What is the XEV 9e Pack Three's "Three for Me" finance program compared to the traditional auto loans?

Question

Introducing an innovative financing option for XEV 9e Pack Three, Mahindra has come up with 'Three for Me'. The customers can pay a fixed EMI for six years and then make a balloon payment at the end. The EMIs for the Pack Three begin at Rs 45,450, comparable to EMIs for lower variants. The hope is that this approach will make premium EV ownership more affordable by reducing the initial monthly payments. But it brings up questions about what the total cost of ownership is, how big that final balloon payment will be, and whether it’s even better than typical auto loans based on interest rate and financial burden overall. For some, it will be the smart way to afford a high end EV, while others may be wary of the long term financial commitment and the large end of term payment.

It’s ideal for tech savvy early adopters. It gives you access to cutting edge EV tech without tying yourself long term.

Piyush · Answer

It feels like a trap. And what if the car loses value more than expected? And you could be underwater on the loan.

Manish · Answer

I like the flexibility. If your income continues to grow over the 6 years, that final payment becomes much less daunting.

Jyotsana · Answer

It's perfect for businesses. And you can write off the payments as a business cost, which will lower your monthly expenses.

Shantanu · Answer

It doesn't add up for me. In the long run you will pay much more than a traditional loan.

Rahul · Answer

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.

Akshat · Answer

I'm skeptical. If you aren't ready for it though, that balloon payment at the end could be one nasty surprise.

Raj · Answer

It's a clever way to get more people into premium EVs. It feels more affordable since you have lower monthly payments.
