The Mahindra BE 6 is an electric subcompact crossover coupe SUV produced by Mahindra & Mahindra. Based on the INGLO electric vehicle platform, the vehicle was introduced in 2024, along with the XEV 9e, and is one of the first models in Mahindra’s new electric SUV lineup.
History Mahindra initially unveiled the BE 6 as BE 6e, but on 6 December 2024 there was a trademark dispute between IndiGo and Mahindra for the suffix "6E", which is IndiGo's IATA code, used in the car name. Mahindra then renamed the car from BE 6e to BE 6.

Discovery with production limited to 999 units, all of which were sold out in 135 seconds after bookings opened. Deliveries began on International Batman Day. Mahindra again came up with 999 units of Batman Edition in March, 2026 at Rs 28.49 lakh (ex-showroom), which was reserved in just 7 minutes after booking opened.
Mahindra launched the BE 6 Formula E Edition (FE2) on 27 November 2025, claiming it to be world’s first Formula E-themed special-edition SUV, with a starting price of Rs.23.69 lakh.
