Will the ADAS features of the Mahindra BE.05 be practical on Indian roads?
31 December 2024 09:39
The systems for India will probably have to be seriously tweaked. However, if they do it right, it could be a huge selling point. Can you imagine relaxing a little in bumper to bumper traffic?
Does the Mahindra BE.05's expected price tag justify an Indian brand?
31 December 2024 09:39
It's way overpriced. I would prefer to get a Hyundai or Kia, which is tried and tested for 25 lakhs. If Mahindra think they can charge that much, they're dreaming.

In fact, it’s not all that bad when you realize that it’s a proper EV with all the bells and whistles. You compare it to a Tesla, and suddenly it’s a bargain.

The price is fine but Mahindra needs to nail the quality. If you make it feel premium inside and out, people will pay. However, if it's just fancy tech in an otherwise so so package, it's going to flop.

I think it's smart pricing. It's not so expensive that it's unattainable, but it is aspirational enough to make you want to spend more money on less. This puts Mahindra in the premium EV space, a category in which it can now seriously play.

So let’s wait and see the final product first. If it can deliver on all its promises, and have that wow factor, 25 lakhs could be justified. Mahindra has to really impress to pull this off, however.
Is the Mahindra BE.05’s design too futuristic for the Indian market?
31 December 2024 09:39
I feel it's about time we had some exciting designs in India! It's going to turn heads and the BE.05 looks sick. Yes some uncles will find it too 'modern', but I bet the younger buyers will love it.

Nah, it's too much. What Indians want are practical, no nonsense cars. It looks like something from a sci fi movie. Good luck trying to sell that to the average family in need of a reliable SUV.

The move is bold but I think Mahindra's timing is good. The future is EVs, so why not let's design like it? That’ll help distinguish the BE.05 from the usual cookie cutter SUVs.

That sloping roofline makes me worried about visibility. It looks cool but can you see anything out the back? What about headroom for tall passenger? Practicality shouldn’t come at the cost of style.

Now let’s be real, most people buying this will be in cities where it will fit right in. Mahindra isn't targeting rural areas with this. I feel urban Indians are ready for something different.
Is the S Cross a car ahead of its time in the Indian market?
31 December 2024 09:20
Definitely ahead of its time. And if it were launched today, it would sit comfortably alongside the premium crossover trend.
Is the S Cross a car ahead of its time in the Indian market?
31 December 2024 09:20
I don't think so. It was just poorly marketed. Back then, Maruti didn’t know how to sell a premium product.
Is the S Cross a car ahead of its time in the Indian market?
31 December 2024 09:20
It was a good concept, but poorly executed. The market couldn’t afford the 1.6 diesel, which was the initial.

Safety and build quality were a bit ahead of their time. These aspects are just now being valued by the market.

The S-Cross was left stranded in no man's land, not an SUV enough for SUV buyers, too expensive for hatchback upgraders.

31 December 2024 09:20
Maruti didn't evolve it to keep up with changing market trends, I'd say it was right for its time.
Is the S Cross a car ahead of its time in the Indian market?
31 December 2024 09:20
Ahead by some parameters (safety, refinement), behind in others (no option to petrol at first, a conservative appearance).

The Brezza had to run, so the S-Cross walked. Maruti was able to understand the premium crossover segment better.
Does the Hycross’s ADAS system really help in Indian traffic conditions?
31 December 2024 06:24
Absolutely useful! No doubt, adaptive cruise control is a game changer by itself in highway traffic, but the lane departure warning has saved my butt from distracted driving at least thrice already.
