•10wI am looking to buy a new 7-seater EV and am confused between the XEV 9S and the Harrier EV. I plan to go on long trips and am unsure whether to choose an EV or an ICE vehicle. I also prefer a car without a sunroof. Please advise.

Between the two EV options you have shortlisted, only the Mahindra XEV 9S gets a seven-seating configuration. It is good to drive, has a respectable real-world highway range, and its entry-level variants are great value for money. Do note that a panoramic sunroof is available across all variants of the Mahindra XEV9S.
Another impressive 7-seater is the Kia Carens Clavis EV. While it is more compact and doesn’t have the same road presence as the XEV9S, and its range is lower, as a seven-seater, it remains an excellent, no-nonsense choice.
