Mahindra has a habit of surprising us with special editions of the BE 6, and this time, they’ve gone all in on motorsport. The Mahindra BE 6 Formula E Edition is being called the world’s first Formula E inspired electric SUV, and after going through everything about this launch, I can tell you it’s not just a sticker job. There’s real thought behind this one. Let me walk you through the price, features, and everything else that makes this edition stand out.
What Is the BE 6 Formula E Edition?
If you already know the standard Mahindra BE 6, you know it’s one of the sportiest looking electric SUVs sold in India. Mahindra decided that wasn’t enough, so they pulled inspiration from their own involvement in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship ,where Mahindra Racing has actually competed and won , and used that identity to build a special road-going edition. It’s a limited-run model, but not in the usual sense.
The first 999 units get extra perks, but production continues beyond that, so you’re not missing out entirely if you’re late to the party.
Mahindra BE 6 Formula E Edition Price in India
Here’s the number you’re looking for. The Mahindra BE 6 Formula E Edition is priced at ₹23.69 lakh for the FE2 variant and ₹24.49 lakh for the FE3 variant (both ex-showroom). That places it a notch above the standard BE 6 lineup, but still well under the BE 6 Batman Edition, which was launched earlier at ₹27.79 lakh.
Given the amount of visual and cabin change on offer, plus the motorsport tie-in, this pricing feels fairly reasonable if you’re someone who wants your SUV to stand out from every other electric SUV on the road.
Launch Date and Booking Details
Mahindra unveiled the mahindra BE 6 Formula E Edition in Bengaluru in late November 2025, but the actual buying process rolled out in stages. Bookings opened on 14 January 2026 with a token amount of ₹21,000, and customer deliveries began about a month later, on 14 February 2026. So if you book now, you’re looking at a reasonably quick turnaround compared to a lot of limited editions that make you wait months.
Battery, Range and Performance
The mechanical setup here is unchanged from the standard BE 6, and that’s not a bad thing at all. You get a 79 kWh battery pack paired with a single electric motor driving the rear wheels, producing 282 bhp and 380 Nm of torque. Mahindra claims a range of up to 683 km on the Indian test cycle, which is genuinely one of the best figures you’ll find in this price bracket.
In terms of straight-line performance, the BE 6 Formula E Edition can do 0-100 kmph in well under 7 seconds, and it doesn’t feel out of place next to cars costing a lot more. The FE3 variant goes a step further by adding adaptive suspension, which should noticeably improve ride quality and handling compared to the FE2.
Design Changes: What Makes It Different
This is really where the Formula E Edition earns its name. Mahindra has redesigned the front and rear bumpers to look more aggressive, added a new rear faux skid plate finished in brushed aluminium, and fitted a new spoiler integrated into the boot lid. There are new headlamps too, along with fresh paint options, hood stripes, and wheel stripes that immediately tell people this isn’t a regular BE 6.
Other small but noticeable touches include an orange tow hook, a Formula E badge at the rear, red brake callipers, and orange inserts on the running boards. It’s available in four colours — Tango Red, Firestorm Orange, Everest White, and Stealth Black — all of which suit the racing theme well.
Interior Highlights
Step inside, and the racing theme continues. The cabin gets a transparent door panel, Formula E branding, and carbon fibre accents across the doors. There’s a Formula E motif stitched into the seatback, orange inserts on the steering wheel, orange centre console buttons, and orange door handles. It’s a cohesive theme rather than a random scattering of decals, which I appreciate.
The FE2 and FE3 also get a racing-inspired start-stop switch and special 20-inch alloy wheels, both of which add to that cockpit-like feel Mahindra was clearly going for.
Exclusive Perks for Early Buyers
This is where things get genuinely exciting. The first 999 customers get a set of exclusive benefits that go well beyond the usual “limited edition” badge:
- A track day experience at the Mahindra Proving Track
- A collector’s box filled with Mahindra Racing memorabilia
- The choice of a special number (0 to 99) displayed as a side-door decal
- Their name featured on the actual Mahindra racecar at the London E-Prix
On top of that, three lucky customers among the first 999 will win an all-expenses-paid trip, including tickets and paddock access, to the London E-Prix in August 2026. That’s a genuinely rare kind of perk to get with a road car purchase in India.
A Fun Extra: The Toy Ride-On Version
Mahindra also unveiled a scaled-down toddler ride-on version of the BE 6 Formula E Edition, complete with mini aero flares and the same vibrant colour options. It’s priced at just ₹18,000 and will be available from April 2026 — a nice little touch for families who want to bring the youngest members into the brand’s electric racing story.
Who Is the Face Behind This Edition?
Mahindra has roped in Kush Maini, a Bengaluru-born racer and FIA Formula 2 race winner who is also part of Mahindra’s Formula E Racing team, as the face of its Electric Origin SUVs. Mentored by two time F1 World Champion Mika Häkkinen, Kush brings genuine motorsport credibility to this launch rather than just being a marketing face.
