While the set of features and design differ between the XEV 9e and the BE 6e, the powertrain remains the same between the two. The Mahindra INGLO architecture supports two different battery pack options, which are 59 kWh and 79 kWh units. These lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery packs. Just like the XEV 9e, the BE 6e will also be available with the 59 kWh battery pack initially. Mahindra claims that the BE 6e can charge from 20 per cent to 80 per cent in just 20 minutes using a 175 kW DC fast charger. While the range for the 59 kWh battery pack is not yet revealed, the 79 kWh battery pack is claimed to provide 682 km of range as tested by ARAI.
The smaller battery pack is rated to produce 228 bhp while the larger 79 kWh battery pack versions produce 278 bhp. The torque output remains the same across both the battery pack options at 380 Nm.
While the complete price list of the Mahindra BE 6e has not been revealed yet, the base model, which is termed as the ‘Pack One’ trim level starts at ₹18.90 lakh, ex-showroom. Apart from this trim level, Mahindra has confirmed that the XEV 9e will get two more trim levels, namely ‘Pack Two’ and ‘Pack Three’. Prices of these trim levels will be revealed at a later stage.
