Tata Nexon EV Vs Mahindra XUV400 EV: With rising demand for electric vehicles from petrol or diesel to full EVs, India today is busy hearing news about Tata Nexon EV and Mahindra XUV400 EVs. Both electric SUVs are pitted against each other in all aspects, befitting range, performance, and looks. So let’s see who’ll have better prospects by 2025.
Looks And Design
The refreshed Tata Nexon EV interfaces the feel of youth in its modernity with ever hotter looks compared to the earlier version; new LED headlamps have jumped on a five-star grille locked against sharp body lines. Further up is Modernity. The Mahindra XUV400, meanwhile, takes all the aesthetic traits of the XUV300 and gives it a copper and blue accent for the EVs. From a design perspective, the Nexon feels way more modern while the XUV400 carries all the looks of an already-existing SUV.
Range And Battery Performance
Now, the big question of range. The Tata Nexon Long Range variant comes with a 60kWh battery and a maximum range of 465-470km, whereas the Mahindra XUV400, on the other hand, is equipped with a 39.4kWh battery with a range of around 456km. The performance of both cars subjectively feels similar, albeit with a slight edge the terms of efficiency or smooth delivery of power in favor of the Tata Nexon EV when it comes to comparison with the Mahindra XUV400.
Charging Times Cut Short
Nexon EV charges from 10-80% in 50 minutes on a fast charger, while XUV400 takes an hour to charge fully. The Fiat has all modern comforts of ample space with a huge 10.25 ‘ touchscreen that comes with all-digital instrument clusters, ventilated seats, and wireless charging, so there is no contest here: Mahindra XUV400 touchscreen convenience, connected-car tech, and dual-zone climate control are good, but design quality-wise, it somehow feels to place the interior feel slightly above the newer Nexon. Both the Nexon and XUV400 will provide enough comfort for an entire family; nonetheless, the seating position and interior quality really favor the Nexon.
Safety Features
Both of these EVs emphasize safety features. With a five-star safety rating, the Nexon EV and XUV400 carry with them an extensive range of safety features, including six airbags, ESP, and rear park camera, among many others on ADAS, which should at least help with some level of driving comfort in the year 2025.
Pricing And Value For Money
While the expected price range for the Tata Nexon EV is pegged between ₹15 lakh to ₹20 lakh, that of the Mahindra XUV400 is estimated at around ₹14.5 lakh to ₹19 lakh. They are considered value-for-money products. If you want to get something extra in terms of range and features, then the Nexon EV would be your obvious choice.
Arguably, these two contend for best EV in the land. The point we concede to Nexon for looks, range, and more features; whereas, for value price-wise, it’s the XUV400. If one’s heart beats for pleasant design and cutting-edge technology, go for the Nexon; however, if someone wants a well-built EV with all the bells and whistles yet reasonably priced, then it’s a jackpot in favor of the XUV400.
