Mahindra has brought a fresh dose of motorsport excitement to its electric lineup with the launch of the BE 6 Formula E Edition in India. Inspired by the brand’s journey from rally racing to becoming the country’s only team to win on the global Formula E stage, this special edition brings a racing-inspired identity to the road. With performance-focused styling and a feature-rich cabin, the Formula E Edition highlights Mahindra’s attempt to blend real-world practicality with the thrill of competitive electric racing.
A Design That Reflects Mahindra’s Formula E Legacy
The Formula E Edition of the BE 6 stands out instantly with a look that feels directly lifted from a championship paddock. The front bumper has been redesigned with a new signature style, housing circular projector headlamps set inside gloss black bezels. Touches of Firestorm Orange around the bumper give the SUV a sharp and energetic character.
Mahindra has added plenty of aerodynamic elements across the exterior. A sporty rear boot lip spoiler pairs with a roof spoiler to give the BE 6 a more streamlined profile. Branding also plays a big role in the Formula E Edition. You’ll notice “Mahindra Formula E” ceramic lettering on the windshield, official FIA logos, and several uniquely positioned Formula E-themed decals running across the panels, roof, and even the carpet lamps.
The fixed glass roof and bonnet receive a set of 12-stripe graphics, while the doors, fenders, and bonnet wear aggressive race-inspired patterns. Details like liquid-metal finished cladding, skid plates, and special rear badging complete the look, making this version of the BE 6 feel like a road-legal celebration of Mahindra’s racing spirit.
Interior Designed for Motorsport Enthusiasts
Step inside and the Formula E personality becomes even stronger. The cabin uses a bold Firestorm Orange theme that appears on the dashboard, seats, belts, and even smaller accents around the steering wheel and controls. Mahindra has included a dedicated FIA X Formula E plaque to highlight the limited-edition identity, while the dashboard and seat upholstery feature embossed race logos.
The interior also gets translucent door inserts and dynamic speakers designed to amplify the futuristic feel of the SUV. A wireless charging pad, a motorsport-inspired start/stop flap, custom startup animation, and exterior engine sound simulation add to the immersive experience. Overall, the cabin aims to offer a blend of tech-forward comfort with subtle nods to Formula E’s high-adrenaline environment.
Safety and Driver Assistance Features
Mahindra has equipped the Formula E Edition with several safety and assistance technologies. A 360-degree camera and blind spot monitor improve visibility, while six airbags and a high-stiffness bodyshell enhance overall protection. Braking performance is handled by all-wheel disc brakes paired with advanced brake-by-wire technology and an intelligent electronic brake booster.
For driver convenience, the SUV offers drowsiness detection, an electronic parking brake, and both front and rear parking sensors. The tyre pressure monitoring system not only warns about pressure loss but also shows individual tyre data, helping drivers maintain optimal control and efficiency at all times.
High-Performance Electric Motor and Long Driving Range
At the heart of the BE 6 Formula E Edition is a powerful electric motor that produces 282 bhp (210 kW). This allows the SUV to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.7 seconds, giving it a spirited performance that aligns well with its racing-inspired appearance. The top speed stands at 202 km/h, making it one of the quicker electric SUVs in its class.
Powering the motor is a 79 kWh battery pack, capable of delivering around 500 km of real-world driving range. This makes the Formula E Edition suitable not only for performance enthusiasts but also for long-distance EV users who want range confidence without sacrificing speed.
