How will the XEV 9e fare against petrol powered SUVs on Indian roads?
Ashutosh 31 December 2024 11:03
On paper, the Mahindra XEV 9e has some pretty impressive performance figures, owing to its electric powertrain which can deliver its instant torque and quick acceleration. But in real world Indian driving conditions, the performance never comes close to these numbers. Influence of frequent traffic jams, varying road conditions, and severe weather conditions impacts vehicle performance day by day. Although electric vehicles like the XEV 9e often shine in stop and go traffic because of their instant torque, prolonged high speed driving or long climbs can be a problem. Also, the effect of using air conditioning, which is a necessity in hot climate of India, on the vehicle's range and performance is also considered. The familiar petrol SUVs Indian drivers are accustomed to will also be used to judge XEV 9e's performance. What it does with mundane activities like passing on highways, maneuvering through clogged city streets or trudging through rough rural roads will be key in forming public opinion of its true world abilities.

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.
