Is in car camera feature (XEV 9e Pack Three) cool or creepy?
09 January 2025 11:16
It could be a lifesaver in emergencies. If you’re in an accident, you’ll have instant video contact with first responders.
What is the XEV 9e Pack Three's "Three for Me" finance program compared to the traditional auto loans?
09 January 2025 11:16
For people that upgrade cars a lot, it is great. You can drive the car now and make the decision at a later date as to whether you want to keep it or trade it up.
Can the XEV 9e Pack Three's 175 kW DC fast charging make long road trips possible in India?
09 January 2025 11:16
Compare it to ICE cars. Yes, it’s slower to charge, but you’re still saving money and reducing emissions. Worth the extra time.
What does the XEV 9e Pack Three's rear-wheel drive setup do to change the driving dynamics from the norm of front-wheel drive EVs?
09 January 2025 11:16
It's also a concern for traction in the rain and snow. Most drivers in different conditions will find FWD more practical.
Is the XEV 9e Pack Three premium worth the premium over lower variants?
09 January 2025 11:16
It depends on your needs. If you’re a tech enthusiast who loves gadgets, Pack Three is a dream. The only problem is that for regular commuters, perhaps not.
Will the BE 6's 682 km range really hold up in real world conditions?
09 January 2025 11:10
Just remember that even if it doesn’t reach 682 km, the BE 6 still has fast charging. It’s not a deal breaker if you can charge quickly on long trips, and the real world range is just a little bit lower.
How does the BE 6’s ADAS stack up against systems in other established EV brands?
09 January 2025 11:10
It will have to be tested on Indian road conditions. This is a system tuned for our chaotic traffic and road markings (or lack thereof) and this could actually outperform the foreign systems here.
Can the BE 6’s Auto Park Assist feature actually be of use in Indian parking situations?
09 January 2025 11:10
The thing I worry about is people relying on it too much. What happens when it doesn’t detect a small obstacle such as a rock or a steep curb? In fact, it could actually create more problems than it solves.
Is the premium of the BE 6 Pack Three worth the cost over lower variants?
09 January 2025 11:10
The Pack Three is totally worth it if you can afford, disagree. The more impressive part is that 79 kWh battery, which completely eliminates range anxiety, and the premium features like ADAS and the panoramic sunroof really make the car feel like a premium product. You get what you pay for.
How does the BE 6’s in car camera feature stack up against Tesla’s cabin camera?
09 January 2025 11:10
What I’m more interested in is how this camera could develop in future updates. Could driver monitoring features be added later by Mahindra? It would make it more similar to Tesla’s implementation.
Is long term battery degradation going to be a concern with the XUV400's battery?
02 January 2025 05:54
I don't think it will be a big deal. Mahindra's done their homework, and while the thermal management system looks solid, it will be interesting to see how the whole car holds up. On top of that, NMC batteries have already been successfully used in other markets.
Does the XUV400’s single speed transmission limit highway driving?
02 January 2025 05:54
People overthink this. On the highway, the XUV400 has more than enough power. The single speed transmission not only keeps things simple and reliable, but crucial for a mass market EV.
Is the XUV400’s interior good enough to be a deal breaker?
02 January 2025 05:54
It depends on your priorities, I think. Yeah, if you're coming from a premium car you will definitely notice the difference. If you care more about EV experience and performance, then go for it. Plus, it's easier to clean!
Does the extra price of the XUV400 over the Tata Nexon EV justify its performance?
02 January 2025 05:54
It is great performance but I'm not sure it's worth the price difference. Tata has a little more experience in the EV game and Mahindra is still new. The Nexon would make me feel safer.
Is the lack of a sunroof on the XUV400 a big miss?
02 January 2025 05:54
In fact, I actually prefer not having a sunroof. It’s a weight saver, which is critical to an EV’s efficiency. Plus, it means I don’t have to be stooped over like I do in my Civic.
With AC blasting, how will the Electric XUV300's range hold up in real world Indian conditions?
02 January 2025 05:48
It will depend a lot on the driving style. If you are gentle on the throttle and use good regenerative braking, you could probably get within proximity of the advertised range even with AC.
Is the Electric XUV300’s infotainment system going to be a step up, or is it going to be more Mahindra software quirks?
02 January 2025 05:48
The real acid test will be whether it integrates EV–specific features such as range prediction and charging station info. And that’s where many manufacturers stumble.
Will the Electric XUV300 be more reliable and have lower maintenance costs over the long term than its ICE sibling?
02 January 2025 05:48
The Electric XUV300 will be a challenge to maintain, and I worry about finding qualified mechanics for it, outside of metro cities. At least the ICE version is something any local garage can handle basic maintenance on.
The Mahindra Electric XUV300 has been a long time coming, but is it worth the wait over the ICE variant?
02 January 2025 05:48
Nah, go for the now. How long do I have to wait for something that keeps getting delayed? You know what you're getting with the current XUV300, it's a solid car. India is still a bit of a gamble for EVs.
Will the handling of the Electric XUV300 be as fun as the ICE version or will the battery weight kill the dynamics?
02 January 2025 05:48
I've driven ICE and electric cars and honestly, the way EVs just deliver smooth, linear power is actually very fun in its own way. It may not be the same but it could be fun.
