Mahindra BE 6 vs MG ZS EV: which should you buy?
The MG ZS EV 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 ₹20.75L, where the ZS EV tops out. Past that only the BE 6 has anything left to sell you, up to ₹28.49L.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹20.75L to both showrooms and you come out with the BE 6 Pack One Above at ₹20.50L or the ZS EV Essence at ₹20.75L, the BE 6 leaving ₹0.25L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.25L more for the ZS EV Essence: level 2 (full suite) ADAS, 360° camera and blind spot monitor. The useful extras on top: hill descent control and 6-way powered driver seat. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- The BE 6 Pack One Above is the strongest of the two at 231 PS
- Also on the ZS EV Essence: SOS emergency call (E-call / B-call), auto-folding wing mirrors and leatherette upholstery, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the ZS EV Essence, you give up touchscreen (12.3" against 10.1"), dual-zone climate control and driver display (10.25" digital against 7" digital), which the BE 6 Pack One Above keeps
- Choose the Mahindra BE 6 Pack One Above if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.25L than pay for kit you will not miss, and the EV running costs seal it
- Choose the MG ZS EV Essence if
- Safety kit matters more to you than keeping the money
