It's a hit in my book. Yes, it may not be the most practical, but it's nice to see that Mahindra is willing to take a risk and play with design boundaries.

Miss. This sleek design might not make it in a country where road presence matters. SUVs need to look imposing, people want them to look imposing.
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.
Will the rumored 350+ bhp of the XEV 7e change perceptions about EVs in India?

That’s exactly what we need to get petrolheads excited about EVs. Electric doesn't have to be boring, and high performance will definitely change minds.

Now 350+ bhp sounds great, but let's face it, range and the charging infrastructure is so much more important in changing perceptions about EVs in India.

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.
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.
