Mahindra BE 6e spied testing on road for first time

The Mahindra BE 6e has been spied testing while being road tested on Indian tarmac. The video surfaced on the Reddit social media platform and displayed a real-life preview of the coupe SUV. It can be seen sporting flush door handles, a split spoiler and a connected LED lighting setup at the front and rear of the electric vehicle. The spied Mahindra 6e also offers sharp, angular styling and a slanting coupe-style roof at the back of the car. The hood gets a big cavity (or vent) centrally placed, which could be for better aerodynamics but this speculation is not confirmed yet. The rear door handles are placed near the C-pillar similar to what's seen on the Tata Punch and the Chevrolet Beat models. There are turn indicators on the ORVMs.
