Took a proper test drive of the BE 6 today. Dealership brought the top-spec Pack 3 (79 kWh) to my office itself so me and my wife both could try it comfortably. We work at the same office.
Car drives amazingly well – super smooth, punchy and composed. Only small gripe some plastics here and there feel a bit cheap, but not a deal breaker.
I’m actually planning to book Pack 1 (59 kWh), but after driving the loaded one, 360 cam, ADAS etc felt really nice. But it is way outside my budget.
Question: is Pack 2 really worth the extra ~3 lakh over Pack 1 (same battery, same range)? Or should I just stick to Pack 1 and save the money?
People who skipped the higher packs, any regrets? People who paid extra, do you use those features daily?
I am planning a test drive for Creta soon, but I dont think the driving pleasure will be the same

If you don't want the 79 kWh, opt for pack 2 at 59 kWh as you get L2 ADAS. Irrespective of Pack 1 or Pack 2, BE6 scores over Creta when you see it from a Nuclear family usage standpoint. It is a drive

XEV is too big for us. And 79kWh battery seems like an added investment which will not be worthy for my requirements. This is my original requirement
