Does the extra price of the XUV400 over the Tata Nexon EV justify its performance?
02 January 2025 05:54
I disagree. The Nexon EV has a proven reliability and a wider service network. However, most users will find this overkill and not worth the premium.
Is the lack of a sunroof on the XUV400 a big miss?
02 January 2025 05:54
It is a huge miss not to have a sunroof. Every premium car should have one, it's 2024. It’s not just for using it, it contributes to the whole feel of the car.

I don’t care about sunroofs, honestly. In India's heat they're useless and just another thing that can break. It would be better to have the better range and performance.

It’s not a deal breaker, but it does take some of the air of luxury out of the car. At least, Mahindra should have offered it as an option on the top variant.

In fact, I actually prefer not having a sunroof. It’s a weight saver, which is critical to an EV’s efficiency. Plus, it means I don’t have to be stooped over like I do in my Civic.

It's disappointing to not have a sunroof. That’s not about practicality, it’s about being able to have the option. The whole thing makes the car feel dated versus rivals.

Sunroofs are something people are way too hung up on. When it comes to an EV, performance and range are way more important than looks. Mahindra deserves kudos for getting things right.

I feel it is a missed opportunity. Considering that the cabin quality is on the receiving end of a lot of criticism, a sunroof would've made the interior feel more spacious and premium.
With AC blasting, how will the Electric XUV300's range hold up in real world Indian conditions?
02 January 2025 05:48
With AC on full blast, I bet the real world range will be closer to 300 km. Not as impressive as claimed 400+, but still decent.

It will depend a lot on the driving style. If you are gentle on the throttle and use good regenerative braking, you could probably get within proximity of the advertised range even with AC.

No EV does its claimed range in Indian conditions, let’s be real. In summer I'd expect a 30-40% drop.

Mahindra might surprise us. They have been testing these cars in Indian conditions extensively, so perhaps they have tuned the battery and AC system for our climate.

02 January 2025 05:48
Sure, even if it only makes 250–300 km with AC that’s still plenty for daily use. In any case, most people don’t drive that much in a day.

02 January 2025 05:48
The real question is how it will do on highway trips. Regen might be fine for city driving, but doing constant high speed cruising with AC could really kill your range.

What I am more concerned about is how the range is going to degrade over time. After a few Indian summers will it still deliver decent range?
Is the Electric XUV300’s infotainment system going to be a step up, or is it going to be more Mahindra software quirks?
02 January 2025 05:48
I'm not holding my breath. Mahindra has always been weak at software. I expect this to be a fancy looking system that will be buggy as hell for the first year.

They might surprise us. Mahindra's been investing heavily in tech, and the XUV700's system was a big step up. They could really show off with the Electric XUV300.

They could even improve it with OTA updates, even if it’s not perfect at launch. The question is, will Mahindra actually deliver those updates on a regular basis?

I worry more about the basics. Just give me a system which doesn't lag and crash and I'll be happy. Fancy features are secondary.

They should partner with a tech company and use the existing system, such as Android Automotive. We don’t need to reinvent the wheel.
