Mahindra XEV 9e is an Indian luxury electric SUV for the world | First Drive Review | @evoIndia

What do you think about the new Mahindra XEV 9e? Is this your next EV?

Yesss!!

gotta love Mahindra.. not only for their ICE engines but minimal part sharing.. they use 2 different steering wheel in these 2 cars.. thats just so amazing.. if it were Tata or any other brand for that matter, 99.99%, it would have been shared between the models

[@NemysisPrime]

So true... Not just the internal part sharing... Even the front bonnet of most tata cars starting from punch ev, Nexon, Nexon ev, harrier, Safari, all look the same... 😒😒😒

[@rajattrt]

How does that(part sharing) matter to an end customer. Is he going to buy both the cars from same brand? Part sharing is a smart, practical approach to cut cost and bring excellence in the product.

[@NemysisPrime]

@@rajattrt you're right, part sharing doesn't/shouldn't matter to the customer, unless the part sharing results in a common front fascia for all their cars...a common looking front bonnet in all their cars, common looking dull tubelight front/back drl in all their cars, interiors all look similar,no distinctions whatsoever... Parts sharing should result in tighter quality control because all share same parts and not much variations go into same components of different cars.... But here in Tata, neither the QC aspect is achieved by part sharing, nor are they giving distinctions between cars of different segments... All look the same..

[@cannotthinkofoneatth]

​@@NemysisPrimeI am not saying it matters.. I am saying it goes on to show how much the company cares to provide a personalised experience and product differentiation.. it just shows the company's commitment towards it's customers.. a customer who can afford a Safari would not appreciate a Punch's steering wheel, right? this with the hard to value proposition these EVs offer, I don't see the argument that it saves cost working here

[@AtharavGanjoo]

@@rajattrt not when you position it as luxury

[@bigbrawler7078]

tata really fumbled themselves by making the curvv have nexon's front and interior. the rear of that car doesnt compliment the front. Mahindra on the other hand has absolutely NAILED the design for these cars. they will eat up curvv like its nothing (coming from a tata fanboy)

[@anand.chaudhari]

Mahindra fanboy make more sense. Mahindra is far ahead of Tata.

[@bigbrawler7078]

@@anand.chaudhari bolna kya chahte ho? I talked about fair competition. No one's ahead of anybody. It's all about who can play the right game at the right time. Stop with the nonsense of superiority. Everyone's equal. Tata fumbled, it's on them. Mahindra scored, good for them. Stop the cringe childhood antic of fighting over brands and celebs

[@sohandesai818]

@@bigbrawler7078 it is a fact though. Mahindra products tend to perform better than an equivalent Tata. Nexon is the only exception in this case being a sub 4 meter product. Safari losing its sales to Scorpio (before it was discontinued Safari was sold for upto 3 lakhs cheaper than Scorpio), Sumo losing market share to Bolero, Aria losing to XUV5OO, Harrier twins failing to compete with XUV7OO, Scorpio N remains unrivalled. It's a fact that historically Tata has struggled to sell cars above the 4 meter segment. Sumo was the last volume churner for Tata while Mahindra kinda rules the D Segment b launching cars that could have rivals from even a segment above.

[@RaaghavRahul10]

Agree with you buddy. Tata curvv had its concept take people by wow. But they surprised and gave Nexon facelift the elements of curvv. And thats how they made curvv launch with already seen design elements of exterior and interiors.

[@bigbrawler7078]

@@RaaghavRahul10 curv should have had a completely different front. To most of the people the front is a turn off but the real looks so much better. I think rear of the curvv is still better than anything Mahindra offers at the moment. But you don't buy a car for just it's rear end. It's like saying you have the face of Aishwarya Rai but the body of an overweight person who never took a bath. Tata should make up for it with a proper facelift 2-3 years later that makes curvv its own vehicle rather than being a stretched Nexon

I do hope Mahindra earns a place as a reliable manufacturer. Their dealer chain and parts supply chain is very unreliable.

I don't think I've ever seen an illuminated glass roof concept on any luxury category vehicle in the world. Not even Rolls Royce.

Point of concern is how much hold and expertise Mahindra has on software and electronics. Its almost fully a software defined vehicle 😑

[@evoIndia]

The XEV 9e starts at ₹21.9 lakh (ex-showroom)

[@akshaymate954]

While the car is built great, I am worried about the after sales service and handling by the Mahindra dealerships. I hope Mahindra brings a dedicated dealership for EV at least in the major metropolitan cities because their dealership experience is reportedly very bad.

[@satyajeetpatnayak]

I wanted the grills of XEV90 to change. Obio I am gonna buy this early next year but the grill is what's bothering me. Be6e has better front look.

Please answer me the origin of the EV battery and the electric motor ?

[@moonknight3594]

company alrready mentioned they are using BYD blade battery ! they had battery deal before with german VW but volks wagon failed to committe them the number of battery packs they wanted so until 2026 there will be BYD blade battery

[@shouvikk1]

It is clear that Mahindra’s Born EVs have beat Tata’s 2 nd gen converted EV’s. I think Tata shouldn’t bother about launching another converted EV in form of Sierra. They should focus on the Born EV Avinya platform to launch a compelling product in late 2025/early 2026.

[@VinayakDas-ob8nc]

The current Tata ev line up is not converted they have separate platforms

[@xzee156]

15:28 the reason bcoz.. now, every other day a brand new "Auto journalist " is been launched .... 😅😅😅😅😅

[@Stronger_India_better_India]

Great work by Mahindra and the design team but what kind of review is this mate? You praise and criticize at the same time. Show me 30 seconds without your criticism. German cars are very nice to drive but don't you know how many times they fail and the cost of fixing it? Grow up and let the brand grow too.

[@josephjohn3307]

And the brand grows when people praise it for the good and criticize it for things that can be improved. You cannot just turn a blind eye on the shortcomings just because it's an Indian company.

[@242sathish]

Please don't publicize the 200 km/hr thing .. There are enough crazy idiots in our country to cause unintended consequence for😢😢 innocent civilians..

This looks and feels better than German cars now........before this car we could say germans did it better, but no more sorry plus factoring in the price, they are not even close !

[@arunps7719]

Whats the weight? With the higher energy density blade battery stuff, it should be slightly lighter than conventional ones. So why is no one divulging weight numbers? Or why isn't Mahindra telling them that?

[@vijaybhasker9478]

Basic model is 18.50, top model is 30 lakhs.

[@TPFFounder]

Mahindra think for the middle class so build it awesome car.

People with height will have a problem sitting on rear.

[@LiveTruth105]

Design is not so good. Just because it's an electric car, it doesn't have to have all those plastic which looks like it's been pasted on a toy. Car has to have a flow and running natural design. It should not look like different plastic panels and tool are stuck on it. Just see some electric cars from china.

[@Randomuser866]

Have you ever seen BYD cars they're also make such designs only

[@finehumanbeing3506]

The back is too sloping and hence uncomfortable for tall people and also feels a bit claustrophobic once roof is closed....which anyway we can't use most of the year in India. Another downer are the white seats which are extremely difficult to maintain in Indian dusty conditions. the roof lights are gimmicky and you wouldn't want to be ever using them unless you want to be branded as a chapri.

[@handyman7147]

Why the fascination with the white interiors in dusty India? It will be un manageable and an eyesore in one year. Change the interior color.

[@pprrps]

Not good , speed limit in India should be 120 max
