Mahindra has recently introduced a new variant of its upcoming all-electric SUV, the BE 6 the Pack Two with a 79 kWh battery pack, priced at Rs 23.5 lakh (ex-showroom). This variant brings the much-desired extended range and high performance of the 79 kWh battery at a significantly lower cost compared to the previously available Pack Three, which is priced at Rs 26.9 lakh.
This makes the BE 6 Pack Two one of the most sensible options in Mahindra’s Born Electric lineup, delivering a compelling mix of performance, range, and features all without crossing the Rs 25 lakh mark.

Pricing: Big Battery Now at a Lower Cost
Earlier, buyers looking for the 79 kWh battery pack had to opt for the top-of-the-line Pack Three variant, which came in at a premium price of Rs 26.9 lakh. With the launch of Pack Two, that same performance and range are now available at Rs 23.5 lakh, resulting in savings of Rs 3.4 lakh. This new offering strategically targets buyers who want the extended range and higher performance without necessarily paying for premium amenities.
Design: Premium Appeal with Minor Differences
The Mahindra BE 6 Pack Two closely resembles the top-spec Pack Three in terms of styling. It continues to offer:
-
LED projector headlamps
-
LED daytime running lights (DRLs)
-
Cornering fog lamps
-
Illuminated BE logo
-
Flush door handles
-
19-inch stylized wheels
The main design differences include the absence of C-shaped DRLs and alloy wheels, which are replaced with stylized steel wheels. Still, the Pack Two retains a high-end visual appeal and will likely be indistinguishable from the top trim to the average viewer.
Interior and Features: A Loaded Tech Cabin
Inside the cabin, the BE 6 Pack Two mirrors the Pack Three with its jet-cockpit inspired interior and advanced tech layout. The dashboard houses dual 12.3-inch displays one for the infotainment system and the other for the digital driver’s cluster.

Performance and Range: No Compromise Here
This is where the Pack Two really shines. The variant is powered by a 79 kWh battery pack, making it the entry-level option for this larger battery. You get the same motor and performance figures as the top variant:
-
Power Output: 286 PS
-
Torque: 380 Nm
-
Claimed Range: 682 km
Compared to the 59 kWh variant (available in lower trims), the 79 kWh unit delivers approximately 100 km more range and better performance, especially in highway driving and long-distance travel.
Verdict: Should You Buy the BE 6 Pack Two?
The Mahindra BE 6 Pack Two offers exceptional value. By cutting down on non-essential luxury features and retaining performance, safety, and core technology, it makes a strong case for being the most balanced variant in the BE 6 lineup.
