MG Hector EV vs Mahindra XUV700 Electric – Gone are the days when electric cars in India were limited to the hatchback format. The looming 2025 sees the high-end electric SUV segment getting into full bloom with the MG Hector EV and the Mahindra XUV700 Electric standing as strong contenders for the race. Both fairly successfully plied their petrol-diesel variants, and this does excite prospective buyers of the electric ones. Which one appears to be a more viable option in terms of family usability-performance and achievable range?
MG Hector EV
A more comfort-technology-oriented SUV, the MG Hector EV. It has a large pack supporting real-world range figures of about 450-500 km per charge. Famously good with premium interiors and technology, the Hector EV would also involve a large touchscreen, connected car technology, and smooth ride quality. The soft suspension on the Hector EV would be very comfortable for everyday use by families. Perfect for anyone wanting laid-back and comfortable driving in an SUV.
Mahindra XUV700 Electric
Mahindra’s INGLO platform is going under the XUV700 Electric for designing a dedicated EV. A powerful motor setup with scintillating acceleration will be its high point of attraction. Furthermore, it is anticipated that the AWD dual-motor variant will be introduced on the XUV700 Electric, thus adding an extra dimension to its performance and safety.
While performance and comfort on inclines might be this SUV’s forte, it would be inclined towards long drives on highways. On rough terrains and concrete roads, Mahindra will pour extra love, which would, in turn, appeal strongly to the Indian buyer.
