/Maruti Invicto, also seem to meet your requirements.
