Mahindra’s First Dark Edition EV: Mahindra has launched the BE 6 Batman Edition at ₹27.79 lakh (ex-showroom), marking a unique collaboration with Warner Bros to bring the Dark Knight to the Indian EV market.
Limited to just 300 units, bookings for this special edition opened on August 23 with a token amount of ₹21,000, and deliveries are set to begin on September 20, coinciding with International Batman Day. The Batman Edition is based on the BE 6 Pack Three variant and carries a premium of ₹89,000 over the standard model.
Dark Knight-Inspired Exterior
The Batman Edition makes a striking impression with its satin black finish complemented by gloss black wheel arches and bumpers. Doors feature Batman decals, while the front fenders, wheel hubcaps, rear bumper, windows, and rear windshield sport gold-finished Batman emblems. Even the suspension springs and brake calipers are highlighted in gold. A unique ‘BE 6 X The Dark Knight’ badge on the tailgate signifies its exclusivity.
Cabin with Black and Gold Theme
Inside, the cabin carries a black-and-gold theme, with gold accents around the driver’s seat, AC vents, rotary dial, and key fob. Gold stitching adorns the upholstery, and a limited-edition Batman plaque with unit numbering sits on the centre console.
The seats, door handles, dashboard, and even the boost button on the steering wheel display Dark Knight trilogy logos. The panoramic glass roof features ambient lighting inspired by Batman, puddle lamps project the iconic bat symbol, and the instrument cluster comes with a Batman Edition animation along with a dedicated Batman-themed start-up sound.
Performance and Range
The BE 6 Batman Edition retains the top-spec Pack Three variant’s mechanicals, featuring a 79 kWh battery that offers an ARAI-rated range of 682 km. Power comes from a rear-mounted electric motor producing 286 hp and 380 Nm of torque, ensuring brisk acceleration. Buyers can choose 7.2 kW or 11 kW AC chargers at an additional cost. This edition marks Mahindra’s first EV to receive the Dark Edition treatment, combining performance with superhero-inspired styling.
Exclusivity and Appeal
With its limited production, bespoke exterior and interior detailing, and high-performance EV specifications, the BE 6 Batman Edition is aimed at enthusiasts who want a collector-worthy electric SUV with a superhero edge.
