Verdict

The two electric cars are both well-equipped and seem to have a lot of potentials. But compared to other electric vehicle mentioned here, the XUV400 lacks some features. The Mahindra SUV, however, is a formidable opponent for other EVs. And based on its prices, it appears to be a reasonable choice—at least on paper.
