The statement from the Indian automaker said, "We are aware of a video uploaded on 18th January 2025, followed by news articles, claiming that Mahindra BE 6 stalled due to sensor failure after a rear-end collision in Hyderabad."
It added, "We categorically state that these claims are baseless and incorrect. The vehicle's stoppage was not related to any sensor failure as being claimed in the video. Following the collision, the car was immediately moved to the side of the road, clearly demonstrating its functionality. Given that there was a collision, the vehicle was appropriately transported to the dealership for inspection."

Mahindra BE 6 is currently sold at a starting price of Rs 18.90 lakh (ex-showroom). It comes with two battery pack options: a 59 kWh battery pack and a 79 kWh battery pack. The one with the smaller battery pack offers a range of up to 557 km on a single charge while the bigger battery pack version returns a range of 683 km.
