Both EVs have been or are being perceived as futuristic vehicles by the customers, thanks to Mahindra's innovative approach. However, our main focus in this article would be the smaller BE 6, as I will pit the Pack Three and Pack Three Select against each other.
The BE 6 is available in five variants, which include Pack One, Pack One Above, Pack Three Select and Pack Three. All these variants differ in the features on offer, while the battery options for the whole lineup remain the same.

Mahindra BE 6 Pack 3 Select Vs Pack 3: Specifications
There are not many differences between the two in terms of specifications. The only big difference is the battery pack capacity. This difference itself justifies a big difference with a higher range. The Pack Three Select with a smaller 59 kWh battery provides a maximum range of 535 km/charge. The 59 kWh battery pack gets juices up from 20 percent to 80 percent in just 20 minutes (Via the DC fast charger). In terms of power figures, the Mahindra BE 6 Pack remains at 230 bhp (lesser than the Pack Three Select) and 380 Nm.
The Pack Three Select, on the other hand, comes powered by a bigger 79 kWh battery pack, translating into a higher range of 682 km/charge. This one supports fast charging up to 175 kW (similar to Pack Three) and does 20-80 percent battery level in just 20 minutes. Another major difference comes to figures here, which stands at 285 bhp, while the torque remains the same (380 Nm) in both variants.
