Is in car camera feature (XEV 9e Pack Three) cool or creepy?
09 January 2025 11:16
It could be a lifesaver in emergencies. If you’re in an accident, you’ll have instant video contact with first responders.
What is the XEV 9e Pack Three's "Three for Me" finance program compared to the traditional auto loans?
09 January 2025 11:16
For people that upgrade cars a lot, it is great. You can drive the car now and make the decision at a later date as to whether you want to keep it or trade it up.
Can the XEV 9e Pack Three's 175 kW DC fast charging make long road trips possible in India?
09 January 2025 11:16
Compare it to ICE cars. Yes, it’s slower to charge, but you’re still saving money and reducing emissions. Worth the extra time.
What does the XEV 9e Pack Three's rear-wheel drive setup do to change the driving dynamics from the norm of front-wheel drive EVs?
09 January 2025 11:16
It's also a concern for traction in the rain and snow. Most drivers in different conditions will find FWD more practical.
Is the XEV 9e Pack Three premium worth the premium over lower variants?
09 January 2025 11:16
It depends on your needs. If you’re a tech enthusiast who loves gadgets, Pack Three is a dream. The only problem is that for regular commuters, perhaps not.
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.
