Smart Summary for Car Selection
Why Choose Tata Nexon EV?Why choose the Tata Nexon EV
- Two battery sizes of 30kWh and 45kWh are offered against the XUV 3XO EV's single 39.4kWh pack, so a buyer can size the battery to their commute.
- Its 45kWh version returns around 375km in real use against roughly 280km for the Mahindra, so a week of commuting fits between charges.
- It holds a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating, so its crash protection is confirmed under the current Indian protocol.
- Vehicle-to-load charging powers external devices, so the car doubles as a power source at a picnic spot or during an outage at home.
- An 11.6-litre front storage compartment keeps cables out of the 350-litre boot, so luggage space stays free for bags.
- Level 2 ADAS is offered alongside a blind spot monitor, so lane changes in dense traffic and long expressway runs both get support.
Why not choose the Tata Nexon EV
- Its motor makes 142hp and 215Nm against the XUV 3XO EV's 150hp and 310Nm, so it pulls away from a standstill less strongly.
- Its 350-litre boot is 14 litres smaller than the Mahindra's 364 litres, so luggage for four is the tighter fit.
- The 30kWh battery is tied to lower versions, so the smaller pack cannot be combined with top-end equipment.
- Its front footwell is cramped with few storage spaces, so feet and everyday items compete for the same room.
- Rear under-thigh support is compromised on the long-range version, so a passenger's legs tire on a long journey.
Why Choose Mahindra XUV 3XO EV?Why choose the Mahindra XUV 3XO EV
- Its motor produces 150hp and 310Nm and covers 0 to 100kph in 8.3 seconds, so pulling into fast traffic from a standstill is decisive.
- Dual 10.25-inch screens, a 7-speaker Harman Kardon system, a panoramic sunroof and dual-zone climate control mean the cabin feels a class above what the money usually buys.
- Its base version is well priced and well equipped on both features and safety, so a buyer at the bottom of the range is not left short.
- Its 364-litre boot is 14 litres larger than the Nexon EV's, so a family's weekend bags fit slightly more easily.
- Level 2 ADAS with a 360-degree camera is offered, so highway assistance and tight parking are both covered.
Why not choose the Mahindra XUV 3XO EV
- Only one battery option is offered where rivals provide a larger pack with more range, so a long-distance buyer has nothing to step up to.
- Real-world range of around 280km trails the Nexon EV's 375km, so an intercity trip needs an extra charging stop.
- Its interior styling feels dated compared with rivals, so the cabin looks older than its equipment list suggests.
- There are no ventilated seats at any point in the range, so a summer afternoon leans entirely on the air conditioning.
- It comes in just two versions, so a buyer has very little room to match equipment to budget.
- Its 39.4kWh pack is smaller than the Nexon EV's larger option, so the ceiling on range is set by the only battery offered.
Our Recommendation For Most BuyersWho should buy the Tata Nexon EV
The Nexon EV is the better electric SUV for a buyer who needs usable range and flexibility. Two battery sizes let you match cost to your commute, the 45kWh version's real-world range beats the Mahindra by roughly 95km, and a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating backs it up. Vehicle-to-load charging, front storage for cables and Level 2 ADAS with a blind spot monitor add genuine everyday value.
The trade-offs are pull and cabin details. Its motor makes 95Nm less than the XUV 3XO EV's, so it feels softer from a standstill, and the boot is marginally smaller. The smaller battery is tied to lower versions, the front footwell is cramped, and rear thigh support suffers on the long-range model. For most buyers weighing these two, the Nexon EV's range advantage decides it.
Who should buy the Mahindra XUV 3XO EV
The XUV 3XO EV appeals to a buyer who wants strong pull and a rich cabin at this money. Its 310Nm motor takes it to 100kph in 8.3 seconds, dual 10.25-inch screens with Harman Kardon audio, a panoramic sunroof and dual-zone climate control lift the interior, and even the base version is well equipped on features and safety.
A slightly larger boot, Level 2 ADAS with a 360-degree camera and 190mm of clearance round it out. Range is the real limitation. One battery option means no larger pack to step up to, and real-world range of around 280km trails the Nexon EV by roughly 95km. Interior styling feels dated, there are no ventilated seats, and only two versions are offered. For a buyer doing short daily runs with charging at home who wants the stronger motor, it works well.
