Mahindra BE 6 Sporteq exterior
On the outside, the Sporteq retains the BE 6’s coupe-SUV styling, including the LED lighting, sharp body creases, flush-fitting door handles and 20-inch alloy wheels. The primary changes on the Sporteq launch edition are a ‘Sporteq’ badge and a new Graphite Storm paint shade.
Mahindra BE 6 Sporteq interior and features
The biggest changes are inside the cabin. The Sporteq replaces the standard dual-screen setup with three 12.3-inch displays, similar to the layout seen on the XEV 9e and XEV9s. It also gets a redesigned dashboard that replaces the earlier halo-like loop around the driver with a cleaner horizontal layout.
The new dashboard improves access to the wireless charging pad and USB Type-C ports, while also creating additional storage space. The Sporteq also introduces a black-and-tan cabin theme, with revised upholstery and dashboard trim.
The BE 6 SportEQ builds on the regular BE 6’s equipment list while adding a number of new connected and software-based features. Mahindra has introduced six new “TEQ” technology suites, bringing features centred around personalisation, connectivity and vehicle functions.
New additions include TEQ_Me, which automatically recognises the driver and loads a personalised user profile, TEQ_Talk with Google Gemini integration, and TEQ_xting, which allows owners to display personalised messages on the rear tailgate display.
The SUV also gets TEQ_Drive, which adds features such as a custom drive mode, Tribe Drive, Drift Mode, Acceleration Boost and the new Revive SOS function. Mahindra says Revive SOS can provide enough energy to drive up to 13km to the nearest charging station after the battery reaches zero percent. The feature can be used up to five times over the battery’s lifetime.
Apart from these Sporteq-specific updates, the SUV continues to offer features such as a panoramic glass roof, Harman Kardon audio system, ventilated front seats, dual-zone climate control, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, connected car technology, a 360-degree camera, ADAS and multiple drive modes.
Mahindra BE 6 Sporteq powertrain
The BE 6 Sporteq continues with Mahindra’s existing electric powertrain. It is offered with 59kWh and 79kWh battery packs paired with a rear-mounted electric motor producing up to 286hp and 380Nm. The larger battery pack delivers a claimed MIDC range of up to 682km.
Charging options and performance figures remain unchanged from the standard BE 6.
