Asked by: Jayanth Reddyon Feb 23, 2026
Hi, I want to buy my second car with a budget of ₹30 lakh. I am confused between the Harrier Empowered 75 model and the Mahindra XEV 9e Pack Three. I have test-driven both cars. My usage is mainly on the highway, about 3,000 kilometres monthly. I need a reliable car with more real-world range and good service support. Please advise which of the two is the best option for me.
Both the Tata Harrier EV and the Mahindra XEV 9e make for very good highway cars. However, between the two, we would lean towards the Mahindra XEV 9e as the overall better package.
The XEV 9e feels more like a ground-up EV, whereas the Harrier EV is derived from the combustion-engine Harrier. As a result, the Mahindra feels a touch more refined and slightly more stable at highway speeds. Both cars ride well and are smooth to drive, but the XEV 9e feels a bit more rounded and cohesive as a complete product.
What really tilts the decision in Mahindra’s favour is the range. In our highway range tests, the XEV 9e delivered an impressive 488km, about 95km more than we achieved with the Harrier EV. For someone like you, doing around 3,000km a month largely on highways, that extra real-world range makes a meaningful difference and reduces charging frequency.
The Harrier EV does offer a comfortable ride and a smooth driving experience, and Tata’s service network is fairly widespread. But when you combine better real-world range, slightly stronger highway manners and the more purpose-built EV feel, the XEV 9e Pack Three comes across as the stronger choice for your usage.

I want to buy an EV for around ₹25-30 lakh. We already have a Tiago EV and Altroz petrol for family use. This car will be for daily commuting of around 80 to 100 km for work purposes and outstation family trips once a month. Home and office charging are possible, with a proper charging infrastructure available. I am confused between the Harrier EV and the XEV 9e. Please also suggest if any other option is available.
You already have a good mix in the family with the Tata Tiago EV for city duties and the Tata Altroz for regular use, so this new EV will clearly step up as your primary workhorse, covering 80 to 100km daily plus a proper outstation run once a month. With both home and office charging in place, you’re in the ideal situation to own a larger electric car.
Between the Tata Harrier EV and the Mahindra XEV 9e, we lean towards the 9e. It simply feels more sorted to drive. The ride and handling balance is better resolved, whereas the Harrier EV feels heavier and slightly top-heavy in comparison. That weight is noticeable, especially when changing direction or driving briskly.
Range is another important factor in your case. The Mahindra XEV 9e offers roughly 90 to 100km more real-world range than the Harrier EV, and that extra buffer makes a meaningful difference for your monthly highway trips. It reduces range anxiety and gives you more flexibility with charging stops.
If you are open to stretching within the segment, an even more compelling option is the Mahindra XEV 9S. It offers more equipment, more space and the added flexibility of a third row, which could be useful for family trips. The range is similar to the 9e, so you’re not compromising there. The only trade-off is that the ride is tuned on the softer side, and at highway speeds, there is a bit of vertical movement. It’s not as tied-down as the 9e or even the Harrier EV, but it’s not a deal breaker either.
Given your usage pattern involving high daily running and regular highway trips, range, efficiency and overall driving polish matter most. For that reason, the XEV 9e is the more rounded choice between the two you shortlisted. If space and flexibility are higher on your priority list, the 9S would be our overall pick in this bracket.

I have a 2016 Maruti Brezza manual ZDI+ diesel. I am really happy with the car, but I need to upgrade, as Delhi has a 10-year limitation on diesel cars. I have a budget of ₹30 lakh. We are a family of five (including a 4-year-old child), with mostly city usage. I am looking for a good driving experience, comfort, and value for money. I am open to electric cars and have test-driven the Mahindra XEV 9S, yet to try the 9E. I have read a lot about the soft suspension on the 9S and could feel the vertical movement. However, the Pack Three variant of the 9S has more features compared to the 9E, such as electric seat adjustment for co-passengers, seven seats, rear ventilated seats, and is cheaper by a couple of lakhs. I am confused, as I do not want to spend ₹30 lakh and regret it later. My mother did not like the Harrier EV, so that is out of consideration. My running is around 500km a month.
The Mahindra XEV 9S is, in many ways, is a clean and logical upgrade from your Maruti Suzuki Brezza diesel. For a family of five, the flexibility of three-row seating is genuinely useful, even if you don’t use the third row daily.
As you rightly pointed out, the Pack Three variant of the Mahindra XEV 9S is very well equipped and, in fact, offers more features than the 9E Pack Three, like the co-passenger electric seat adjustment, rear ventilated seats and the added practicality of seven seats. Given that it’s also a couple of lakhs cheaper than the comparable Mahindra XEV 9e variant, from a pure value perspective, the 9S Pack Three does look more compelling.
On the suspension, yes, the 9S is tuned on the softer side, but it's not a deal-breaker. You do feel a bit of vertical movement, especially at highway speeds over undulations, and that’s probably what you sensed during the test drive. However, in daily city use (which is the bulk of your 500), a softer setup at low speeds can actually work in your favour, better absorbing potholes and broken patches.
Importantly, Mahindra has responded to feedback by introducing a ‘Custom’ drive mode, which lets you choose a sportier or stiffer suspension setting while keeping steering and power delivery in Comfort. That flexibility helps tailor the car to your preference.
Since your usage is just around 500 km a month and mostly in the city, an electric car makes strong sense. Just ensure you have convenient home charging, that’s key to a stress-free EV ownership experience.

Asked by: Adityaon Feb 7, 2026
Is buying a diesel car or an EV more cost-effective in the long term?
In terms of running costs, an EV is certainly better than a diesel in the long run. Especially so if you charge mostly at your home and limit public charging, which is more expensive.
However, you would also have to factor in resale value. If you are planning to sell your car, say in about 4 to 5 years, an EV could potentially have a significantly lower residual value than a diesel, as the used market for EVs is yet to be established and values set.

I have range anxiety about buying the Mahindra XEV 9E. Should I buy the Toyota Innova Hycross ZX(O) or the Innova Hycross Exclusive Edition? Please advise.
If you are worried about the range on any EV, then it's best to stay away. An EV only makes sense if you have provision for charging at your home or place of work, and if your long runs can be done with ideally none, to no more than one stop to charge.
We tested the larger battery (79kWh) Mahindra XEV9e in our standard test cycle, and it showed a range of 456 kms in the mixed city and highway cycle. Thus, if your long trips are around 300 to 350 kms with not too many inclines and a lot of load in the car, you should be fine for a stop-free trip.
If this proves to be a problem for you, opt for the Toyota Innova HyCross. As for your query about the Exclusive edition, we don't think it will be available at dealers, as it was supposed to be a limited run. In any case, the differences were mostly cosmetic, with only an air purifier, a wireless charger, and a footwell lamp being the added equipment.

I currently own a 2014 XUV500 and am planning to upgrade. My monthly usage is around 2,000km, with about 5-6 long trips every year. I am confused between the XEV 9S, XUV 7XO and Tata Sierra (turbo-petrol), as all are similarly priced. A five-seater SUV is also fine. Please suggest a better option and explain why.
If you can account for home charging, the Mahindra XEV 9S will be the ideal choice for you, not only from a tech and features point of view, but also being an electric vehicle. You will significantly benefit from lower running costs than any comparable ICE-powered vehicle.
This electric car is smooth to drive, acceleration is strong, and you can easily expect around 400-450km on a single charge, which is impressive. Do keep in mind that the suspension is overly soft, hence it does move around a bit, especially on long drives, and for that reason, we'd recommend you look at the Mahindra XEV 9e instead, which is a 5-seater, has a far better suspension tune, and with good discounts ongoing, you could get a mouth-watering deal on it.

My budget is ₹30 to 35 lakh, and I prefer a diesel vehicle. Which is the best car available in this price range?
There aren't all that many diesel cars in your budget. Of the ones on sale, it's the Mahindra XUV 7XO AWD AT that comes across as the most complete. It's got a very nice diesel engine, a smooth automatic gearbox, and also gets the added ability of all-wheel drive. The updated interior also packs in loads of tech, though the over-reliance on the touchscreen takes getting used to.
Among the other diesel options, there's the Jeep Meridian. While a more premium product than the XUV 7XO in many ways, its gentler engine tune and slow-shifting gearbox take some fun away from the driving experience. The Meridian does score with a tough feel, but you'll need to go out of budget for all-wheel driver versions.
If you are open to electric, the Mahindra XEV 9e and XEV 9S are worth a look. Built on Mahindra's new-age EV architecture, they score high for power, refinement, and range. The 9e is the better of the two to drive thanks to a better suspension setup, while the 9S is more practical with a third row of seats.

Asked by: Subraon Jan 9, 2026
I am planning to buy the XEV 9e Pack 3 with the 79kWh battery. I am a heavy-footed driver and tend to drive aggressively. Performance is the main reason I am considering this car. However, I saw a review where the XEV 9e was driven at around 170kph for about eight minutes, after which the power dropped by 14% from the initial. If performance is my priority and I am not concerned about range, should I still go for it? I am scared that it may underperform a lot after driving at excessive speeds for a long time.
Don’t be alarmed by the video you saw. All electric cars discharge very fast when driven at speed. And a fast discharge also heats up the battery and motor, so to protect the hardware, the battery management system (BMS) cuts the power, which explains the 14% drop you noticed.
Because of aerodynamic drag, speed is the biggest enemy of range, and there is an exponential drop the faster you go. For example, if you drive at 160-170kph, the batteries will discharge 2.5 to 3 times faster than if you were driving at 90-100kph.
Even EVs with large batteries can lose charge at the rate of 1-2% per minute with hard and sustained high-speed driving.
So if all you want is performance and don’t care about range, the Mahindra XEV 9e in Race mode is very quick for short bursts of acceleration to overtake and fast highway runs. But no EV will give you full peak power indefinitely at extreme speeds.
It all depends on how the BMS is calibrated, but after sustained high-speed driving, expect a drop in power, which is normal for an EV and not a flaw of the 9e specifically.

My current car, a 2017 Maruti S‑Cross 1.3 Alpha (diesel), is not listed in the form above. I am thinking about selling it if I get a good resale value and buying a new vehicle. My driving is predominantly city-based (20-22 km per day) with occasional longer trips of 100+ km once every 2-3 months. I am confused about choosing between an EV and an ICE vehicle for my use case. Online ROI calculations seem to favour ICE in the long run (for example, XEV 9E vs Sierra turbo petrol). Can you please help me with a suggestion and practical considerations? Thank you.
The two cars which you are considering, the Mahindra XEV 9E and Tata Sierra Turbo-petrol, overlap in terms of pricing. Hence, the decision-making of whether to go for one or another is purely based on your personal choice.
An XEV 9E is larger in size, has a large battery and strong motor, and it will deliver a more enjoyable drive experience, being quicker, smoother and quieter.
Your running costs will be significantly lower than those of an ICE vehicle, even more so if you charge your car at your residence/office. At a similar price, you are likely to get a lower or mid-level variant (after discounts) of the XEV 9E. They are well-equipped but will have a few, feel-good features missing, compared to the top-spec Sierra.
Moreover, with the bigger battery, the Mahindra's real-world range of over 400km is very impressive too. Its charging speeds are very quick, too, adding to the peace of mind for highway drives. Hence, if you are open to EVs, the XEV 9E is the one to go for.

Hi, I currently drive a Jeep Compass and want to upgrade. My budget is ₹30 lakh. What options do I have?
The Mahindra XUV 7XO will be a good upgrade for you. Both engines, turbo-petrol and diesel, deliver strong performance and are smooth and refined. Both are also available with 6-speed manual or automatic gearbox options. The driving manners are excellent, and with all the latest in terms of tech and features, the XUV 7XO feels thoroughly modern. You also get the flexibility of a third row of seats, should you need to ferry 6 or 7 passengers.
A Tata Safari is also a good alternative to the XUV 7XO. You may also consider EV options like the Mahindra XEV 9e or Tata Harrier EV.
