Can India’s roads be trusted with the ADAS features on the Mahindra XUV.e9?
31 December 2024 11:18
It will definitely be a learning experience. If it’s first gen, that’s iffy but it’ll get better with updates and user feedback.
Will the premium pricing strategy of the Mahindra XUV.e9 work in the Indian market?
31 December 2024 11:18
I think it could work. People trust Indian brands more for after sales support and Mahindra's been upping their game lately.
How far and how fast can the Mahindra XUV.e9 go in real world Indian conditions?
31 December 2024 11:18
Range is only part of it; it's also about how fast it charges. But if it can charge quickly at highway stops, the range isn't as much of an issue.
Is the Mahindra XUV.e9 three screen dashboard overkill or a game changer?
31 December 2024 11:18
It's definitely overkill. Three screens is just asking for trouble. One good screen is good enough. More things to break and break your attention while driving.
The Mahindra XUV.e9's coupe-like looks: Will it come at the cost of practicality?
31 December 2024 11:18
Mahindra is taking a risk here. Typically, their buyers don’t care about style but space. However this might be too niche for the Indian market.
Is this the Mahindra XUV.e8's bold step forward in design, or a lazy electric conversion of the XUV700?
31 December 2024 11:10
I believe it makes sense to keep it similar to the XUV700. Why mess with success? People love that design. On top of that, it'll make the switch for buyers from ICE to electric a little easier.
Is the Mahindra XUV.e8’s three screen setup a game changer or just a gimmick?
31 December 2024 11:10
I'm a tech enthusiast and I'm all for it. The more screens you have, the more things you can customize. It should be great for road trips with navigation on one display and entertainment on another.
Can the Mahindra XUV.e8's all wheel drive system be a true off roader or just a mall crawler?
31 December 2024 11:10
I'm skeptical. Mahindra will not risk the battery pack, I doubt they will put true off road capabilities in an electric car. It'd probably only handle light trails at best.
Is the Mahindra XUV.e8 really competing with global EV brands or just playing catch up?
31 December 2024 11:10
And I think Mahindra's emphasis on ruggedness and practicality could actually be an advantage for them. Not everyone wants a delicate tech mobile that can't take rough roads.
The Mahindra XUV.e8's range will it be enough to cure range anxiety, or will drivers still be sweating?
31 December 2024 11:10
It’s mostly psychological — range anxiety. The people will once EVs are in use, and they will see that even 500 km is enough. It's about changing mindsets.
Will those advanced features like ADAS and AutoPark of the XEV 9e be practical in Indian traffic conditions?
31 December 2024 11:03
The problem is that I worry about over reliance on these systems. Indian drivers could get used to it and become more casual with their attention to the road.
What impact will the XEV 9e’s pricing strategy have on the electric vehicle market in India?
31 December 2024 11:03
This could be a turning point for EVs in India and if Mahindra prices it right, the company will be a winner. If you can make it competitive with high end petrol SUV’s people will definitely consider the switch.
What will the XEV 9e’s battery technology and range do in India’s diverse weather?
31 December 2024 11:03
Mahindra, I think, have done their homework. With a local manufacturer, they know Indian conditions better than a foreign manufacturer and hence, the XEV 9e should cope with our climate just fine.
Is the Mahindra XEV 9e's coupe like design a hit or miss among Indian consumers?
31 December 2024 11:03
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.
How will the XEV 9e fare against petrol powered SUVs on Indian roads?
31 December 2024 11:03
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.
Will the rumored 350+ bhp of the XEV 7e change perceptions about EVs in India?
31 December 2024 10:51
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?
31 December 2024 10:51
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.
Will the XEV 7e's AWD system turn it into a true off roader?
31 December 2024 10:51
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.
Is the XEV 7e’s dashboard too minimalist for Indian consumers?
31 December 2024 10:51
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.
Will the 7e's potential as a 7 seater come at the expense of performance?
31 December 2024 10:51
I'm more worried about range. In an EV every extra kilo counts. A fully loaded 7-seater configuration could have a major impact on the range from something like 120 to under 60 miles.
