Mahindra has redone the safety structure of the BE 6 lineup. The older Pack One / Pack Two / Pack Three Select / Pack Three system is gone, replaced by a clearer set of variants: ONE, TWO, THREE, THREE+, FOUR, Launch Edition, FE and FE FOUR.
Safety equipment builds up steadily as you move through the range – starting with six airbags and stability control at the base, and ending with Level 2+ ADAS, five radars and a knee airbag at the top. Here’s what actually changes at each step.
What safety features come standard on the base BE 6 SPORTEQ?
The ONE variant isn’t stripped-down on safety, even though it’s the entry point. It comes with:
- Six airbags
- Rear-view camera with parking sensors
- Tyre-pressure monitoring with an in-cabin indicator
- A tyre inflator kit
- All-wheel disc brakes
- Electronic Stability Programme (ESP)
- Brake-by-wire technology
- An intelligent electronic brake booster
- ESP-based driver drowsiness detection
- Electronic parking brake
That’s a fairly complete active-and-passive safety set for a base variant. The driver drowsiness detection is worth calling out for anyone doing long highway stretches – though, like any monitoring system, it’s there to support attentive driving, not stand in for it.
What does the BE 6 SPORTEQ TWO variant add?
TWO is where parking and low-speed visibility get a real upgrade. On top of everything in ONE, you get:
- A 540-degree camera
- Front parking sensors
- Individual tyre-pressure monitoring (per-tyre readouts, not just a warning light)
- Manual drive video recording
- TEQ_Secure’s third-screen parental lock
If you’re parking in tight Indian city spaces regularly, the jump from a single rear camera to full 540-degree coverage is probably the most noticeable change between ONE and TWO.
Does BE 6 SPORTEQ THREE bring new safety tech, or is it just comfort?
Mostly comfort, honestly. THREE’s headline additions are a 6-way powered driver’s seat with memory, ventilated front seats, and mirrors that auto-dip when you reverse. That last one has a safety angle – it helps you see the kerb or a parking boundary when you’re backing in – but it’s really a convenience feature that happens to help visibility.
THREE also shares some exterior-visibility touches with the FE variant, like animated LED lighting and sequential turn indicators, which help other road users read what the car’s about to do.
Which BE 6 SPORTEQ variant gets ADAS?
THREE+ is where Level 2 ADAS enters the range, running on one radar and one vision camera. This is the point where the car starts actively assisting with things like lane positioning and adaptive cruise, rather than just warning you.
THREE+ also adds front fog lamps, cornering lamps and auto booster lamps – smaller additions, but they matter for visibility in low light or bad weather.
Worth repeating here: ADAS is assistance, not autopilot. Faded lane markings, heavy rain, or a camera that’s temporarily blocked can all affect how well it works, so it’s still on the driver to stay in control.
What’s different about BE 6 SPORTEQ FOUR’s safety package?
FOUR – along with the Launch Edition and FE FOUR – moves up to Level 2+ ADAS, now backed by five radars and one vision camera instead of THREE+’s single radar. That wider sensing coverage is the biggest jump in the whole range.
Alongside the ADAS upgrade, these top variants add:
- TEQ_Secure Secure360 Pro– live view, audio relay, and intrusion alerts
- Continuous DVR recording
- A knee airbag
The knee airbag is a straightforward occupant-protection add; Secure360 Pro is more interesting because it extends “safety” past the act of driving.
What does Secure360 Pro actually do?
It’s a security system for when the car is parked, not moving. Secure360 Pro gives you live camera views, two-way audio relay, and alerts if someone tampers with the vehicle – all through the Me4U app. Continuous DVR means the cameras keep recording even when you’re not around. It’s a genuinely useful extra layer, but it’s an addition to normal parking and security habits, not a replacement for them.
How are BE 6 FE and BE 6 FE FOUR different from each other?
This trips people up because both have “FE” in the name, but they sit in different tiers.
FE slots in alongside THREE – it gets Formula E styling along with intelligent adaptive suspension and 20-inch alloy wheels, but its safety package matches the THREE-level equipment, not the top tier.
FE FOUR, on the other hand, sits with FOUR and the Launch Edition in the higher equipment group. That means it gets the full package: Level 2+ ADAS, Secure360 Pro, continuous DVR and the knee airbag.
So the naming similarity is misleading – FE FOUR isn’t just a sportier-looking FE, it’s a genuinely higher safety tier.
BE 6 SPORTEQ safety, variant by variant (quick reference)
| Variant | Key safety additions |
|---|---|
| ONE | 6 airbags, ESP, disc brakes, drowsiness detection, rear camera + sensors |
| TWO | 540-degree camera, front parking sensors, individual TPMS, manual drive recording |
| THREE | Reverse auto-dip mirrors (comfort-led, minor visibility benefit) |
| THREE+ | Level 2 ADAS (1 radar, 1 camera), fog/cornering/booster lamps |
| FOUR / Launch Edition / FE FOUR | Level 2+ ADAS (5 radar, 1 camera), Secure360 Pro, continuous DVR, knee airbag |
| FE | Same tier as THREE, plus adaptive suspension and 20-inch wheels |
Don’t assume every BE 6 SPORTEQ has the same camera, radar or airbag count – the range is built in clear steps, and the badge alone (especially with FE vs FE FOUR) won’t tell you which tier you’re getting. If ADAS or Secure360 Pro matter to you, that narrows your choice to THREE+ and FOUR-and-above respectively. Always confirm the exact spec sheet for the variant you’re buying before signing off.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which is the first BE 6 SPORTEQ variant with ADAS? THREE+ is the first variant with driver-assistance tech – Level 2 ADAS using one radar and one vision camera.
How many airbags does the base Mahindra BE 6 SPORTEQ have? Six airbags come standard from the ONE variant upward, across the entire range.
What’s the difference between Level 2 and Level 2+ ADAS on the BE 6 SPORTEQ? Level 2 (THREE+) uses one radar and one camera. Level 2+ (FOUR, Launch Edition, FE FOUR) uses five radars and one camera, giving noticeably wider sensor coverage.
Does the FE variant get the same safety features as FE FOUR? No. FE is grouped with THREE and doesn’t include Level 2+ ADAS or Secure360 Pro. FE FOUR is grouped with FOUR and gets the full higher-tier safety package.
What is Secure360 Pro? A parked-car security feature on FOUR, Launch Edition and FE FOUR variants. It provides live camera views, audio relay, intrusion alerts and continuous DVR recording via the Me4U app.
Does the BE 6 SPORTEQ have driver drowsiness detection? Yes, and it’s standard from the base ONE variant – it’s built on the car’s ESP system.
