Expert Verdict

Built from the ground up, featuring massive BYD-sourced battery packs, the BE 6 SPORTEQ offers blistering performance, immense range, and a level of equipment unlike anything else. Yes, its outlandishness makes it more of an illogical indulgence, and as a complex flagship, it does miss a bit of final polish.

Expert Verdict

The Kia Carens Clavis EV is a groundbreaking addition to the Indian EV market, which finally bridges the gap between a family-focused MPV and a high-tech, feature-rich electric vehicle. It takes the proven practicality of the Kia Carens nameplate and refines the driving experience further with an all-electric powertrain, all while the running and maintenance costs are kept in check.

Pros & Cons

Mahindra BE 6 SPORTEQKia Carens Clavis EV

What's good

Undeniably a head-turner
Exhilarating performance
Sharp, engaging dynamics.
Highly practical real-world range with 79 kWh battery

Huge Space: It is one of the few electric cars where the third row is actually comfortable for adults.
Safety Features: Having Level 2 ADAS and 6 airbags makes it a great choice for families.
- - Cool Tech: Features like ventilated seats and the Bose sound system make it feel like a luxury car.

What's not good

Compromised rear-seat comfort
Slightly stiffer ride for everyday
Has plenty of blind spots
Too powerful for beginner drivers

Large Size: It is a long car, so it can be a bit hard to find parking in crowded city areas.
Low Ground Clearance: When the car is full of people, it sits a bit low, so you have to be careful over very large speed breakers.
No Spare Tire: It comes with a puncture kit instead of a full spare tyre, which can be scary on long trips.
