The Mahindra XUV400 electric SUV, the Tata Nexon EV's arch enemy, has some very impressive qualities. But the last time around, it also felt a bit unfinished. Kartikeya and Shumi are discussing whether the updated 2024 model feels more complete.

Not sure about the 24-30k kms per year logic. Petrol cars cost ~ ₹8 per km whereas EVs cost ₹1-2 per km. So even in the worst case scenarios it takes 50000 kms to make up the extra cost (including savings from service costs). Considering mass market owns cars for 5 years on average, one needs to drive not more than 10-12k kms per year which equates to ~1000 kms per month. I’m an EV user for the last 3.5 years and you can trust me with these facts

Great episode. Regarding the last point that Shumi mentioned on an alternative way of replying to comments - one option can be to use a Natural Language Processing model to group similar questions together and answering them once. The same can be done for feedback (both positive and negative, especially positive). The added benefit is that viewers will have all the questions and answers in one place.

Karthik sir the way your spot-on about 400's traction control and wheel spinning problem is .....Uff!. Here's the story. One of my friend got a XUV 400 from the first batch last year. One night he got into an accident with a Range rover. I'm like its a different league car...why? He said the acceleration was so exhilarating he felt confident racing that car. Exactly like you said he ran out of control in a corner with some sand, hit the range rover and they both hit the divider, half of the XUV 400's body got damaged bad (I'm surprised how it got 5 stars, front axle and 2 wheels popped out). Range rover got only 2 of its panels damaged. He was in shock himself, he said in the first 2 months it seemed in control but something weird happened that night of the accident.

@sundarsubramaniam7274 3 месяца назад

Here is one topic I would like you guys to talk about. The lack of 7 seater SUVs with side-facing third row seats that come with an automatic transmission. Why is this important? Because I own a TUV 300 AMT version and I'm finding it incredibly difficult to replace it. Side-facing third row seats provide an independent door for third row passengers to get in and out of the car without disturbing second row passengers. When you have a single passenger on the third row containing side-facing seats, that person gets to stretch their legs like they're on a bed. In conclusion, I would say that unless you put tall people in them (you shouldn't be putting tall people in any third row to begin with), side facing third row seats are superior to front facing third row seats. An automatic transmission option on such a vehicle provides added convenience. The only vehicles that offer side-facing third row seats anymore are the Bolero, Bolero Neo and the Scorpio Classic and unfortunately, none of them provide an automatic transmission option anymore.

As far as the previous owners are concerned, I have many friends who have bought the "pre feature version" the good part was that they got a heavy discount on the top end variant at that time(long range model) many of them got it for around 16.5 lakhs including the fast charger and fair deal of accesories

Booked the 39.4 kwh battery pack model and waiting for delivery. Believe me, it is way better than previous version. It is way more comfortable than Nexon for a person of my built. I was never in for EV vehicles but after driving this and looking at it’s practicality I went in for this. Plus at this price range we don’t get much of a vehicle except shoddy maruti and hyundai vehicles. I somewhat like the basic stuff which really works in long term. It has cruise control, traction control, rear AC vents, sunroof, 6 airbags, wireless charger and not to forget a very usable boot. Rest I hope this decision is not wrong as it is my first car 😅

@asifzbaig 3 месяца назад

One important thing that's missed in this otherwise great discussion was the battery pack chemistry used in XUV400 and its difference with what we get in Nexon EV. XUV uses Ni-MH (also known as NMC) type battery pack, which is cheaper to produce, have less longevity (charge cycles), self-discharges even at no use (for longer durations) and less secure overall as it is more likely to experience thermal runaway. On the other hand, Nexon uses LFP batteries which is indeed less environmental friendly (contains toxic elements such as cadmium) but in the vehicle they can perform better even after years of abuse and after many charge-cycles. .They don't discharge without a power draw for longer durations and is a safer option as well.

Bought the XUV400 EL Pro two weeks ago. Have owned and driven a Tesla model Y for over a year so I have lived the life of an EV owner. The space inside is just very practical and the performance of the car in “fun” mode is adequate. It makes a lot of sense to drive this car here in Bangalore with adequate charging infrastructure. Finally, I actually like the light steering wheel for a city car like this. Really helps be nimble in this stop start traffic. Where I feel they still have to do a lot more is the QA on the units. My drive mode switch was faulty from the time of delivery and is still not fixed. I am giving them the benefit of the doubt however i am patiently waiting for them to fix it with new switches. The OTA with CarPlay and adaptive reverse guidelines are also still just promises with no ETA Adrenox is no where close to being a finished product in itself, for me, this has been the biggest let down. ( remember my reference is a Tesla)

Or about 15 liters of petrol (that will take you about 200km on the Turbo Petrol) 250km in 1 month is all it takes for it to become economically viable in month#1. How do you say that it will take 100km/day? And remember that this is for a larger car than the XUV300. Do explain this one.

A while back there was a media blitz of many prominent channels doing review of Nexon Vs 400, all of them recommended Nexon at the end but it was quite evident that they were really promoting and making a case for 400 by giving it more air time in the video. You didn't just give an honest review but also talked about EV purchase dilemmas which needs a deeper conversation. My everyday commute is 70 km, 5 days a week, will EV make sense?

@motorinc 3 месяца назад

That’s 1400km a month. Not in the sweet spot… so is it a lifestyle choice? 😁

@abhinavraj1001 3 месяца назад

Definitely go ahead brother. I drive around 2,000kms a month. Now I'm at 12,000km exactly after 6months. In my calculations by 5years I would cover the car cost entirely. 😂 I drive Tiago EV. Go ahead.. 👍

@motorinc i have drive of 60 kms a day . Booked kushaq ambition model. But sir you think hybrid should be my choice..? N if yes why.?

@motorinc 3 месяца назад

A strong hybrid would be an excellent long term choice. Do you plan to hold on to it for long!

36:20 what Karthik is saying is exactly how a deflationary economy works. If something/everything is going down in price, it makes more sense to hold on to your cash and not buy. If everyone starts doing that, companies drop prices even more to get sales and that feeds the vicious circle. Thankfully the ICE cars are going up in price while EV prices are coming down. So at least there will be some people sitting on the fence with each price drop who will opt for the now-cheaper EV instead. This will continue till ICE cars are jo longer viable sellers and then EV prices will finally start their inflationary journey that the *mature* ICE cars are on now.

ICE cars are also getting discounts now. Great time to go car shopping!

Mahindra's NMC chemistry vs Tata's LFP chemistry which is better as per your vision?? I also heard that in Mahindra's upcoming born electric cars they are using BYD's Blade Technology Batteries. Have to see. In blade technology batteries there will be a gap between each battery cell with which if one cell gets effected it doesn't pass on to the other cells.

So have we. If they do, it will be awesome.

@HkJ3708 3 месяца назад

In my view Mahindras NMC is better than Tatas LFP because , 1. Mahindra uses the battery of Farasis Energy which is a brand in worlds top 10 battery manufacturer list. Whereas Tata haven't yet properly reported the company they use. 2. Nexon EV has a large number of battery replacement got within the last few months where none of XUV never did a battery replacement. 3. If Tatas LFP is of a good quality why can't they offer a good period of warranty like BYD does. 4.LFP is a testing technology it's still not that stable as NMC. So BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Premium cars of Tesla,Volvo,Kia,Hyundai all uses the same NMC as Mahindra. After these scenarios I think XUVs NMC is obviously better than TATAs LFP. But still actual LFP technology of BYD which is gonna be used in future BE series of Mahindra can be better than current NMC of XUV400

⁠⁠⁠@@HkJ3708Tata uses GotionGX cells Battery replacement is a last resort solution for errors which can’t be resolved at dealer level, since replacement offers fastest turnaround time for issue resolution because dealer cannot open battery due to tool and worker lacking Nexon EV has sold 100k+ unit so obv purely statistically, even if both xuv and Nexon have equal issues, more number of nexons will be affected BYD LFP is gold standard of LFP Next CATL Qilin LFP Tata LFP is nowhere close to them, that much I agree BMW Mercedes etc make performance cars for which LFP adds extra weight which is undesirable Further, for these luxury cars, cost is not an issue for their buyers but for budget cars it is. Most of these western EV makers have colder climates where NMC works fine while for hotter climates, LFP is suited due to its higher operating temp range of 60°C compared to NMC which is good till 30°C only

3:58 OMG! Chevrolet Beat Diesel LT 2011 daily driver here, I can’t believe my car is mentioned here!😅 I’ve put on about 115K kms on it and still going strong! Had no major issues on it and it being diesel still gives 20+ kmpl milage as well!🔥 The interior is still in pristine condition, the quality is unbelievable in the sense that it has lasted in such a good condition for this long! Shame to see such a capable company leave a developing country which has such high potential. I unfortunately am not able to find the brochure online anywhere but I might have the physical copy of it lying somewhere since the time I bought it 😂 if you anybody wants it, do reply I’ll scan it and drop a g-drive link.

For people who HATE tata because of prior service experiences this is actually a viable option. I think it's gonna be more of a workhorse car than the Nexon. The Nexon with all its bells and whistles doesn't not inspire confidence from a durability stand point. This to me does ! Although it's an unfinished product, many might not care about the unfinished bits.

@motorinc 3 месяца назад

Exactly!
