The EV Battle Heats Up: Mahindra vs. Tata
The quick success of the Mahindra XEV 9e and BE 6e puts them in direct competition with other popular electric SUVs. The Mahindra XEV 9e, with its unique triple-screen setup, is now challenging the Tata Harrier EV, which recently launched with an All-Wheel Drive (AWD) option.
While the XEV 9e currently comes with Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD), Mahindra have confirmed that AWD versions are planned for the future. This means the competition in the electric SUV space, especially between Indian carmakers like Mahindra and Tata, is getting even more intense, which is great news for buyers looking for more advanced features and options.
Pricing And Market Position
The Mahindra BE 6 is priced from Rs. 18.90 lakh to Rs. 26.90 lakh, while the Mahindra XEV 9e ranges from Rs. 21.90 lakh to Rs. 30.50 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom).
The Mahindra BE 6 competes with models like the Hyundai Creta Electric, Tata Curvv EV, and MG ZS EV. The XEV 9e, on the other hand, is a direct rival to the Tata Harrier EV and BYD Atto 3.
