Mahindra BE 6 And XEV 9e Pack 2 Get 79 kWh Battery Pack; Check Prices

However, to ensure that BE 6 and XEV 9e are more affordable, Mahindra has included the 79-kWh battery pack in the Pack 2 variant of the electric vehicles. It appears that this shift by the brand is based on the consumer demand trend which the company has noticed since the introduction of both SUVs. Some time ago, the brand had reported to have received more than 75 per cent of all bookings in the costly Pack 3 variants, which in the longer run, were harmful to the sales volume.

The Mahindra BE 6 Pack Two that previously had a price of Rs 26.50 lakh (ex-showroom) gets reduced to Rs 23.50 lakh (ex-showroom) with the help of the 79 kWh battery pack. The same case is open with the XEV 9e, where the 79kWh battery pack has dropped in price by a substantial margin to Rs 24.50 lakh (ex-showroom) when compared to the XEV 9e on Pack 2. This version that comes with the 79kWh battery pack goes up to 500km range and 59kWh goes up to 400km.

Pack Two has two models that have a list of features, including Harman Kardon 16-speaker audio system with Dolby Atmos, full glass roof, and Level 2 ADAS capabilities. Owners of the XEV 9e will be delighted with a wide cinemascope triple display, where buyers of BE 6 can be spoilt with a race inspired digital cockpit. Also, Mahindra is using the sage leatherette interiors of Pack Three in the BE 6 Pack Two and an ivory roof color to enhance the new level of beauty.

These electric SUVs are created to store both performance and convenience in design. Their power output of 210 kW in the 79 kWh or 170 kW on the 59 kWh model and options such as Boost Mode makes them an exciting drive. In addition, the two models (BE 6 and XEV 9e Pack Two) are fitted with the superfast charging technology which allows them to have a 20-80 per cent battery recharging within 20 minutes when fast DC chargers are applied.

Honda cars India sells 5,124 units in June 25 with Flowering Indian Sales

Commenting on the sales, Mr. Kunal Behl Vice President Marketing & Sales, Honda Cars India Ltd. stated, "we too were able to see a moderate growth in sales in the month as compared to the same period last year, in the face of the slowing market conditions and anxious consumer psyche, we have continued to tactfully temper our dispatches this month to optimize stock levels in the dealer network." We continue to be bullish in terms of a marginal positive increment in demand going ahead in next few months aided by positive monsoon and festive season."

What is more, yet another 4 new SUVs will be introduced in the Indian market until 2030. Previously, the brand had confirmed that the Elevate EV will be the first on this list, but the manufacturer has since confirmed that the plans to introduce it have been thrown over board. Rather, a completely new electric SUV nameplate will be introduced in the Indian market and this will have a length of greater than 4 meters. We are eagerly waiting it to be the Honda e:NY1 which can be bought in overseas.

Moreover, few products could be also introduced in India by the brand through CBU route. But, there are rumours huffing and puffing around that Honda Civic Type-R could also make its way to the Indian market to competitively battle with Volkswagen Golf GTI, although in limited supply.

Top 6 affordable bikes with dual channel ABS in India

 

Most affordable bikes with dual channel ABS

These are the least expensive bikes in the country with dual-channel ABS, with a starting price of 160cc to the maximum of 250cc.

As rains starts to lash across the country, there is no better moment than having the safety net of two-channel ABS. Beneficial in both wet and dry, dual-channel ABS makes sure that no lock up of either wheel on the motorcycle occurs when brakes are applied hard and the motorcycler comes to a controlled stop in any condition. The single-channel ABS opens in a single delivery, and it functions on the front wheel, and hence you can lock the rear wheel even after applying hard brake thus the rear wheel is locked and this destabilizes the motor bike. Buyers in our market (where the use of rear-brakes is almost automatic), and more so those who happen to be the commuting populace, cannot dispense with dual-channel ABS as a mere safety feature, but a pre-condition. Provided that safety ranks high in your priority list, the following are six of the cheapest bikes available in the market today that receive dual-channel ABS.

Bajaj Pulsar NS200

Rs 1.52 lakh

The first one on this list is the oldest NS sibling the NS200 Pulsar. It provides everything the smaller, NS160 has to offer, only with a more powerful water-cooled 200cc (cc) engine. This goes by far the fastest bike on this list (it is also the same performance as the N250, at 24.5 hp) and also the only one that is liquid-cooled. The bike gets 2-channel ABS as standard and is available at Rs 1.52 lakh (the ex-showroom price in Delhi).

TVS Apache RTR 200 4V

Rs 1.49 lakh

The Apache RTR 200 4V is never short of features and besides the dual-channel ABS, it also gets three riding modes, fully digital instrumentation with Bluetooth connection, crash alert system, adjustable levers, and adjustable suspension. It has a dual-channel ABS as standard and the RTR 200 4V costs Rs 1.49 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). TVS recently launched a new top-spec model too with USD fork and reprofiled handlebar and priced it at Rs 1.54 lakh.

Bajaj Pulsar N250

Rs 1.44 lakh

The N250 offers the torque rich experience due to the oil cooled engine as compared to the liquid cooled engine in the NS range. That makes it a superior companion in non-strenuous situations. Dual-channel ABS is stock and the N250 is less expensive at Rs 1.44 lakh than some other small displacement two-wheelers in this list.

Bajaj Pulsar NS160

Rs 1.39 lakh

The second bike in the list is a 160cc too; the Bajaj Pulsar NS160. The ride on this Pulsar is slightly sportier too with a perimeter frame, an upside-down fork, raised clip-on handlebars, etc, and it also has a more aggressive design. This NS line-up does feel a bit older however and the likes of new-gen Pulsars (such as the N160) feel a tad smoother. The NS160 retails at an ex-showroom price of Rs 1.39 lakh (Delhi), and has dual-channel ABS as standard.

TVS Apache RTR 160 2V

Rs 1.34 lakh

The smallest Apache is the newest company to this list the RTR 160 2V. Recently it has been revised to meet the new stricter norms of OBD2B. In conjunction with this, TVS has also given safety by equipping the Apache RTR 160 with the dual-channel ABS. It should be pointed out, however, that the dual-channel ABS is exclusive to the top-spec model that costs Rs 1.34 lakh.

Bajaj Pulsar N160

Rs 1.33 lakh

The cheapest bike on this list happens to be a Bajaj product, and the list will also remain dominated by the world fast Indian. This is a witness to the measures put in place by the company to commoditize the technology and meet the masses. The Pulsar N160 will allow you to dual-channel ABS at the lowest price of Rs 1.33 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
