Can someone please pitch in regarding the below questions:

As mentioned on the Mahindra website, the top spec pack three variant can be opted with 59kWh pack as well. Is anyone aware of the pricing for this and if it falls below the Karnataka 10% road tax threshold of 25L?

Is the pack three select variant VFM as compared to pack three? and please share if anyone has tentative delivery timelines for pack three select.

Ex Showroom price of BE 6 Pack 3 Select is 24.5 lakh.

Seems to be below the Road Tax threshold for now.

The price is 24.5 lakhs for pack 3 select. But it isn’t the same as pack 3 with smaller battery. It lacks a few features. It lacks:

1. HUD

2. Radar sensors and L2+ ADAS

3. ~50bhp less power and charges slower.

4. There’s some lighting difference too I think. Not sure.

Yes you’ll escape the tax but it’s a much worse vehicle. Even for 5 lakh price difference the big battery and motor isn’t bad and you get ADAS extra too.

IMO pack 3 select isn’t that VFM. You lose a lot. If you’re looking for value I think pack 1 and pack 1 above are the ones to look for.

I’m aware of the pricing of Pack Three Select, I am referring to the FAQ section of the Mahindra BE6 page wherein they have mentioned that the top spec pack three is available with 59kWh as well. I wanted to know if anyone has enquired regarding this and if it fits under the 25L bracket: this variant will have all the features, only difference being the lower power and smaller battery pack. Range might not see a massive drop considering lower BHP output. For most people 221 BHP and 380nm is plenty! Even the 59kWh pack is much more than what the ZS EV, Creta EV, Nexon, and Curvv offer. If this fits under 25L somehow it makes more sense for Bangalore buyers

This unfortunately does not exist. It’s just as bad as not having pack 1&2 with 79kw battery. Perhaps in the future but not now.

Be 6 and XEV 9E will only become good products somewhere around mid-2026. No other carmaker apart from Tesla has such a weird way to launch a product.

I'd say Mahindra has even overdone with the staggered release. I love the hp, and torque figure, the well-thought interiors and that exterior.

But if people are always facing issue, and I am spending 30L on a car, won't I feel cheated?

I remember that my i20 N line stopped once on the road after a year of use, and I felt so bad that it's still a new car and Hyundai stopped.

But it was a fuel pump issue which was diagnosed in 90 minutes from my car stopping, and the replacement was done in <3 hours. My car was given to me in 4 hours with complimentary cleaning.

Even if that made me feel bad, I just feel that seeing gaps, niggles and issues with a 30L car will always hurt me.

I really root for Tata and Mahindra but the R&D is just not there yet, and QC process as well.

I'd definitely suggest to check out the Creta Electric even though it's not as feature packed but Hyundai's QC is quite rigorous plus they have global EV lines so prior product knowledge is top notch too.

Thanks for suggesting the Creta EV. Before finalizing the BE 6, I’d definitely take a TD of it.
I cannot stand having quality issues and this is why I’ve eliminated Tata EV’s from my list after a lot of debate. I believe Mahindra is doing a better job of QC but yes we have still heard of certain niggles. Hyundai as you mentioned is miles ahead in this department.

Even the ZS EV and upcoming e Vitara are well within consideration.

Mate what’s wrong? Every 2-3 days you talk about Creta Electric on this thread. I’ve seen at least 5-6 messages from you in last couple weeks alone.

I know you’re happy with your Creta EV but why is there a need to talk about it every few days on BE6 owners thread

I’m not gonna bash on Creta electric here because it serves no purpose. But if you’re not interested in this car and are just going to praise Creta electric on this thread every few days, may I ask you to refrain from it. Imagine how would Creta owners feel if someone posted ‘Creta is a poorly built car, please consider BE6’ on Creta owners thread every few days

I don’t really see any BE6 owners talking on the Creta Electric thread.

It's the same way you keep bashing lower range variants, and other cars as well. I'd encourage that we stick to just adding our views here rather than singling out one person.

I don't have a Creta EV or a Be 6. I am in the market "mate". And following the discussions here.

Also, please note that there are moderators here who are managing the forum and there is free speech. Please refrain from personally coming after strangers.

I just stated objectively about what variant is better VFM in my opinion. Never bashed lower variants. In fact I just said that pack 1 and pack 1 select are the best value variants above, which are the lowest variants.

Sorry if that offended you. But keep in mind you just did the same. Cheers!

I am having car with me for more then 2 weeks and so far i have not found any serious issue with car. Everything works fine. Only issue for me is missing CarPlay that i am used to. Range is between 6-7 km/kWh which is pretty good and should translate to 500+km. Small minor issues like Secure 360 and unnecessary warning on tyre pressure. Car draws a lot of attention and i guess this will continue until this become a common car in few months

I actually myself am a buyer lurking here in the forum. I've had arguments with my closest friends where I staunchly back Mahindra EVs, but they are also right.

I feel if everything just worked as Mahindra shared during the launch, it's really hard to beat the MM Twins. But part of ownership isn't just the cost upfront but it's On-road price + maintenance + yearly services + mishaps

I don't want to feel sad buying any car for that matter.

If there was no issues with the MM twins then here's my car rank

1 - XEV 9E, 2 - BE 6, 3 - Atto 3, 4- Creta EV and finally 5 - ZS

My heart says MM but my mind says do proper research and consider heavily the post sales experience. These cars will sit in your garage for atleast 5 years.

Who in their right mind would want to pay 25 for a Creta Electric ( I get that point of yours, trust me I do)?

I mean 8 speakers vs 16 speakers

59kw vs 50kw - Similar range expectation for pack 3 select

Better soft touch and great looking interior vs retrofitted ICE converted EV interiors

An insanely terrific on-road presence vs oh look another Creta


My heart is always there for MMs but I have also owned well made mass cars like Polo, i20, and then obviously grew up with reliable Marutis at home

That's why the whole mind vs heart thing comes out. That's why I said give these cars a year and they'll not have any issues. New Mahindras take time to mature.

It’s not just that. It’s the safest car in the country (BE6 and XEV9E have highest adult and child safety score in BNCAP) vs a cheaped out structure of a Creta which has time and time again failed safety testing. It’s dealing with minor software niggles vs risking your life.

I’m a current Hyundai customer with my i10 nios, my dad has a government provided creta for his official duties. I know all the goodies Hyundai provides and it is stress free indeed.

But I and my wife fill with dread before every road trip. I can’t in good conscience drive above 80kmph in my ‘unstable body shell’ car.

Mahindra usually only has software niggles which they will sort out over the next few months. Safety on the other hand I’m stuck with for next 10 years.

Agreed. That's why I am just waiting for Diwali or so to choose the right one. Hopefully the Carens EV is out as well by that time.

If they are facelifting the Carens to Syros standards than I also think the safety rating would be on par. Plus I always feel that Kia does interiors very well compared to Hyundai.

I hate that Hyundai is now a complacent brand. They let KIA test the waters and adopt what they feel worked in their cars.

Also fingers crossed by Diwali Mahindra would be much easier to live with.
