Mahindra BE 6 Batman Edition revealed

Mahindra has pulled the wraps off a new electric vehicle that looks like it drove straight out of a Gotham City garage. In a partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, the company is launching the Mahindra BE 6 Batman Edition, a limited-run electric SUV inspired by Christopher Nolan's cinematic masterpiece.

On the outside, the vehicle commits fully to the Batman aesthetic. The BE 6 is draped in a custom Satin Black paint, giving it a stealthy, imposing presence. Providing a striking contrast are brake calipers and suspension components painted in a color Mahindra calls "Alchemy Gold." The SUV sits on aggressive 20-inch alloy wheels that fill the wheel wells nicely.

Of course, it would not be a Batman edition without the branding. The famous Bat emblem from The Dark Knight trilogy is strategically placed on the hub caps, front quarter panels, and rear bumper. An "Infinity Roof" also features the logo, and unique LEDs project the emblem onto the ground when the doors are open. A special badge on the rear confirms its special status for anyone who might have missed the other clues.

The superhero theme continues inside the cabin, which has been transformed into a mobile command center fit for Bruce Wayne. The interior is finished in charcoal leather and suede with gold sepia accent stitching. The driver-focused cockpit is highlighted by a brushed gold halo, and a brushed Alchemy Gold plaque on the dashboard denotes the vehicle's unique number in the limited production run.

The Bat emblem makes numerous appearances, embossed on the headrests and even on the "Boost" button. Race-inspired straps on the doors feature Batman Edition branding, and the digital experience is customized with a special welcome animation on the infotainment screen and unique exterior sounds engineered for the electric car.

Beneath all the superhero styling is a modern electric car with solid specifications thanks to VW's MEB platform. The Batman Edition is based on the top-tier version of the Mahindra BE 6. It is powered by a 79 kWh battery pack, which provides an estimated range of 342 miles on the WLTP cycle. That battery sends electricity to a single 282-horsepower rear-mounted motor with 280 lb-ft of torque.

Looks and power aside, the BE 6 is also equipped with contemporary technology. The Level 2 Advanced Driver-Assistance System (ADAS) helps the driver with tasks like steering, acceleration, and braking under certain conditions. The cabin is filled with screens, including one in the center of the steering wheel hub. While visually interesting, this placement has raised some questions about its interaction with the driver's airbag during a potential deployment.

For fans in India hoping to get their hands on this unique collectible, the opportunity will be brief. Mahindra is producing only 300 units of the BE 6 Batman Edition. The price is set at ₹27.79 lakh, which converts to just under $27,500, making this Batmobile a distinctive and attainable special edition. The order books for this cinematic EV will open on August 23.
