VERDICT - Mahindra, with the XUV400 has again hit a sweet spot with Indian car buyers looking for an all-electric SUV. This resonates well after watching the booking numbers shoot up. The domino effect of this was the slashing of the Tata Nexon EV. The price was reduced by simultaneously increasing the range. The product is promising and inspires confidence. Plus the rivalry is only going to benefit the customers in the end. In our opinion, this is a healthy fight. Do you wish to book an all-electric SUV? If yes, what would you choose?
