Mahindra BE.6: An Electric SUV Navigating a Naming Turbulence

Mahindra's foray into the electric vehicle (EV) market with its "Born Electric" range has garnered attention, but the upcoming BE.6 has found itself in the midst of a naming controversy. This blog post will review what we know about the Mahindra BE.6 (formerly BE 6E) and delve into the trademark dispute that led to its renaming.

From BE 6E to BE.6: The IndiGo Dispute

Originally named the BE 6E, Mahindra faced a trademark infringement lawsuit from IndiGo airlines, who use "6E" as their flight code and have registered trademarks for it. IndiGo argued that Mahindra's use of "6E" could cause confusion and dilute their brand identity.

This dispute highlights the increasing complexity of branding in a world where alphanumeric combinations are widely used across different industries.

Mahindra's Response

To avoid prolonged legal battles and "unnecessary distractions," Mahindra has decided to rename the vehicle to BE.6. However, they have also stated their intent to challenge IndiGo's claims in court, asserting that there is no real risk of confusion between an airline and an electric SUV.

Review of the Mahindra BE.6

Despite the naming controversy, the BE.6 remains an important part of Mahindra's EV strategy. Here's what we know about the vehicle itself:

• Design: Teaser images and concepts showcase a modern and distinct design language, with sharp lines, a sloping roofline, and a futuristic aesthetic.
