Mahindra has taken its electric vehicle lineup a step further into the future with the launch of the BE 6 Formula E Edition, a special variant that pays tribute to the brand’s decade-long journey in the world of electric racing. Priced at ₹23.69 lakh for the FE2 and ₹24.49 lakh for the FE3, this exclusive edition is not just a cosmetic upgrade over the standard BE 6—it represents Mahindra’s racing spirit infused into its production EV lineup.
Bookings for the Formula E Edition will officially begin on January 14, 2026, and deliveries are set to start exactly one month later, on February 14, 2026. Enthusiasts now have the chance to own a piece of motorsport-inspired design and performance crafted specifically for Indian roads.
A Special Edition Built on Motorsport Heritage
Mahindra’s involvement in the Formula E championship started twelve years ago, and the brand is celebrating this milestone by launching a road-going EV that incorporates design cues and performance elements derived from the globally acclaimed racing series.
The BE 6 Formula E Edition is available in two trims—FE2 and FE3—both powered exclusively by the larger 79kWh battery pack. This gives the EV an impressive ARAI-rated range of 682 km, positioning it as one of the longest-range electric SUVs in the Indian market.
However, the Formula E Edition is not just about range or performance. Mahindra has carefully reimagined the exterior and interior, enhancing the SUV’s presence and appeal while ensuring it carries unmistakable motorsport DNA.
Bold, Aggressive, and Race-Inspired: Exterior Enhancements
At first glance, the BE 6 Formula E Edition stands out from the standard variant through its significantly bolder exterior styling. Mahindra has reworked both the front and rear bumpers, making them sharper, more angular, and more aggressively sculpted. A prominent faux bash plate in silver adds a touch of ruggedness while evoking the aerodynamic styling seen in Formula E cars.
Mahindra is offering the Formula E Edition in four striking colours:
Tango Red, Stealth Black, Firestorm Orange, and Everest White.
These shades are also found on the regular BE 6, but what sets the special edition apart is the thoughtful placement of exclusive Formula E branding, graphics, and decals.
One of the most noticeable features is the iconic 12-stripe graphic running across the roof and bonnet. These stripes symbolize the twelve years Mahindra Racing has spent competing internationally in Formula E. The graphic not only adds identity but also functions as a visual celebration of the brand’s electric journey.
Complementing these design touches are circular LED headlights, unique to the Formula E Edition. The contrasting body cladding in black and grey runs from the front all the way to the rear, enhancing the SUV’s muscular posture. On the FE3 variant, Mahindra has added exterior puddle lamps, further distinguishing it from the FE2.
The wheel setup on the Formula E Edition also reflects its motorsport inspiration. While the FE2 retains the standard model’s 19-inch alloy wheels, the FE3 gets massive 20-inch alloys, giving it a commanding presence on the road. These wheels not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also contribute to improved handling and stability.
At the rear, the changes are subtle yet meaningful. Unlike the standard BE 6, the Formula E Edition’s LED taillights do not extend downward toward the bumpers. Instead, they maintain a cleaner, sharper design, complemented by a newly introduced Formula E badge placed beside the BE 6 emblem, underscoring its special identity.
A Cabin Designed with Racing Inspiration in Mind
Stepping inside the BE 6 Formula E Edition reveals a cabin that stays true to the futuristic interior layout of the standard BE 6 but with significant enhancements inspired by motorsport aesthetics. Mahindra continues with its distinctive two-spoke rectangular steering wheel, the floating halo loop divider between the driver and passenger, and dual 12.3-inch screens—one for infotainment and the other for the digital instrument cluster.
The most striking change is the introduction of the Firestorm Orange interior theme, which blends black and fiery orange to create a sporty yet premium atmosphere. The seats, dashboard, and door trims incorporate orange highlights that instantly differentiate the Formula E Edition from the standard version.
Mahindra has added exclusive Formula E branding throughout the cabin. The dashboard features specialized logos, the seats are embroidered with Formula E insignia, and even the seat belts proudly display FIA branding, reinforcing the EV’s racing pedigree. A dedicated FIA × Formula E Edition plaque further enhances the exclusivity factor.
To elevate the user experience, Mahindra has integrated Formula E–themed start-up animations into the infotainment system. The EV even features synthetic engine sounds inspired by the audio experience of racing vehicles, giving drivers a sense of excitement when accelerating or cruising.
Feature-Rich Cabin with Premium Technology
Mahindra has equipped the BE 6 Formula E Edition with every feature available on the top-spec Pack Three variant of the standard BE 6. This means buyers get a cabin loaded with advanced technology and comfort-oriented features.
Some of the major highlights include:
- Dual wireless charging pads for front passengers
- A cooled armrest console for added convenience
- 360-degree surround camera with dynamic guidelines
- A complete suite of ADAS safety features
- Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Ambient lighting that can be customized
- A high-end Harman Kardon audio system
- Premium upholstery and interior materials
For customers opting for the FE3 variant, Mahindra adds an extra layer of sophistication with adaptive suspension, allowing for improved ride quality and handling tailored to different terrains and driving styles. This feature is particularly appealing for enthusiasts who crave a dynamic driving experience.
A Powertrain That Reflects Mahindra’s EV Prowess
Under the hood—or rather, beneath the floor—the BE 6 Formula E Edition uses the same powertrain as the higher-spec variants of the standard BE 6. The special edition comes exclusively with the larger 79kWh battery pack, which has been engineered to deliver an impressive range of up to 682 km under ARAI testing conditions.
This battery powers a rear-mounted electric motor capable of producing 286 hp and 380 Nm of torque, making the BE 6 Formula E Edition quick off the line and smooth in power delivery. The rear-wheel drive layout allows for agile handling and a fun-to-drive character that aligns with the EV’s motorsport-inspired identity.
Thanks to its efficient aerodynamics, advanced thermal management system, and optimized motor-control software, the Formula E Edition achieves a balance of strong performance and excellent energy efficiency.
Why the Formula E Edition Matters in India’s EV Landscape
The launch of the BE 6 Formula E Edition is more than just a new variant—it is a statement. India’s EV market is evolving rapidly, with more buyers seeking advanced, stylish, and feature-packed electric SUVs. By introducing a model inspired directly by its motorsport journey, Mahindra is bridging the gap between racing technology and everyday mobility.
The Formula E Edition offers:
- A unique identity for enthusiasts
- Longest-in-class range for practical users
- Modern, futuristic design for style-focused buyers
- Premium features appealing to luxury-segment customers
- Motorsports-inspired driving dynamics and aesthetics
It appeals not only to EV buyers but also to fans of Formula E and Mahindra’s global motorsport legacy.
