Mahindra BE 6: A Deep Dive into Variants and Why the Pack Three Select Shines

Mahindra’s BE 6, part of its born-electric "BE" sub-brand, has electrified India’s automotive market with its futuristic design, cutting-edge technology, and competitive pricing. Built on the INGLO platform co-developed with Volkswagen, this coupe-style SUV offers five variants—Pack One, Pack One Above, Pack Two, Pack Three Select, and Pack Three—catering to diverse buyer needs. While each variant has its merits, the Pack Three Select emerges as the best balance of premium features, performance, and value. Let’s explore why.

Variant Breakdown: Features and Pricing

Here’s how the main features of BE 6 variants stack up:

Variant	Price (ex-showroom)	Battery	Key Features
Pack One	₹18.90 lakh	59 kWh	Dual 12.3-inch screens, 4-speaker sound system, 6 airbags, LED lighting, Rear Camera.
Pack One Above	₹20.50 lakh	59 kWh	Fixed Infinity Glass Roof, Front wireless charging, Individual TPMS display, Dual Automatic Temperature Control, Auto Dimming IRVM.
Pack Two	₹21.90 lakh	59 kWh	16-speaker Harman Kardon audio, Level 2 ADAS, Rear AC vents, Adaptive Cruise Control, Front parking sensors.
Pack Three Select	₹24.50 lakh	59 kWh	7 Airbags, 360-Degree Camera, Auto Folding ORVM, Power Adjustable Driver Seat, Ventilated Front Seats, Gesture Control etc.
Pack Three	₹26.90 lakh	79 kWh	Larger battery, ambient lighting, faster acceleration (0–100 km/h in 6.7s), Level 2+ ADAS and all Pack Three Select features.

Why the Pack Three Select Stands Out

1. Premium Features at a Mid-Tier Price 
   The Pack Three Select bridges the gap between affordability and luxury. It retains the 59 kWh battery (535 km range) but adds exclusive features like the 16-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, panoramic sunroof with UV protection, and Level 2 ADAS, ventilated front row seats, gesture control. These features are identical to the top-tier Pack Three but at a ₹2.4 lakh discount, making it ideal for buyers prioritizing tech over maximum range. It also provides basic features like auto folding ORVMs not available in the lower priced variants.
2. Safety First 
   With 7 airbags, a 360-degree camera, electronic parking brake, and Bharat NCAP 5-star safety rating, the Pack Three Select offers unmatched protection 29. Lower variants have fewer airbags and only a rear camera.
3. Luxury Interiors 
   The cabin features dual-zone climate control, ambient lighting with customizable themes (Calm, Cozy, Club), and a fighter jet-inspired drive mode selector. The panoramic sunroof and augmented reality HUD further elevate the experience.
4. Future-Proof Charging 
   While the 59 kWh battery charges 20–80% in 20 minutes via a 140 kW DC fast charger, the Pack Three Select also supports 11 kW AC home charging (0–100% in 6 hours).
5. Delivery Advantage 
   Deliveries for the Pack Three Select begin in June 2025, earlier than the base variants (August 2025).

Pack Three Select vs. Top-Tier Pack Three

The Pack Three (₹26.90 lakh) offers the 79 kWh battery (682 km range) and marginally faster acceleration. However, the Pack Three Select delivers 90% of its luxury and tech at a lower price. Unless long-range travel is a daily necessity, the Pack Three Select’s ₹2.4 lakh savings make it the smarter choice.

Competitive Edge

The BE 6 Pack Three Select outshines rivals like the Tata Curvv EV (₹17.5–22 lakh) and MG ZS EV (₹24.99 lakh) with its superior feature list, safety suite, and futuristic design. Its closest competitor, the Hyundai Creta Electric (₹24.38 lakh), lacks ADAS and premium audio.

Conclusion

The Mahindra BE 6 Pack Three Select is the goldilocks variant—neither too basic nor overly expensive. It combines luxury, safety, and tech at a compelling price, making it the best choice for urban EV enthusiasts. With Mahindra’s lifetime battery warranty and aggressive financing options like the “Three for Me” EMI scheme, this variant is poised to redefine India’s electric SUV segment.
