The budding market for completely electric SUVs in India has witnessed the launch of currently available electric SUVs and may, in a matter of months, see the arrival of the long-awaited Mahindra XUV-e8 and Tata Harrier EV. With Tata already having a strong foothold in the EV segment, Mahindra is betting big on its new INGLO electric platform. These two SUVs are to be top-end, powerful electric SUVs catering to futuristic customers.
Battery Sizes and Range
Once again, we see that Mahindra having built the XUV.e8 with a larger battery pack for long-range usage, given that it says its new-generation EV will be highway-worthy. So, the XUV.e8 should not be causing real-world range anxiety anytime in the future-even with a long drive! Although also touted with a big battery, the Harrier EV is trying to have a more balanced approach, carefully measuring performance versus efficiency. While the range might be close or just slightly inferior to that of the XUV.e8, the Harrier EV would take the edge in terms of efficiency and stable performance.
Technology and Platform Differences
While the XUVe8 boasts great tech with large digital displays, smart software features, and an advanced cabin, along with being more spacious, flat floor, it is built on the new electric platform. Strengthening all that the Harrier emotionally stood for in the electric space, Harrier EV shall use Tata’s proven EV tech with safe battery management systems and robust structural platforms.

Conclusion
