Mahindra is stepping up its EV game, and the upcoming Mahindra BE.6 is a major part of that push. With its futuristic design and long-range promises, the BE.6 has attracted serious attention from electric vehicle enthusiasts. But how does it perform in real-world driving conditions? Let’s break it down.
🔋 Claimed vs Real-World Range
The Mahindra BE.6 Pack Three comes with a 79 kWh battery and boasts an ARAI-certified range of 682 km. However, as we all know, real-world conditions differ from lab settings.
- City Efficiency: In tough stop-and-go traffic at 40°C ambient temperatures, the BE.6 delivered 5.55 km/kWh, translating to an impressive 439 km range in city driving.
- Highway Efficiency: On open roads, it achieved 5.81 km/kWh, pushing the highway range to around 459 km.
- Combined Range: The average efficiency of 5.68 km/kWh results in a real-world range of 449 km, which is more than adequate for daily commutes and long trips alike.
đźš— What Helps the BE.6 Perform So Well?
- Sleek Aerodynamics: Mahindra has focused on improving the BE.6’s airflow design.
- Low Rolling Resistance Tyres: These improve efficiency and handling.
- Optimized Battery Pack: Built for Indian driving conditions and climate.
⚡ Verdict
While the official figure of 682 km is great for marketing, the real-world 449 km range is what truly matters—and it’s impressive. Mahindra is showing it can play hard in the EV space, combining solid performance, practical range, and stylish design.
