The two main competitors in India's electric SUV market are the Tata Nexon EV and the recently unveiled Mahindra XUV400 Pro version. Their performance and characteristics have previously been discussed, so let's move on to the more useful topic of their actual driving range. This article will contrast how well these two electric SUVs perform in everyday driving situations.
The Mahindra XUV400 EL Pro version and the Tata Nexon EV long-range are our competitors for the real-world range comparison. The XUV400 has a somewhat smaller 39.5kWh battery pack than the Nexon EV, which has a 40.5kWh battery pack. Their respective outstanding ranges of up to 465 km and 456 km are claimed by both.
Until the car batteries were completely dead, we drove both of these SUVs on a predetermined route in our test, simulating moderate to heavy city traffic and some interstate driving. When it came to stopping, the Nexon EV travelled 296 km, whereas the Mahindra XUV400 Pro got 256 km out of a single completely charged battery.
Let's now analyse the data to comprehend how each electric SUV performs in practical situations.
