Mahindra has elevated the performance of its electric SUV portfolio with the introduction of the BE 6 SPORTEQ Formula E Freedom Edition, a special variation that embodies sportiness with advanced technology as part of the SPORTEQ performance sub-brand. Inspired by Mahindra Racing’s presence in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, this variation offers a confident blend of sporty appeal and performance technology designed to provide drivers with a dynamic experience behind the wheel.
The freedom edition exudes sportiness with its attractive exterior design that incorporates subtle details and touches from motorsport. The exotic tricolour comes in the form of subtle accents, while distinctive Formula E-specific badges and optional satin finishes such as the new Rosso Impulso create a striking contrast with the electric performance SUV’s roof. Enhancing the sporting appeal are larger R20 alloy wheels that fill the arches perfectly, creating a commanding stance. When the curtains drawn at night, the vehicle reveals a dynamic character as one looks at its ground effects, courtesy of the Night Trail Carpet Lamps that display a unique light graphic on the ground when the vehicle is in motion or when the driver gets in or out of the vehicle.
Inside, the cabin features an exclusive Black and Firestorm Orange colour scheme that surrounds the race-inspired dual-screen digital cockpit and signature halo graphics, creating a striking contrast to the overall theme of the Freedom Edition. The vehicle’s technology portfolio also includes a Mahindra TEQ ecosystem that enables software-defined features to create a connected and personalised driving experience. Amongst the features available is the SonicSuite which introduces Virtual Engine Sounds that recreate authentic combustion engine acoustics, providing an additional sensory dimension to the driving experience. As such, drivers can personalise the driving experience to their tastes and personalities through unique engine soundtracks, giving the vehicle more character, especially on the open road.
Freedom Edition’s occupants are also treated to a dynamic driving experience, courtesy of the Intelligent Adaptive Suspension. Featuring driver-cancelling algorithms, this technology actively adjusts the suspension settings to adapt to the demands of the road and driving style. Combined with the electric powertrain’s rear-wheel drive layout and optional Acceleration Boost function, the formula E-specific Freedom Edition develops its performance credentials and underlines its sporting image, offering a rewarding driving experience without compromising comfort.
Overall, the Mahindra BE 6 SPORTEQ Formula E Freedom Edition is a testament to the brand’s sporting spirit, with its performance-focused exterior design, cabin appeal, and technologies that enhance the driving experience. From its adaptive chassis to virtual engine sounds and intelligent connected car technologies, the Freedom Edition offers drivers and passengers a more connected and engaging driving experience.
