Mahindra BE 6 Sporteq: Overview
It hasn’t been even two complete years since the Mahindra BE 6 came to the market, and the brand has also revised the lineup with some major tech and design additions;
Mahindra has updated the BE 6 lineup into the Sporteq series. While the core INGLO skateboard platform remains largely untouched, the interior philosophy and tech suite have received notable revisions.
The most notable amongst these is the removal of the wraparound central console spine on higher Sporteq trims. This structural change makes room for a full-width triple-screen display that includes a dedicated front passenger display, which we have seen in other born electric EVs from Mahindra. The brand has also added an intermediate 70 kWh battery configuration alongside the existing 59 kWh and 79 kWh packs.
Below is a detailed breakdown of the technical specifications, variant distribution, and key features.
