Mahindra XUV 400 EV Colours
Tata Nexon EV Colours
But it has its share of sculpted lines and sharp edges to give it a Butch character The Tata Nexon Ev jazer Styling exaggerated design cues and animated LEDs are certainly more youthful and look more modern in this comparison which one do you think looks better.
The Mahindra Xuv 400 Ev or the Tata Nexon Ev let us know in the comments down below like before the Mahindra Xuv 400 Ev cabin is really wellb built and now the two-tone color scheme the redesigned dashboard and the screens have taken its appeal a notch higher what I really like is that the instrument cluster is very nice very simple and very neatly executed.
The touchscreen is great to use the sensitivity is very nice and then the steering looks straight out of an XUV 700 and these buttons out here look straight out of a Scorpio n the seats in the Mahindra Xuv 400 Ev are really nice the cushioning is really comfortable and I think this one has the better driving position and overall the better ergonomics.
And just like the front seat the rear seat is really comfortable it is spacious and you can see it three AR breast quite easily the Mahindra Xuv 400 Ev boot is larger deeper and a bit more accommodating compared to the Tata Nexon Ev too bad you don’t get a parcel shelf in this 20 lakh rupees car but while the interior of the Mahindra Xuv 400 Ev are modified using parts from other Mahindra the Tata Nexon Ev Interiors are completely new and quite honestly.
These make a stronger first impression the colors the textures the big screen all of these certainly have a wowing effect compared to the Mahindra Xuv 400 Ev there are fewer physical buttons all of these are touch operable keys but the good thing is the temperature control and the fan speed are physical toggle switches but not all’s positive about the Tata Nexon Ev.
I’m not a fan of its cabin ergonomics blind spots are greater and our test car seem to be plagued with multiple software glitches most of these glitches disappeared on restarting the vehicle however these electrical Gremlins should have been sorted out to begin with another thing is the central console feels a bit too bulky and the storage areas aren’t as well thought of as the Mahindra Xuv 400 Ev.
The seat cushioning in the Tata Nexon Ev is a touch firmer but it more than makes up a comfort by offering the very useful seat ventilation feature and while on that topic let’s look at what features these cars have to offer back in the Tata Nexon Ev Space isn’t an issue in the Tata Nexon Ev there’s decent enough knee room there’s decent enough head room although this car is not as wide as the Mahindra
And if I’m being honest the floor is a bit higher than in the Mahindra so so you are seated in a slightly knees up position the Tata Nexon Ev 350 L boot is a bit smaller in comparison a quick glance at their spec sheets indicate that the Mahindra Xuv 400 Ev has the numbers in its favor with a more powerful motor the Tata Nexon Ev has a larger 40.5 KW battery and before you ask Tata and Mahindra have resorted to very different cell chemistries for their battery packs.
The oretically Tata Nexon Ev lfp Battery tech is set to be more robust and longlasting whereas the mahindra’s nmc battery is known to be more energy efficient to deliver stronger performance and range while these cars are too new knew to pass a definitive verdict on which is the better Tech to protect users from any unforeseen battery or motor related issues.
Both Tata Nexon Ev and Mahindra Xuv 400 Ev come with an 8-year warranty after adding ESP into the mix power delivery has become a lot Tamer and a lot more linear than the Tata Nexon Ev however it’s still a strong performer what comes as a surprise is how close the nexon’s acceleration times are to the Mahindra Xuv 400 Ev to despite being significantly down on torque.
This is down to the Nexon Eevee’s second generation motor that’s set to be lighter more efficient and spin higher than the first gen unit it replaces gone is the spiky power delivery of the Tata Nexon Ev instead its acceleration feels a bit subdued even if you stom the accelerator pedal it will roll off the line gradually and the motor will only deliver the full Monte once the car gains momentum.
So as to not spin a wheels and waste energy in addition the Tata Nexon Ev eeve offers the option of adjusting the regenerative braking via the paddle shifters with four levels level zero being regen off and level three being the most aggressive deceleration what the SUV doesn’t get is adjustable regen settings however if you prefer a one pedal driving setting it does get an L mode where the car can come to a complete halt without any driver input.
We tested their long range versions and while nowhere close to their claim figures in our real world range test the Tata Nexon Ev achieved 273 km while the Mahindra Xuv 400 Ev managed 251 km on a full charge as for charging both these EVS come with a 7.2 KW AC charger and they also support DC fast charging the SUV has an edge here as it can charge up to 45 KW while the Tata Nexon Ev Max charging speed is capped at around 30 KW which means you can top up the Mahindra Xuv 400 Ev battery quicker at a 60 KW or higher DC fast charger.
the Mahindra Xuv 400 Ev suspension is tuned for comfort so what you get is a soft and supple ride quality especially at low speeds and in the city and it’ll really soften the blows from the road shocks really well the Tata Nexon Ev chassis feels properly stiff so even though ride quality in the city is not as good as the Mahindra out on the highway.
This one rides flat and composed unlike the Mahindra Xuv 400 Ev which can tend to feel bouncy at highway speeds the Tata Nexon Ev steering is sharper too and in general the Dynamics of the Tata Nexon Ev are far more confidence inspiring so this is the car you want to drive in a spirited manner with the launch of the pro variants.
Mahindra has cleverly repositioned the Mahindra Xuv 400 Ev and now it is much more affordable than what it used to be just a few days ago even Tata has revised the pricing of the Tata Nexon Ev however the top spec Tata Nexon Ev is still pricier this cration of the Mahindra Mahindra Xuv 400 Ev is a lot easier to recommend buy it.
If you want a electric SUV performance is good Interiors are spacious low speed ride quality is good and it has pretty much all the features that you are looking for but with this facelift tata has move the goal post much further the Tata Nexon Ev is packed with tech with features with performance with range and the overall Drive experience is just so good and so convincing that even though the Mahindra Xuv 400 Ev comes close this one remains our choice in this segment.
