Mahindra BE 6 Sporteq Interior Spied: Triple Screen Answers The Only Real Complaint
Leaked interior images of the Mahindra BE 6 Sporteq have surfaced ahead of an official reveal on August 15, 2026. The Sporteq is not a new SUV but a cabin update to the current BE 6, headlined by a triple-screen dashboard, a black-and-tan colour theme, and the deletion of the controversial centre partition.
What was announced
Mahindra will reveal the BE 6 Sporteq on August 15, 2026, as an interior-focused update to the existing BE 6 electric SUV rather than a new model. The Sporteq nameplate has been officially teased, and leaked cabin images now confirm the extent of the changes ahead of the launch event.
Deleting the centre partition and adding a passenger screen fixes the BE 6's loudest cabin complaint without touching anything that already works underneath.
The headline change is a triple-screen dashboard layout that runs across the driver display, central infotainment and a dedicated passenger-side screen. This setup is expected to be exclusive to the Sporteq trim and is not likely to trickle down to the standard BE 6 variants in the near term. The three screens sit on a redesigned dashboard fascia that has been reworked to accommodate the passenger display cleanly.
The second major change visible in the leaked images is the removal of the vertical centre partition that separated the driver and front passenger in the current BE 6. This partition has been a polarising element since the car went on sale, and its deletion opens up the perceived width of the front cabin considerably.
Cabin colours shift to a black base with tan accents across the dashboard and door trims, matching what Mahindra hinted at in its official teaser. The steering wheel design carries over from the standard BE 6, but picks up tan contrast inserts to tie into the new theme. Powertrain, battery and driving hardware are understood to be unchanged from the current BE 6, which continues with rear-wheel-drive layouts on the INGLO skateboard platform.
The Car Jury verdict
The Sporteq addresses the single loudest complaint against the BE 6: a cabin that looked concept-car cool in press images but felt claustrophobic in the showroom. Killing the centre partition and adding a passenger screen brings the BE 6 in line with what buyers at Rs 25 lakh plus now expect, especially with the XEV 9E already flexing a triple-screen layout.
Faisal Khan of FasBeam has already flagged that the top-end non-Batman BE 6 sits at similar money to key rivals, so a mid-cycle interior refresh is the right lever to pull. Rachit Hirani of MotorOctane places the BE 6 and 9E in the same 283 bhp EV bracket buyers cross-shop, which is exactly where cabin theatre decides the sale. Our BE 6 remains a BUY; the Sporteq only strengthens that call for anyone who found the standard cabin too fussy.
