The scoreboard
Mahindra BE 6 SPORTEQ
8/10 SEV score
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.

VinFast VF6
8.5/10 SEV score
Expert Verdict
The VinFast VF6 is a refreshing, premium city-EV that prioritizes design and technology. Its massive 10-year warranty and a 5-star safety rating make it a standout, though its minimalist, screen-heavy cabin has a learning curve.
Based on SEV score and how each EV scores on price, range, battery, charging time, speed, power and boot space.

Pros & Cons
Mahindra BE 6 SPORTEQVinFast VF6
What's good
- Undeniably a head-turner
- Exhilarating performance
- Sharp, engaging dynamics.
- Highly practical real-world range with 79 kWh battery
- Italian Design: One of the most stylish and premium-looking EV in the ₹18–22 lakh segment.
- Safety & Warranty: A 5-star BNCAP rating combined with a 10-year warranty is a massive confidence booster.
- Punchy Performance: The 201 PS motor makes it a genuinely fun car to drive on open roads.
What's not good
- Compromised rear-seat comfort
- Slightly stiffer ride for everyday
- Has plenty of blind spots
- Too powerful for beginner drivers
- Ergonomics: The lack of a physical instrument cluster and physical AC controls can be frustrating for traditional drivers.
- Firm Ride: The suspension can feel a bit "thumpy" over broken city roads.
- Rear Seating: The high floor pan means rear-seat passengers don't get the best under-thigh support for long journeys.
