3. Does the Mahindra XEV 9e have a greater real-world range than the Tata Harrier EV?
Top-spec XEV 9e returns 55km more on a single charge
We recently compared the real-world range of the top trims of the Mahindra XEV 9e 79kWh with the Tata Harrier EV 75kWh. With a combined real-world range of 456 km (city 425 km, highway 488 km), the XEV 9e outperformed the Harrier EV by 55 km, with a combined range of 401 km (city 409 km, highway 393 km). Although the Tata has a faster AC charging time, the Mahindra SUV can also be charged more quickly using a DC charger because of its higher charging speed compatibility. The XEV 9e 59kWh version has not yet undergone real-world testing.

207mm
Unladen ground clearance of the XEV 9e stands at 207mm. From the lowest point of the battery pack to the ground, it is 218mm. Its dimensions are 4,789mm (length), 1,907mm (width), 1,694mm (height) and 2,775mm (wheelbase).

Three 12.3-inch digital displays each
As standard, all all XEV 9e variants feature three digital screens, including a driver’s display, a central touchscreen and a passenger unit. Each screen measures 12.3-inch, but the middle unit houses key car controls such as drive modes and climate control. The XEV 9e top model even features front ventilated seats, panoramic glass roof (fixed) with embedded lights, 16-speaker Harman Kardon sound system with Dolby Atmos and more.
6. Are software bugs common with the Mahindra XEV 9e?
Some have stated that the driver’s display is becoming blank and that the smartphone integration is failing.
In our review of the XEV 9e last year, we found the touchscreen’s user interface to be bewildering, despite the fact that it is sleek, sensitive to inputs, and filled with functions. Mahindra then promised that a beta unit was inserted in the test car and that everything will be resolved. Some users have also reported other software-related issues like driver’s display blanking out, non-responsive MAIA AI assistant and wireless smartphone integration failing.
