Interior Innovations

The interior of the BE 6e has also been partially revealed, showcasing a minimalist and tech-focused cabin. The dual-screen setup, reminiscent of modern Tesla models, dominates the dashboard. The steering wheel, with its minimalist design and illuminated logo, adds a touch of futuristic elegance.

Power and Performance

While specific details about the powertrains are still under wraps, Mahindra has confirmed that the INGLO platform will support both rear-wheel-drive (RWD) and all-wheel-drive (AWD) configurations.
