Questions you may find useful

•12w

Sir, how is the rear suspension and ride quality of the Mahindra XEV 9e Pack One and Two? I tested the Pack Three and found the rear seat very boat-like with too much movement both vertically and sideways, which can get nauseating for rear-seat passengers. Is the suspension setup in Pack One and Two any better? Should I instead go for the Harrier EV 75 RWD if I want better ride quality, or should I wait for the Sierra EV? I want an EV bigger than the Nexon, but I do not like the Curvv EV and was thinking of avoiding Mahindra because of the suspension. I tried the Nexon EV and new Punch EV and found their rear suspension much better than the XEV 9e and even the eVitara. Please guide.

What you felt in the Mahindra XEV 9e Pack Three is a fair observation. The XEV 9e does have a softer suspension tune, and for some rear seat passengers, that can translate into a floaty, slightly boat-like vertical movement over undulations, which can feel uncomfortable or even nauseating if you are sensitive to that kind of motion. As far as we know, there is no major suspension hardware difference between Pack One, Two and Three that fundamentally changes this character, so we would not expect the lower variants to feel significantly different in this regard.If rear seat ride quality and body control are a major priority, the Tata Harrier EV is the better option right now. It feels more tied down, composed and generally better controlled from the rear, without that excessive floatiness. If you still want to stay with Mahindra, the XEV 9e actually feels more balanced in this respect and does not have the same exaggerated bouncy character as the XEV 9S.That said, since you are clearly particular about ride quality and already like how Tata’s EVs are tuned, we would absolutely suggest waiting for the Tata Sierra EV as well, especially since its launch is right around the corner. It should sit in that sweet spot above the Nexon EV in size while potentially offering the kind of more settled suspension setup you seem to prefer.
