Mahindra has officially entered a new era of electric mobility. For years, car enthusiasts have been waiting for the "Born Electric" (BE) series, and the first major contender is the Mahindra BE.6e (previously known during the concept stage as the BE.05 or BE.06).

Unlike the XUV400, which was adapted from a petrol car, the BE.6e is built from the ground up on the new INGLO platform. But does the interior match the aggressive exterior? Let’s dive into the cabin and technology to see if this is truly Mahindra’s most futuristic vehicle yet.

1. The "Cockpit" Design Concept

The first thing you notice when you open the door is that it does not look like a standard SUV. Mahindra calls this a driver-centric cockpit.

• The Central Spine: A distinct divider runs through the center console, separating the driver from the front passenger. This gives the driver a feeling of sitting in a fighter jet or a race car.
• Steering Wheel: It features a futuristic two-spoke design with a flat bottom and top. The highlight is the illuminated BE logo (the infinity symbol) right in the center, which lights up when the car is turned on.

2. The Dual-Screen Setup

In modern EVs, screens are everything. The BE.6e features a massive dual-screen layout that sits on top of the dashboard.

• Twin 12.3-inch Displays: There are two large screens joined together under a single panel. One serves as the digital instrument cluster (showing speed, range, and navigation), and the other is the infotainment touchscreen.
• Adrenox OS: The system runs on Mahindra’s latest Adrenox software. It is designed to be smooth, responsive, and visually rich with high-definition graphics.

3. Futuristic Tech Features

Mahindra has packed this SUV with technology that makes it feel like a gadget on wheels.

• Glass Roof: The cabin feels airy thanks to a massive fixed glass panoramic roof. While it doesn't open like a sunroof, it provides a great view of the sky and keeps the interior bright.
• Ambient Lighting: To enhance the sci-fi vibe, there is customizable ambient lighting that runs across the dashboard and doors, allowing you to change the mood of the cabin.
• Gear Lever: The drive selector is unique. It looks like an aircraft throttle, reinforcing the "pilot" experience for the driver.

4. Comfort and Materials

While the design is sporty, is it comfortable?

• Seats: The seats are bucket-style, offering good support during fast driving. They are upholstered in premium eco-friendly materials, moving away from traditional leather to support sustainability.
• Space: Thanks to the dedicated EV platform (INGLO), the floor is flat. This means more legroom for rear passengers compared to traditional petrol SUVs.

5. Safety and ADAS

A futuristic car needs futuristic safety. The BE.6e is equipped with Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems).

• Key Features: This includes automated emergency braking, lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and driver drowsiness detection.
• Camera System: It also features a 360-degree camera system to help park this sharp-edged SUV in tight city spots.

The Verdict

So, to answer the question: Is this the company's most futuristic EV?

Yes, absolutely. The Mahindra BE.6e is a massive leap forward. It does not feel like a traditional Mahindra SUV; it feels like a concept car that you can actually buy. With its fighter-jet cockpit, twin screens, and sharp design language, it sets a new benchmark for Indian electric vehicles.

If you are looking for a car that turns heads and makes you feel like you are driving in the year 2030, the BE.6e is a top contender.
