Mahindra BE 6 Batman Edition – The Electric SUV That Flew Off the Shelves

Posted on: 29 Aug, 2025

When automotive enthusiasm meets superhero iconography, sparks—and apparently instant sellouts—are guaranteed. Enter the Mahindra BE 6 Batman Edition, an electrifying fusion of Indian engineering and the Dark Knight’s legendary mystique. The World’s First Commercially Available Batman-Inspired SUV.

Mahindra, in collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, unveiled this limited-run electric SUV on August 14, 2025. It’s inspired by Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Trilogy and crafted from the top-tier Pack Three variant of the BE 6. Priced at ₹27.79 lakh (~$33,000), it was to be an ultra-exclusive model—with just 300 units slated for production.

The design hits the mark with a satin black exterior, embellished with Batman decals, gold “Alchemy Gold” suspension and brake calipers, and iconic Bat-emblems strategically placed on hub caps, quarter panels, bumpers, windows, and even the Infinity Roof. Inside, the ambiance continues with charcoal leather, gold-accented trim, and the Dark Knight emblem embossed across the seats, dashboard, boost button, and more. A numbered brushed-gold plaque adds a collector’s touch—making every vehicle feel like a piece of cinematic history. Powered by a robust 79 kWh battery, the BE 6 Batman Edition delivers an ARAI-certified range of 682 km and a rear-mounted electric motor pumping out around 286 hp and 380 Nm of torque.

The response was immediate and overwhelming. In just 135 seconds, all units sold out. Initially capped at 300, fan fervor prompted Mahindra to ramp up production to 999 units—all of which vanished just as quickly.

For fans: It’s a high-tech tribute to Batman, blending movie-inspired design with sustainable mobility.

For the brand: A marketing masterstroke—leveraging pop culture to create buzz and instant demand.

For the electric vehicle landscape: A bold statement that EVs can be both aspirational and collectible.

Whether you’re a Batman aficionado or an automotive innovator, this limited-edition SUV represents more than just a way to get around—it’s a mobile testament to fandom meeting future-forward design.
