Mahindra BE 6 Sporteq exterior
The BE 6 Sporteq carries over the outgoing BE 6’s exterior design. The key change is a ‘Sporteq’ badge and the introduction of the Launch Edition, which gets an exclusive Graphite Storm exterior paint finish. Depending on the variant, the SUV is available with 19-inch alloy wheels, LED lighting, customisable LED tail-lamp text displays, flush-fitting door handles and a fixed panoramic glass roof.
Mahindra BE 6 Sporteq interior and features
The biggest changes are inside the cabin. Higher variants now get a triple 12.3-inch display layout, similar to the XEV 9e and XEV 9S. It also gets a redesigned dashboard that replaces the earlier halo-like loop around the driver with a cleaner horizontal layout, creating additional storage space and improving access to the wireless charging pad and USB Type-C ports. The Launch Edition is further distinguished by an exclusive Full Racing Tan interior theme featuring matching upholstery and dashboard trim. The Formula E Edition, meanwhile, continues with the earlier dual-screen dashboard layout.
The BE 6 Sporteq introduces six new TEQ technology suites centred around connectivity, personalisation and vehicle functions. These include TEQ_Me, which automatically recognises the driver and loads a personalised user profile, TEQ_Talk with Google Gemini integration, and TEQ_xting, which allows owners to display personalised messages on the LED tailgate display. TEQ_Drive adds functions such as Custom Drive Mode, Tribe Drive, Drift Mode, Acceleration Boost and the new Revive SOS feature. Mahindra says Revive SOS can provide enough charge to drive up to 13km to the nearest charging station after the battery reaches zero and can be used up to five times during the battery’s lifetime. The company has also confirmed that Google Gemini integration will be rolled out to existing Mahindra electric SUVs via an over-the-air update from January 2027.
Apart from these additions, the BE 6 Sporteq continues to offer features such as a panoramic glass roof, a Harman Kardon audio system with Dolby Atmos, ventilated front seats, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 540-degree camera, a head-up display, Level 2 ADAS, connected car technology, auto park assist, NFC digital key and wireless phone charging, depending on the variant.
