The Mahindra BE 6 Sporteq is a tech-focused special edition electric SUV set to launch in India on August 15, 2026. Expected to be priced between ₹24.00 Lakh and ₹29.00 Lakh, it brings major interior upgrades over the standard model. The biggest change is a new triple-screen dashboard setup and a premium black and brown cabin. It retains the standard BE 6's rear-wheel-drive powertrain, offering 59 kWh and 79 kWh battery options that deliver an impressive range of up to 683 km on a single charge.
What is the BE 6 Sporteq?
The Sporteq is not a completely new car, but a premium, technology-focused variant of the recently launched Mahindra BE 6.
While the standard BE 6 was already known for its concept-car styling and strong performance, the Sporteq variant aims to elevate the cabin experience. Mahindra has designed this variant for buyers who want flagship-level infotainment and interior luxury without stepping up to the larger XEV 9e or XEV 9S models.
Key Upgrades Over the Standard BE 6
If you are trying to decide between the standard BE 6 and the new Sporteq edition, the differences are primarily inside the cabin.
1. The Triple-Screen Dashboard
The standard BE 6 features a dual 12.3-inch screen setup (one for the driver, one for infotainment). The Sporteq adds a third 12.3-inch display specifically for the front passenger. This continuous glass panel stretches across the dashboard, providing dedicated entertainment and controls for the co-driver, a feature borrowed from Mahindra's more expensive EV models.
2. Redesigned Center Console
To accommodate the cleaner aesthetic, Mahindra has removed the prominent central spine that divided the driver and passenger zones in the standard BE 6. This gives the front cabin a much more open and spacious feel.
3. Premium Color Theme
The Sporteq replaces the standard black and grey interior with a richer black and tan (brown) upholstery. It also introduces softer-touch materials across the dashboard and door panels, complemented by red ambient lighting for a sportier vibe.
4. Exterior Styling
While the body shell remains the same, teasers confirm the Sporteq will be offered in a unique matte grey/black exterior paint shade, instantly distinguishing it from standard variants.

Battery, Performance, and Range
The BE 6 Sporteq retains the robust mechanical underpinnings of the standard model. It is built on Mahindra's INGLO electric platform and features a rear-wheel-drive (RWD) setup.
You have two battery pack options to choose from:
| Specification | 59 kWh Battery | 79 kWh Battery |
| Power | 231 PS (228 bhp) | 286 PS (282 bhp) |
| Torque | 380 Nm | 380 Nm |
| 0-100 kmph | 6.7 seconds | 6.7 seconds |
| Claimed Range (MIDC) | Up to 548 km | Up to 683 km |
| Real-World Range Est. | ~400 km | ~500 km |
Both setups support fast DC charging, allowing you to charge from 20% to 80% in roughly 20 minutes using a 140 kW charger.
Expected Price and Competitors
The standard Mahindra BE 6 starts at ₹18.90 Lakh (ex-showroom). Because the Sporteq sits near the top of the lineup with its advanced screens and premium interiors, it carries a premium.
Expected Launch Date: August 15, 2026
Expected Price Range: ₹24.00 Lakh to ₹29.00 Lakh (ex-showroom)
At this price point, the BE 6 Sporteq enters a highly competitive segment. It will directly rival:
Tata Sierra EV (Expected around ₹18.79 Lakh onwards)
Tata Harrier EV (Expected around ₹21.69 Lakh onwards)
Hyundai Creta Electric (Expected around ₹14.53 Lakh onwards)
MG ZS EV
VinFast VF7
Final Takeaway
If you are in the market for a high-performance electric SUV and value cutting-edge cabin technology, the Mahindra BE 6 Sporteq is worth waiting for. The addition of the passenger screen and the removal of the central spine addresses the main complaint some buyers had about the standard BE 6's cramped-feeling front cabin. However, if you are strictly focused on driving dynamics and range, the mid-tier standard BE 6 variants still offer the exact same performance for less money.
