How will the XEV 9e fare against petrol powered SUVs on Indian roads?

I'm sure it would smoke most petrol SUVs in city driving. But that instant torque will also be perfect for zipping through traffic and quick overtakes.

However, it will probably not prove as great a choice on long highway trips as petrol SUVs. Inter city travel could be real problem due to range anxiety and charging stops.

How it would manage our potholed roads and speed breakers is the real test. If the suspension is tuned right, it can be very game changing.

I wonder how it performs in extreme heat. Does it throttle power (rather than drawing all power from the battery) to protect the battery? In peak summer that could be a downside.

Given the nature of the battery, it'll probably feel more responsive than petrol SUVs, but the real question is how consistent that performance will be as the battery depletes.

Do not underestimate the effect of AC use on the range. In summers, it could make a huge difference in real world performance compared to the advertised figures.

I actually think it'll surprise a lot of people. Electric motors are super efficient and, with good tuning, could beat many petrol SUVs on a day to day basis.
Is the Mahindra XEV 7e's power too much for Indian roads?

I really like the fact that we're getting high performance EVs in India. We can't use all that power all the time, but it's nice to have for highway overtakes and knowing you have it when you need it.

350 bhp on our roads is a disaster waiting to happen, are you kidding? Most drivers can’t handle 100 bhp responsibly. It's Mahindra trying to win a spec sheet war.

It's not about running full power all the time. The better efficiency comes at cruising speeds. And it future proofs the car for when our infrastructure does improve.

What I'm more concerned about is range. That's all the power in the world if the battery drains too quickly. I’d rather have a more balanced approach that has decent power and longer range.

You guys are not getting it. In an EV, this kind of power is much safer than in an ICE car. It’s better in its weight distribution and more controllable thanks to instant torque.

But let’s be real, most buyers of this car will never use half of that power. It's just for bragging rights. Totally unnecessary for everyday use.

I disagree. It’s always good to have reserve power for safety. In emergency situations, it’s better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
Is the XEV 7e’s dashboard too minimalist for Indian consumers?

I love the clean look! We need to get away from cluttered dashboards. And it will be that much easier to keep clean in our dusty conditions.

Touchscreens are a nightmare to use while driving, no way. I’ll take the physical buttons any day. It's just form over function, with this minimalist trend.

It’s not about minimalism; it’s about adaptability. A UI can give us all the controls we need without cluttering the dash. It's the future, folks!

Ever tried using a touchscreen with sweaty hands in summer? Or with gloves in winter? This design is not suitable for Indian conditions.

I think it'll be fine. Nowadays, most people use their smartphones every day, so adjusting to a touchscreen dominated car interface won't be a big deal.

You're all missing the point. Distracted driving is the real issue. The more touchscreen dependency we have, the more eyes off the road we have. It's a safety concern.
