India’s First Yellow Mahindra BE6 Gives Bumblebee Vibes

The BE6 is part of the new-age electric vehicle portfolio by the Indian automobile giant

I recently came across quite a unique iteration of the Mahindra BE6 with a yellow wrap. Now, it is unusual for anyone to wrap their brand-new cars. Still, there are some automobile aficionados who go to any lengths to make their vehicles stand out from the crowd. Mahindra has gained a ton of praise for its two electric cars – XEV 9e and BE6. These fall under the two new sub-brands of Mahindra for its upcoming EVs – XEV and BE. The coupe electric SUVs possess a unique and distinct modern appearance. For now, let us delve into the specifics of this case.

India’s First Yellow Mahindra BE6

The specifics of this case stem from modzz.kl and yellowghost_6666 on Instagram. The visuals show a striking electric coupe SUV covered in a bright yellow wrap. The yellow colour makes the SUV look sportier and more eye-catching. Glossy black parts, like the bumper, side cladding, wheel arches, and bonnet, contrast well with the yellow. This mix of colours gives the SUV a strong and stylish road presence. Overall, this is one of the best versions of the Mahindra BE 6 I have seen recently. Digging this Instagram handle a bit more, I came across a yellow-ish Toyota Fortuner as well. Clearly, someone really likes this colour.
