The Mahindra BE 6 and Hyundai Creta Electric are both popular electric SUVs in India, offering a range of variants and features. In this article, we’ll compare the rear seat comfort and space of these two SUVs, focusing on their interior, design, and powertrain.
The Hyundai Creta Electric is known for its conventional SUV design, while the BE 6 has a slanted roofline, giving it a unique style. Both SUVs cater to a mid-size family of 4-5 members, with a focus on spacious rear seating. The Creta Electric’s rear seat is more conventional, with adequate headroom for taller passengers (6 feet or above), sufficient leg room, and knee room. While it’s not ideal for three passengers, it can accommodate two with some discomfort.
The Mahindra BE 6, on the other hand, has a more surprising rear seat experience. Despite the sloping roofline, there’s ample headroom for two 6-foot-tall passengers, with adequate foot room and under-thigh support. However, it’s best suited for two passengers, as three would be a tight squeeze.
Both SUVs offer comfort and convenience features, such as charging ports, rear AC vents, and cupholders. The BE 6 has a BYOD (bring-your-own-device) feature, while the Creta Electric has an electric boss mode and a retractable tray with cupholders and slots.
The Hyundai Creta Electric is priced between Rs 17.99 lakh to Rs 24.3 lakh, while the Mahindra BE 6 ranges from Rs 18.9 lakh to Rs 26.9 lakh. They compete with other popular electric SUVs like the MG ZS EV, Tata Curvv EV, and Maruti e Vitara.
In conclusion, the Mahindra BE 6 is pricier and offers more premium features, but the Creta Electric may be more suitable for taller passengers (6 feet or above) and three passengers. We recommend checking out these SUVs in person to better understand the rear seat experience.
