Have you been waiting for an electric SUV that brings real motorsport excitement to the road? The Mahindra BE 6 Formula E Edition might be exactly what you’re looking for. Mahindra has officially launched this special edition with two variants—FE2 and FE3—offering race-inspired styling, premium features, and exclusive ownership perks.
In this blog, you’ll discover the complete details of the launch, variant-wise prices, standout features, and everything that makes the Formula E Edition different from the standard BE 6. By the end, you’ll have a clear understanding of whether this new EV fits your expectations and budget.
What’s new: Design, performance and claimed range
The Formula E Edition adds a strong racing vibe to the BE 6. You’ll spot special bumpers, decals, Firestorm Orange accents, FIA branding and a ceramic “Mahindra Formula E” marking on the windshield. Under the sheet metal the car is mechanically similar to the BE 6 Pack long‑range model. That means the powertrain specs are familiar but tuned for sporty feel and character.
Key powertrain figures you should know:
- Battery: 79 kWh
- Peak power: 282 bhp (210 kW)
- 0–100 km/h: 6.7 seconds
- Top speed: 202 km/h
- Range: Mahindra cites ~500 km real‑world range; certified combined MIDC figure is 682 km
- Charging: Up to 180 kW DC — 20→80% in about 20 minutes
Those numbers make the BE 6 Formula E Edition a fast, long‑range electric SUV on paper. But remember: this is an appearance and experience edition. The drivetrain is not a completely new engine; it’s the BE 6 long‑range hardware with race styling and software touches like special startup animations and exterior engine sound simulators.
FE2 vs FE3 — Key differences and spec table
Mahindra launched two variants: FE2 and FE3. FE2 is the base Formula E Edition with unique styling and 19‑inch alloys. FE3 adds performance‑oriented hardware and upgraded wheels, plus a few cosmetic extras.
| Variant | Price (ex‑showroom, India) | Key Features |
|---|---|---|
| FE2 | ₹23.69 lakh | Formula‑E styling, R19 alloys, full FE feature set, standard ride |
| FE3 | ₹24.49 lakh | Intelligent Adaptive Suspension, R20 racetrack‑style alloys, extra visual/night‑trail lamps |
This table helps you compare the two at a glance. In short: choose FE2 for looks and kit, pick FE3 if you want the adaptive suspension and larger wheels that give a firmer, more planted ride.
Interior, tech and safety highlights
I like how Mahindra treated the cabin. The BE 6 Formula E Edition keeps the BE 6’s premium tech but adds race‑themed animations and sounds. Here’s what stands out:
- Displays: Dual 12.3″ screens running AdrenoX with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155.
- Audio: 16‑speaker Harman Kardon system with Dolby Atmos and Sonic Studio.
- Connectivity: 5G, built‑in Alexa, wireless phone mirroring, and 65W Type‑C fast charge ports.
- Special touches: Formula‑E startup animations and custom exterior engine sounds.
- Safety: 6 airbags, 360° camera, blind‑view monitor, all‑wheel disc brakes with brake‑by‑wire, intelligent electronic brake booster, driver drowsiness detection, TPMS and Level‑2+ ADAS.
These features make the cabin both high tech and safe. For example, the Level‑2+ ADAS helps with adaptive cruise and lane assist on highways — useful on long trips where you’ll also benefit from the claimed long range.
Pricing, ordering timeline and buyer perks
Let’s talk money and timing. The two variants are priced ex‑showroom in India at ₹23.69 lakh (FE2) and ₹24.49 lakh (FE3). Mahindra positioned this as a premium, limited special edition.
Important dates you may want to note:
- Customer personalization options open: December 14, 2025
- Bookings open: January 14, 2026
- Deliveries begin: February 14, 2026
Mahindra also added motorsport‑style buyer incentives. The first 999 buyers get exclusive packages. These include:
- A track‑day experience with Mahindra racer Kush Maini (a real FIA F2 race winner).
- A collector’s box and delivery photo/video package.
- Choice of a numbered decal and the buyer’s name displayed on Mahindra’s Formula E car.
- Three buyers will be drawn to win tickets and paddock access to the London E‑Prix (August 2026) — winners handle their own visas.
Mahindra named Kush Maini as the edition’s ambassador. They even launched a BE 6 Formula E ride‑on toddler car to complement the theme, due in April 2026 for roughly ₹18,000. These extras show the edition is as much about ownership experience as it is about looks.

Final Thoughts
We’ve covered the key points about the Mahindra BE 6 Formula E Edition. If you want a race‑themed BE 6 with long range, fast charging and rich tech, this edition makes sense. The FE2 gives you the full style kit at a lower price. FE3 is the pick if you want adaptive suspension and larger wheels for a sportier feel.
To recap in one line: the BE 6 Formula E Edition blends the BE 6’s long range and performance with motorsport looks and exclusive buyer experiences. If you’re considering one, mark the booking date — January 14, 2026 — and remember personalization starts December 14. I’d be happy to pull a short comparison against the standard BE 6 Pack if you want a side‑by‑side look.
