Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.10L more for the Urban Cruiser eBella E3: airbags (7 against 6), 360° camera and blind spot monitor. The useful extras on top: 10-way powered driver seat and auto-folding wing mirrors. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- The BE 6 Pack Two is the strongest of the two at 286 PS
- Also on the Urban Cruiser eBella E3: SOS emergency call (E-call / B-call), ventilated front seats, air purifier and leatherette upholstery, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Urban Cruiser eBella E3, you give up sunroof (Panoramic against Single-pane), touchscreen (12.3" against 10.1") and dual-zone climate control, which the BE 6 Pack Two keeps
- Choose the Mahindra BE 6 Pack Two if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.10L than pay for kit you will not miss, and the EV running costs seal it
- Choose the Toyota Urban Cruiser eBella E3 if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
