Mahindra has officially expanded its Electric Origin SUV lineup with the launch of the heavily updated BE 6 Sporteq, alongside a striking new Formula E Freedom Edition. This rollout shifts the electric SUV’s focus toward cutting-edge cabin technology, deep personalization, and motorsport-inspired aesthetics.
While the standard Sporteq transforms the interior with a massive triple-screen layout, the Formula E Freedom Edition takes a different route, preserving the driver-focused cockpit while adding exclusive racing flair. With outright purchase prices starting at ₹19.45 lakh and an aggressive Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) option bringing the entry point down to ₹11.45 lakh, Mahindra is aggressively targeting the premium EV space.

| Variant | Battery | Price (Ex-Showroom) |
| Sporteq One | 59 kWh | ₹19.45 lakh |
| Sporteq Two | 59 kWh | ₹20.95 lakh |
| Sporteq Three | 70 kWh | ₹21.95 lakh |

BaaS Pricing:
The standard BE 6 Sporteq is also available through the BaaS program on the 59kWh One and Two variants. Buyers pay an initial ₹11.45 lakh (for the One trim) and a battery subscription charge of ₹3.75/km.
Formula E Freedom Edition: What Makes It Special?
Launched just under a year after the original BE 6 Formula E, the new Formula E Freedom Edition brings a refined approach to Mahindra’s motorsport-inspired EV.
Exterior Updates: It ditches the older, polarizing round LED headlamps and slim DRLs, adopting the sleeker C-shaped DRLs and aerodynamic bumpers of the new Sporteq. To stand out, it wears an exclusive Rosso Impulso paint shade, tri-color racing decals, and prominent ‘Formula E’ badging on the front fenders.
The Cockpit Difference: This is where the Freedom Edition diverges from the rest of the Sporteq lineup. While the standard Sporteq moves to a new triple-screen dashboard and removes the central dividing loop, the Formula E Freedom Edition intentionally retains the halo-like loop separating the driver and co-driver, maintaining its aggressive, cockpit-like feel. It also sticks with the dual 12.3-inch screen setup rather than upgrading to three screens.
Inside, it features a unique Firestorm Orange color theme, premium leatherette and suede upholstery, a dedicated Freedom Edition plaque, panoramic glass roof decals, and exclusive virtual engine sounds. It is powered exclusively by the larger 79kWh battery, sending 282 bhp and 380 Nm of torque to the rear wheels, offering a claimed range of up to 683 km.
Standard Sporteq: The Biggest Change Is Inside
For the rest of the BE 6 Sporteq lineup, the interior receives a complete technological overhaul.
- Previous BE 6 & Formula E: Dual-screen dashboard layout with a halo loop.
- New BE 6 Sporteq: Triple 12.3-inch screen layout dominating the dashboard, with the halo loop completely removed.
By deleting the sweeping halo loop on the standard Sporteq, Mahindra has improved cabin ergonomics, creating a cleaner horizontal layout with much easier access to the centre console, wireless charging pad, and USB Type-C ports.
Six New TEQ Features
The standard Sporteq introduces six new “TEQ” technology suites centered around connectivity and personalization:
- TEQ_Me: Automatically recognizes the driver and loads a personalized user profile.
- TEQ_Drive: Adds enthusiast and safety functions like Custom Drive Mode, Tribe Drive, Drift Mode, Acceleration Boost, and Revive SOS.
- TEQ_Play: Turns the vehicle into an entertainment hub featuring Dolby Atmos audio via a 16-speaker Harman Kardon system.
- TEQ_Talk: Integrates Google Gemini for advanced conversational voice commands covering navigation, music, and vehicle functions.
- TEQ_Secure: Adds comprehensive security, digital key functionalities, and NFC access.
- TEQ_Xting: Allows owners to display personalized messages directly on the LED tailgate display.

What Does BaaS Mean for the BE 6 Sporteq?

According to Mahindra, this pricing model assumes a daily usage of 60km over an eight-year loan tenure.
Should You Buy the BE 6 Sporteq or Formula E Edition?
Buy the standard Sporteq if: You want a deeply personalized, technology-heavy EV with a triple-screen dashboard, Google Gemini integration, increased center-console space, and the financial flexibility of the BaaS model.
Buy the Formula E Freedom Edition if: You prefer the driver-focused, cockpit-like feel of the original halo loop and dual-screen layout. If you want a rare, motorsport-themed EV with exclusive Rosso Impulso paint, suede interiors, and a proven 79kWh performance powertrain, this ₹24.45 lakh edition is the one to pick.
