Jeep Compass vs Mahindra BE 6: which should you buy?
The Jeep Compass starts at ₹17.99L against the Mahindra BE 6's ₹18.90L ex-showroom Delhi, so it is ₹0.91L cheaper to get into.
They run together up to ₹28.49L, where the BE 6 tops out. Past that only the Compass has anything left to sell you, up to ₹30.70L.
Fuel is a real difference here: the Compass comes in diesel, the BE 6 in electric.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹28.49L to both showrooms and you come out with the Compass Model S (O2) at ₹26.70L or the BE 6 Batman Edition at ₹28.49L, the Compass leaving ₹1.79L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹1.79L more for the BE 6 Batman Edition: airbags (7 against 6), level 2 (full suite) ADAS and blind spot monitor. The useful extras on top: touchscreen (12.3" against 10.1") and drive modes. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- The BE 6 is electric, so it will be the cheapest of these to run
- The BE 6 Batman Edition is the strongest of the two at 286 PS
- Also on the BE 6 Batman Edition: head-up display, ISOFIX child seat anchorages, front parking sensors and speakers (16 against 9), and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the BE 6 Batman Edition, you give up SOS call, powered driver seat (8-way against 6-way) and driver seat memory, which the Compass Model S (O2) keeps
- Choose the Jeep Compass Model S (O2) if
- You would rather keep the ₹1.79L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Mahindra BE 6 Batman Edition if
- Safety kit matters more to you than keeping the money
