    At the same price point, the two electric SUVs are neck and neck in most departments including the battery pack and range

    Tata Nexon EV Fearless Plus LR vs Mahindra XUV400 EL Pro ST 39.4 kWh

    The best-selling electric SUV in India is the Tata Nexon EV and its most direct rival is the Mahindra XUV400. With the two EVs available at similar price points, it’s natural for the prices of some of their variants to overlap over each other. In this comparison, we are taking a look at the price overlap of the higher-spec Tata Nexon EV Fearless Plus Long Range (LR) and the top-spec Mahindra XUV400 EL Pro (single-tone with the larger battery pack).

    • Between the Tata Nexon EV and Mahindra XUV400, the latter is bigger by every measure and longer than its ICE internal combustion engine) counterpart, the XUV300. The Tata EV, on the other hand, is a sub-4m offering as it’s a direct EV equivalent of the ICE-powered Nexon.

    • The Mahindra XUV400 also leads the way when it comes to the wheelbase between the two which should give it the advantage of having a roomier cabin here.

    • If you want an electric SUV with a larger boot space, it’s again the Mahindra XUV400 that should be your pick as it has an additional 28 litres of storage space on offer that is likely to help in stacking a couple of more soft bags. Neither of these EVs has a front storage (frunk) option.

    Tata Nexon EV Fearless Plus LR cabin

    • At the same price point, the two EVs here are well-equipped offerings with premium features such as LED lighting, dual 10.25-inch displays, and six airbags.

    • That said, the Nexon EV has a few extra features like an electronic parking brake with auto-hold, and a 6-speaker music system.

    Mahindra XUV400 cabin

    • On the other hand, the Mahindra EV gets some advantages in the form of dual-zone AC, a sunroof, and rain-sensing wipers.

    Verdict

    Given the identical price point of the two electric SUVs, it’s evident that whatever choice you make, you’re not going to miss out on much on a day-to-day basis with their similar range and feature-set.

    That said, you should pick the Mahindra XUV400 if your priority is more cabin space for your family, more performance, and if you want feel-good features like a sunroof and dual-zone AC. On the other hand, the Nexon EV Fearless Plus is a more modern-looking EV having some useful comfort and safety amenities like a wide array of connected tech features.
