Is the Mahindra XEV 9e's coupe like design a hit or miss among Indian consumers?
Its distinctive coupe like design sets it apart from typical SUVs. The styling approach is quite new in the Indian market, and relatively new for electric vehicles. But it does make the XEV 9e look sporty and modern, and there are questions of practicality and appeal to the Indian buyer. Although this sloping roofline is strikingly unique in design, it will diminish rear headroom and cargo space. Furthermore, the Indian consumers have always preferred more boxy and upright SUV designs on account of their practicality and road presence. The XEV 9e's design also marks a change from the norm, and could prove divisive among potential buyers. It might be seen as a new and innovate way to be going forward with the Indian EVs, by some and for the others too unconventional or impractical for their requirements. The choice of this design could have a great impact on market reception and sales of the XEV 9e in India.
I think it's a hit! We all need some sleek, modern designs in India. It has a coupe like look that will appeal to younger buyers.
Miss for me. India is all about practicality, and that sloping roof is going to eat into headroom and boot space. Not ideal for family use.
Mahindra's a bold move, I'm not sure if India is ready for it yet. It might be ahead of its time for our market.
Love it! Finally, an Indian car that doesn't look like a box on wheels. Many buyers want something that will stand out on the road, and this will.
I'm torn. I love how the design looks but does rear visibility and how will tall passengers feel? Perhaps it will grow on people eventually?
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.
