I think it's a smart move. It puts the idea that only foreign brands make powerful cars to the test. It could be a point of pride for the Indian auto industry.

You're all missing the point. But this much power is useless if the car is too expensive for most people. It also means changing perceptions like making EVs available.

I'm looking forward to the performance bit worried about the safety. Is this much power on everyday Indian roads and drivers something that we are ready for?

And this could actually hurt EV adoption. They might begin to view EVs as expensive performance machines rather than practical and eco friendly.

We also shouldn’t forget that high performance EVs can be efficient. That could be a sign that you don’t have to choose between fun and sustainability.

What I’m more interested in is how does this performance manifest in the real world usability. The quick overtakes and merging would actually make EVs more appealing for daily use.

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.
Will the XEV 7e's AWD system turn it into a true off roader?

Off roading is great, but AWD is not everything. Before we get too excited we need to see the ground clearance and angles. Though electric torque could be a game changer!

99% of XEV 7e owners will never take it off road, let’s be real. The AWD is just for better on road handling and at best maybe some light trails.

I feel Mahindra's off road experience with Thar will work well here. Even if it’s electric, they know what it takes to make a capable off roader.

The problem is going to be the weight of the batteries off road. It will not sink in soft terrain, but will affect stability on inclines. I remain sceptical about its true off road potential.

You are forgetting about the ability to control electric motors with high precision torque. All this may render XEV 7e superior to the conventional AWD systems in some instances.

When off roading I am more concerned with range. In demanding conditions, electric vehicles lose charge quickly. If you can’t get back, what’s the point of off road capability?

The real question is how long will it last? Do the electric components work in water crossings, dust, and constant vibrations? It's what will tell us if it's a true off roader.
