Harrier EV vs BE6 Comparison: Prices, Specs, Range & Features in India ⚡

India’s electric SUV battle heats up as the premium Tata Harrier EV (₹ 21.49 lakh) takes on the value-driven Mahindra BE 6 (₹ 18.90 lakh).

India’s electric SUV landscape is heating up, and two of the strongest contenders are the Tata Harrier EV and the Mahindra BE 6. Priced from ₹ 21.49 lakh and ₹ 18.90 lakh respectively (ex-showroom Delhi), these two vehicles offer compelling value—but each follows a different strategy in range, performance, features, and tech. Here’s a deep dive into how they stack up when you’re deciding which EV deserves pride of place in your garage.

Price & Value

The BE 6 begins at ₹ 18.90 lakh for its entry-level Pack One variant, while the Harrier EV kicks off at ₹ 21.49 lakh for the Adventure trim. That lakh-and-a-half premium buys Harrier’s twin-motor AWD power and Tata’s premium interior. The BE 6, meanwhile, positions itself as the budget alternative—ideal for those chasing range without the premium badge. Despite its lower entry price, BE 6 still includes substantial technology, making it seem like a sweet deal on paper.

Battery & Driving Range

Mahindra equips the BE 6 with a 59 kWh battery (Pack One) or a 79 kWh option, delivering up to 683 km of range. In contrast, the Harrier EV uses 65 or 75 kWh LFP packs, yielding ranges between 538–627 km. While the BE 6 clearly leads on official MIDC range figures, real-world results in forums and owner groups often see Harrier closing the gap once ADAS systems affect efficiency. Still, for sheer distance between charges, BE 6 holds a clear advantage.

The Harrier EV stands out with its dual-motor AWD setup: 390 bhp and 504 Nm torque propel it from 0–100 km/h in just 6.3 seconds. BE 6 uses a single motor setup—228 bhp and 380 Nm—hitting 0–100 in about 6.7 seconds. Though BE 6 impresses for its single-motor pace, the instant AWD thrust and boost of the Harrier give it the edge in sheer acceleration and highway passing power.

Charging Speeds

Both SUVs support fast charging, but BE 6 wins on speed: 20–80% in just 20 minutes with a 140 kW DC charger. Harrier requires about 25 minutes to do the same via a 120 kW system. AC charging is slower for Harrier too, taking around 10.7 hours on home power, while BE6 uses an 11.2 kW wall charger to finish overnight. So for frequent long drives, the BE6’s quicker charge time is a real perk.

Features & Infotainment

Harrier EV brings a premium cabin experience: a 14.5-inch QLED touchscreen, 540-degree camera, panoramic sunroof, wireless charging, Dolby Atmos audio, and Level 2 ADAS with 22 aids like adaptive cruise, lane keep, and blind-spot detection. BE 6 counters with dual 12.3-inch displays, wired Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, 16-speaker Harman Kardon, and some ADAS features, though less extensive than Tata’s suite. Harier also supports V2L and V2V power delivery, a growing must-have in EVs.

Safety & Comfort

Tata packs in six to seven airbags, ESP, hill hold, and a full suite of ADAS extras. Mahindra includes six airbags, ESP, and essentials, with optional L2+ tech available in BE 6 via Mobileye chips. Tata’s stronger safety credentials offer greater peace of mind, but BE6’s tech-rich cabin makes it feel more futuristic. Taller drivers also appreciate the Harrier’s spacious rear seats, while BE6 feels more compact yet functional.

Design & Build Quality

Built on Tata’s sturdy acti.ev+ platform, the Harrier EV shares its rugged appearance with the ICE Harrier, with a closed grille and aerodynamic styling. Over in Mahindra territory, BE6 rides on the modern INGLO skateboard—sharper lines, coupe-SUV silhouette, and sleeker proportions. Harrier’s classic yet premium SUV look appeals to tradition, while BE6’s contemporary style leans youth.
