The Mahindra BE 6 is an upcoming electric SUV coupe from Mahindra's Born Electric (BE) range, highlighting their ambitious entry into the electric vehicle (EV) market. Designed with a futuristic aesthetic and cutting-edge technology, the BE 6e stands out for its advanced features and robust performance. Initially it was named Mahindra BE 6E but later it was changed to Mahindra BE 6.
Name Changed Reason.
Mahindra initially named its model "BE 6E," but Indigo Airlines sued, claiming ownership of the "6E" trademark. To resolve the issue, Mahindra removed the "E" and renamed it "BE 6," avoiding further disputes while maintaining the model's identity.
Mahindra BE 6 Owner and Teams
The Mahindra BE 6 project is led by Mahindra’s Born Electric (BE) division, part of their electric vehicle initiative. The team includes key individuals such as Anish Shah (CEO & MD, Mahindra Group) and Rajesh Jejurikar (Executive Director, Auto & Farm Sectors). Designed at the Mahindra Advanced Design Europe (MADE) studio under the leadership of Pratap Bose (Chief Design Officer), the BE 6e reflects Mahindra’s vision for advanced electric mobility.
