Asked by: Avinash Baglaon Dec 1, 2025
Hi Autocar team, I own multiple cars, all diesel and petrol driven, but I now want to buy an electric car. My usage will be approximately 1,500 km per month. I have shortlisted the Mahindra XEV 9e and 9S, but am unable to decide between the two. I am heavily built with a height of 6 feet 1 inch. In your reviews, Nikhil Bhatia mentions that the suspension of the 9S is softer, so I am confused. Kindly help.
Both the Mahindra XEV 9e and XEV 9S are suitable for a big, built person like you. However, the Mahindra XEV 9S is set up softer than the XEV 9e, and there is more vertical movement that you will experience at higher speeds.
It is not to the point of discomfort, but something that you will notice. If you donโt need the third row of seats and are sensitive to ride comfort and body movements, the XEV 9e will be the better pick for you.

Hi sir, I own a 2016 Hyundai Creta 1.6 diesel SX with 1.17 lakh km on the odometer. I am planning to replace it with a budget of up to โน30 lakh. I drive 60 km on alternate days with a mix of highway and city usage. I want a vehicle with at least the same power and fuel efficiency as my current car. Also, should I consider an EV?
Considering your usage, an electric car makes a lot of sense, and within your budget, you have quite a few current and upcoming options. If you want something that feels familiar but is a proper upgrade in terms of tech, driving, and comfort, you can go for the Hyundai Creta Electric. It is powerful enough, has a good range, is creamy smooth to drive and is a well-rounded product.
If you want something larger with more range and performance, you can consider the Mahindra XEV 9e. It is more spacious, has a larger boot, a bigger battery pack that gives it a longer range, and it offers more tech as well.
If you are willing to wait a bit, the Tata Sierra EV is just around the corner, and a seven-seat version of the 9e named the Mahindra XEV 9S is coming as well.

I want to buy a new premium 5-seater car with a budget of around โน30 lakh. Mileage is also important to me. My average running is about 1,000 km per month.
There aren't any sedans or for that matter too many other vehicles at the Rs 30 lakh mark today. Your best options would be to look at an SUV like the Tata Safari, or if you are open to an electric car, you could check out the Mahindra XEV 9e or the upcoming Mahindra XEV 9S, which would give you more of that premium feel you want.

I am planning to buy an XUV700 in January. My monthly running is 600-700 km, about 70% in the city. I live in Jaipur, Rajasthan, and Iโm confused about the fuel choice. Should I opt for petrol or diesel? Please advise - thanks.
Considering your monthly running is under 1000km, and most of your driving is in the city, we suggest going for the petrol version of the Mahindra XUV700. While the diesel will be more efficient, it is over a lakh more expensive than the equivalent petrol variant, and with your limited usage, it will take years to recover that cost. Additionally, since around 70 per cent of your driving is in the city, there is a higher chance of facing DPF clogging issues with a diesel engine.
We would also recommend waiting a bit before making the purchase, as the XUV700 facelift is just around the corner. It is expected to come with updated styling, more features and possibly changes to the suspension.
Given your limited city running, you could also consider the soon-to-launch Mahindra XEV 9S, which is a seven-seater. We expect it to be priced slightly higher than the Mahindra XEV 9E five-seater, and it should carry the same battery size, offering a good range. With home charging, its running costs will be much lower than the petrol or diesel XUV700.

Asked by: Crisson Nov 24, 2025
Hi team, I purchased a Tata Nexon Creative+S (manual) 2023 model in December 2024 due to discounts. I recently drove the AMT variant of the Nexon (top-end) from Ooty to Masinagudi and back, and completely fell in love with the ease of driving it. Now I only want an automatic. I want to upgrade my vehicle and, with the advent of the Sierra, new Seltos, new 7XO, and the petrol Adventure+ Safari, what should I choose? Mostly the city use and highway once a month.
Since you are familiar and happy with your Tata Nexon, it's probably a good idea to stick with Tata Motors and check out the new Tata Sierra, which is launching tomorrow. It is a size and segment up on the Nexon, so it should feel like a considerable upgrade. This Tata car is also expected to come with larger 1.5-litre petrol engines, naturally aspirated and turbocharged, although the 1.5-litre diesel engine is expected to be the same.
The Mahindra XUV700 or XUV 7XO facelift is expected to gain a lot of tech from the XEV 9e and 9s, including a triple-screen infotainment system, but that aside, it should largely be the same.
Similarly, the Tata Safari petrol will gain the same 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine as the Sierra, but should otherwise be the same.
The new Kia Seltos is, for now, an unknown quantity, but it is expected to grow in size, as well as tech, which also likely means a jump in price. Hence, given most of your usage is in the city, we recommend going with the Sierra, as it will be a big enough upgrade without having to get an overly large SUV.

Asked by: Venugopalon Nov 20, 2025
I was planning to buy a Mahindra XUV 9e (EV), but I heard that the XEV 9s will be launched on the 26th of this month. Should I wait for the 9s or go ahead and buy the 9e now?
Yes, Mahindra will launch the new XEV 9S on November 26, and it's worth your while to wait for one.
To talk about differences, where the XEV 9e sports an SUV-coupe shape, the XEV 9S will have a more conventional SUV look. In fact, the basic stance will be very similar to the petrol//diesel Mahindra XUV700. The other big difference from the 9e will be the inclusion of a third row of seats.
How much space is there at the back, and how practical the last row is, are things we'll report once it is launched, so stay tuned.
In other respects, such as batteries, motor and equipment, the XEV 9e and XEV 9S will be identical.

Asked by: Abhishek Bhallaon Nov 20, 2025
Hi, I drive between Pune and Mumbai at least 16 times a month, with a monthly running of around 5,000 km. I was exploring an EV like the 9e or the Harrier for this kind of usage, but I still want to consider alternative options, maybe a hybrid or a diesel. What would you suggest? Iโm okay with a budget of 25-30 lakh.
If you are comfortable with an EV and have easy access to charging, the electric options are sure worth a look. Your running costs will be lowest with an electric car. The Tata Harrier EV and Mahindra XEV 9e are good options within your budget. We did find the Mahindra XEV 9e to be the more complete package. You can read the Tata Harrier EV vs Mahindra XEV 9e comparison article for detailed insights.
Among diesel options, the Mahindra XUV 700 AT is a good buy for your needs. It's got a strong diesel engine, a smooth auto gearbox and is generally a good highway car. The Tata Harrier/Safari AT are also good but don't quite match the XUV on refinement. You could also consider the Hyundai Creta AT. While it's not as punchy as the XUV 700, the engine-gearbox combo is really good and fuel economy is a highlight.
Hybrid options include the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara and Victoris, and the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder. There are also mid-spec versions of the Toyota Innova HyCross and Maruti Suzuki Invicto within your budget.

Great fuel economy is a given on the hybrids, but the drive experience on the highway isn't as satisfying as what you'd get on the electric and hybrid options listed above.

Asked by: Vikash Baliyanon Nov 20, 2025
I want to purchase a new car with a budget of around โน40 lakh to upgrade from my 2020 S-Cross petrol. It should be an EV with AWD. I am interested in the E Vitara AWD if it launches this year. Otherwise, among the Sierra EV AWD, VF7 AWD and Harrier EV AWD, which would you recommend?
The Mahindra XEV 9e is a better buy than the options mentioned here. The Maruti Suzuki E Vitara lacks the space in the rear seat and the features and premiumness of the Mahindra and Tata.
The Tata Harrier EV is good, but the XEV 9E does everything a bit better. The XEV has a bigger boot, better range, and also offers a nicer driving experience, making it the better choice.

Asked by: Akashon Nov 18, 2025
I currently drive a Baleno and want to upgrade to a safer, more comfortable car. My budget is around โน30 lakh. I need low maintenance and excellent ride quality. Monthly running is about 1,800 km (mostly city) with 1โ2 long drives a year. Iโm open to EVs - I test-drove the Harrier EV and liked it, but Iโm concerned about body roll and Tata-related issues. Which cars offer comfort and suspension at par with or better than the Harrier EV?
Since you are open to buying an EV, the Mahindra XEV 9e is a good option to consider. Ride comfort at low speeds isn't quite as good as the Harrier EV, but the Mahindra car does feel more composed at higher speeds. You can also read: Tata Harrier EV vs Mahindra XEV 9e road test comparison
Mahindra will also launch the XEV 9S on November 27. The XEV 9S has a more conventional SUV shape and comes with the flexibility of a third row of seats, in case that matters to you.

Asked by: Subiron Nov 5, 2025
I want to buy a new 7-seater car. My driving will mainly be in the city with occasional highway trips. I need a car with decent cabin space, good boot capacity, and some useful features. Iโm considering the Mahindra XUV700 and Hyundai Alcazar. Should I go for the XUV700, or is it worth waiting for its facelift?
The updated Mahindra XUV700 is expected to launch in 2026. While its silhouette will remain largely similar to the current version, several design elements are likely to be inspired by the XEV 9e.
XUV700 is already a very compelling package, so if youโre not in a hurry, itโs advisable to wait for the facelift, as 2026 is only a few months away.
