    Car looks great.
    However;
    1. Rear head room
    2. Rearward visibility (IRVM)
    3. Can M&M manage the servicing of these new age cars in their existing dealer workshops?
    4. As it is there is a lot of stress on their capacity as one can see.
    5. Will there be enough spares availability?
    6. Knowledge transfer, Skills, Technical knowhow for proper service consultation at the centres.

    Personally what i think is. Having 285 bhp rwd at 25lkh is enough to give it 10 out 10 rating rest in just a bonus. Specially in India where people don't even know the power of rwd cars. For 285bhp one hv to spend atleast 65lkh of ₹.

    • @insolidusyt

      No his question was why have a "e" after the 9 when you're already calling it "XEV" instead of "XUV". It sounds redundant.

    @dinesh2006kumar 12 дней назад

    Is India misallocating its resources by prioritizing EVs? The current push seems heavily influenced by the investments of giants like Tata and Mahindra in EV manufacturing. However, does this truly align with India's needs and infrastructure readiness? A more pragmatic approach could have been investing in hybrid technology, which offers a balanced transition. Competing head-to-head with pioneers like Toyota in this space might have been a more sustainable and strategic move for India's automotive future.

    • @MrRahulKumarKandula

    Any car with white interiors is automatically a NO for me, especially when you can't change seat leather in cars with 6 or more airbags (they void warranty and risk of airbags not deploying is higher). Mahindra really must be getting these white leather cheap since they even put it in a THAR.

    Why does an EV need a Neutral?
    And why that awkward full size head rest in the middle seat? Blocks rear view all the time. It's not that Mahindra doesn't know about it - just look at the 6E's middle seat head rest. The two are extremes.
    Have got a feeling the back seat is lifted straight out of the xuv 700
