Tata Harrier EV Vs Mahindra BE 6 Spec Comparison: Appearance

By adding design elements unique to electric vehicles, the Harrier EV changes the tough appearance of the diesel model. In order to increase efficiency, it uses aerodynamic wheels, redesigns the bumpers, and replaces the open grille with a sealed front. The vehicle, which was created on Tata's most recent Gen 2 EV platform, strikes a balance between a contemporary electric vehicle aesthetic and its recognisable, sturdy shape.

The Mahindra BE 6 boasts an aggressive and cutting-edge design. Its aggressive posture is accentuated by sculpted lines, and a dynamic, eye-catching appearance is created by the angular bonnet and C-shaped LED DRLs. The sleek, aerodynamic profile and sporty appeal are enhanced by the sharp front bumper. An illuminated BE emblem on the bonnet, full-width wraparound LED taillights, flush door handles, a coupe-like roofline, streamlined cuts and creases, and newly designed alloy wheels are some of the key features.

Together with an all-wheel-drive system that includes two electric motors, the Tata Harrier EV is available with two high-capacity lithium-ion battery options: 65kWh and 75kWh.

Tata Harrier EV Vs Mahindra BE 6 Spec Comparison: Features

Despite having a dashboard that is very similar to that of its internal combustion counterpart, the Tata Harrier EV stands out thanks to its sophisticated grey-and-white interior design. It has a top-of-the-line Samsung Neo QLED infotainment screen and a redesigned four-spoke steering wheel with an illuminated Tata logo. Among the notable features are a panoramic sunroof, ventilated powered front seats, a 10-speaker JBL sound system with Dolby Atmos 5.1, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, dual-zone climate control, and bi-directional charging via V2L and V2C. The "Summon Mode," which enables remote forward and backward motion of the vehicle with the key fob, is a major feature. To improve off-road visibility, the 360-degree camera has a Transparent Mode. The EV's six driving modes – Normal, Mud Ruts, Sand, Rock Crawl, Snow/Grass, and Custom – combine with Tata's Off-Road Assist, which functions similarly to cruise control in off-road situations, to accommodate a variety of terrains.

The interior of the Mahindra BE 6, in contrast, features a sleek two-spoke steering wheel with the glowing "BE" emblem in the middle. The drive mode shifter has a sporty design that mimics the thrust lever of a fighter jet, and the seats are finished in grey fabric. Wireless phone charging, multi-zone climate control, a panoramic glass roof with ambient lighting, and two 10.25-inch digital displays for the infotainment and driver are among the technological features.
