Exterior
Outwardly, the BE 6 Formula E Edition appears t be a lot sportier compared to the standard variant. The car comes with a completely new signature front bumper that has projector headlamps with a gloss-black bezel. The SUV also has four exclusive color options: Everest white, Firestorm orange, Tango Red, and Stealth Black. Race-inspired R20 alloy wheels with a dark tint finish and Firestorm Orange brake callipers, which are also bright, further confirm the sporty character. The new boot-lip spoiler, roof spoiler, and dark liquid metal paint updated cladding give the rear a more aggressive profile. The 12-stripe graphics on the bonnet and fixed glass roof, Formula E decals, FIA branding, and ceramic “Mahindra Formula E” markings contribute to a unique visual drama that differentiates this edition from the rest.
Interior
The Formula E motif comes through in the cabin with an eye-catching Firestorm Orange color treatment. The dashboard, door trims, steering wheel, electronic parking brake, wireless charging dock, seat belts, and in-touch controller have all been given bold orange highlights. Mahindra has incorporated race car-like features such as a unique start/stop button with a flap cover, a Firestorm Orange FIA x Formula E edition plaque, customized Formula E startup animations, and even Formula E-inspired exterior sound signatures. The seats are adorned with exclusive Formula E logos, and the translucent door trims not only illuminate the cabin but also contribute to the overall premium experience, hence making this one of the most conspicuously distinct interiors in Mahindra’s EV range.
Performance
The 79 kWh battery pack which is used in the standard model, and the front-axle-mounted electric motor that produces 282 bhp and 380 Nm of torque, is the one that powers the BE 6 Formula E Edition. The combination of this setup provides the electric SUV with the capability to cover the distance of 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.7 seconds, thereafter it reaches a maximum speed of 202 km/h. The company Mahindra makes a bold statement regarding the vehicle’s battery life claiming it is capable of travelling up to 500 km in real-world conditions on a single charge which instantly qualifies it as a car that suits not only the daily commuting but also long-distance travelling purposes. The FE 2 variant comes with the complete equipment of the Pack 2 variant of the standard BE 6, while the FE 3 version is loaded with additional features like intelligent adaptive suspension, sporty 20-inch alloy wheels, and exclusive night-trail carpet lamps for enhancing the road presence and technology.
