Mahindra XEV 9e PROS: 

• Very attractive and modern styling. It commands a strong road presence and stands out from conventional looking cars. 
• The interiors are spacious and seats are comfortable especially if you are travelling for long distances. 

• The electric motor produces 282 BHP and sends all the power to the rear wheels. It can achieve 0-100 km/hr in just 6.9 seconds. 
• The suspension is balanced with good dynamics and high-speed stability. 
• The 79 kWh battery pack is big and offers a real-world range of 450-500 km. This is more than enough even for long highway trips with family. 
• There is a large boot space of 663-litres available, which can accommodate big suitcases for your weekend trips. 
• The XEV 9e is feature loaded as it comes with 3 high-quality screens, augmented reality with head-up display, infinity roof with interactive lights, 16-speaker Harmon Kardon audio system with Dolby Atmos, selfie camera, UV filtration glass, and auto-park with remote car control. 

• It also comes with tons of safety features like Level 2 ADAS, 7 airbags, fatigue alert system, all-wheel disc brakes, ESP, front parking sensors, 360-Degree camera, hill hold, hill descent, & TPMS.

Mahindra XEV 9e CONS: 

• The rearward visibility is horrible as tall headrests and coupe styling restrict the rear view for the driver. 
• The interior has some cabin plastics which look cheap in an otherwise feature loaded SUV. There is excessive use of piano black in the cabin which isn’t to everyone’s tastes and is prone to scratches. 
• This car is super complex for the first time user as there are various niggles and bugs. 

• There are various concerns on Mahindra’s after-sales services as it will be very tough to maintain this complex car. 
• There are various missing features such as a cooled glovebox, no physical buttons for HVAC controls and lack of a full-size spare tyre (You get smaller 135/80 R18 space-saver spare), which limits your cruising speed to 80 km/hr. 
• The styling is very unique but overall subjective as it is definitely not up to everyone’s liking due to its coupe-like looks.
