In a thrilling fusion of superhero lore and cutting-edge automotive technology, Mahindra has unveiled the BE 6 Batman Edition â hailed as the world’s first commercially available Batman-inspired SUV. This limited-edition electric vehicle, born from a collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, draws heavy inspiration from Christopher Nolan’s iconic *The Dark Knight* trilogy. Launched on August 14, 2025, it’s not just a car; it’s a rolling tribute to the Caped Crusader, blending dark aesthetics with high-performance EV capabilities.
Priced at âı27.79 lakh (ex-showroom), the BE 6 Batman Edition is strictly limited to 300 units, making it a coveted collector’s item for Batman enthusiasts and auto aficionados alike. Bookings kick off on August 23, 2025, with a token amount of âı21,000, and deliveries are slated to begin on September 20 â fittingly, International Batman Day.
Built on a Solid Foundation: The BE 6 Pack 3 Variant
At its core, the Batman Edition is based on the top-spec Pack 3 variant of Mahindra’s Electric Origin BE 6 SUV. This means it packs a punch with a 79kWh battery, delivering 281 horsepower and 380Nm of torque in a rear-wheel-drive setup. Acceleration from 0-100kmph is a brisk 6.7 seconds, while the ARAI-certified range stretches to an impressive 682km on a single charge. Fast charging is equally superheroic: from 20% to 80% in just 20 minutes using a 175kW DC charger.
Drivers can choose from three modes â Range, Everyday, and Race â plus a Boost mode that unleashes full torque for 10 seconds of adrenaline-fueled performance. Safety features are top-notch, including an L2+ ADAS suite with five radars, a vision camera, auto lane change, emergency steering assist, blind spot detection, and cross-traffic alerts. The VisionX augmented reality head-up display (ARHUD) adds a futuristic touch to the driving experience.

Exterior: A Dark Knight’s Silhouette
The BE 6 Batman Edition exudes menace and mystery from every angle. It sports an exclusive Custom Satin Black paint job, evoking Batman’s shadowy persona, accented by Batman decals on the front doors and massive R20 alloy wheels for a commanding road presence. Alchemy Gold highlights on the suspension components and brake calipers provide a luxurious contrast, while the “BE 6 The Dark Knight” badge proudly declares its elite status.
Bat emblems from the trilogy are scattered strategically: on hub caps, front quarter panels, rear bumper, windows, and rear windshield. The Infinity Roof features a distinctive design, and Night Trail carpet lamps project the iconic Bat signal onto the ground as you approach. A ‘Batman Edition’ sticker on the rear door cladding seals the deal.
Interior: Immersed in Gotham Luxury
Step inside, and the theme intensifies. A numbered brushed Alchemy Gold plaque on the dashboard reminds you of its rarity, while the charcoal leather instrument panel is encircled by a brushed gold halo around the driver’s cockpit. Suede-leather seats feature gold sepia stitching and embossed Bat emblems, extending to the “Boost” button and dashboard graphics.
Gold accents adorn the steering wheel, In-Touch Controller, and Electronic Parking Brake. A custom key fob, race car-inspired open straps with Batman branding, and a themed welcome animation on the infotainment screen enhance the experience. Even the exterior engine sounds are Batman-inspired for that dramatic flair. Ambient lighting offers 16 million color options, illuminating the interiors and Infinity Roof.
What the Experts and Fans Are Saying
Pratap Bose, Chief Design and Creative Officer for Auto and Farm Sectors at Mahindra, described it as “so personal, so visually arresting” that owning one feels like possessing a piece of cinematic history. Warner Bros. executives Vikram Sharma and Anand Singh highlighted Batman’s massive popularity in India and how this SUV taps into the country’s rising demand for premium electric mobility.
On social media, the buzz is electric. Fans are raving about the design, with one X user exclaiming, “If I had the money, I’d buy it cash right now!” Another pleaded with Mahindra to ditch the limited-edition tag, saying, “Listen to all the boys out there. We want this on the road!” Automotive communities on platforms like Reddit and Team-BHP are dissecting its features, praising the blend of pop culture and innovation.
Why This Matters: A New Era for EVs in India
The BE 6 Batman Edition isn’t just about gimmicks â it’s a statement on how EVs can be fun, luxurious, and culturally resonant. In a market flooded with practical electrics, Mahindra is injecting personality, appealing to a younger, tech-savvy demographic. With India’s EV adoption surging, this model could inspire more themed collaborations, bridging entertainment and mobility.
If you’re a Batman fan or simply crave a unique EV, mark your calendar for August 23. But act fast â with only 300 units, these Dark Knights will vanish into the night quicker than you can say “To the Batmobile!”
