BHPian GKR9900<\/strong> recently shared this with other enthusiasts.<\/p>\n I just made a Nexon.EV Empowered plus booking the previous week. Seeing the discounts on the 4OO is making me reconsider my options. The on-road price difference between the 400 and top-end Nexon.EV LR is a whopping 4 lakhs (that’s almost 20%). While the XUV does miss out on adjustable regen, ventilated seats, EPB, newer infotainment system etc, it is a much better mechanical package compared to the Nexon with its FSD equipped suspension, more interior space etc. But the NMC batteries and its reduced charging cycle is a problem, but then again there is an 8 year warranty.<\/p>\n I would be lying if I say I am not considering the 400 again. So decided to take a TD of the 400 again today.<\/p>\n Here’s what BHPian electric_eel<\/strong> had to say on the matter:<\/p>\n Warning: I have seen (not test driven) the 400 twice so most of my points will be out of ignorance. Here are few points you need to consider. Not all “futuristic” features are useful. Let me evaluate based on Nexon EV Max that I have.<\/p>\n Another point you want to consider, particularly with senior citizens is the ingress and egress. I found that shorter folks have some problem in the Nexon Max.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Here’s what BHPian Venky03<\/strong> had to say on the matter:<\/p>\n I was in a similar dilemma, let me lay down some pros and cons for you:<\/p>\n I had booked both the Nexon.EV 2023 and Mahindra XUV 400, and absolutely loved the driving dynamics of the XUV 400 but there were 2 big deterrents for me:<\/p>\n The way Mahindra treated the early adopters, all the early media reviews mentioned that the XUV 400 will come with ESC and other safety features in the production variant and these features were even promised by some dealers to the early buyers. After the updated variant arrived, these early buyers reached out to Mahindra to retrofit the updates, but they were straight up denied citing hardware incompatibility. They changed the stance very recently after all the early buyers started bashing them left and right on all the social media platforms.<\/p>\n Software updates, they’re an integral part of electric vehicles. Tata is very serious and committed to EV ecosystem and is way ahead of Mahindra. Mahindra had to switch from LG chem to Farasis for their batteries due to their lazy approach towards EVs.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Here’s what BHPian ferrarirules<\/strong> had to say on the matter:<\/p>\n I will recommend to go for Nexon.EV. Other have already pointed out the feature differences and Pros\/Cons. But my reason is that the feeling of the product getting outdated soon.<\/p>\n The way technology has progressed in today’s world, we are getting newer version of a product every year. Biggest example – Phones.<\/p>\n Now with XUV400, it is the GEN 1 of the product. There are bound to be major updates to the car soon where as Nexon EV is GEN3 of the product with a major update done recently. So Nexon EV will see incremental updates in the coming years rather than a major upgrade.<\/p>\n Summary – The choice is between living with a product which is outdated for minimum 5 years and living with a product which will remain relevant for at least coming 3 years.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Here’s what BHPian VWAllStar<\/strong> had to say on the matter:<\/p>\n If you want to go for an EV now, take the big bang and long term economics in perspective. Spend another 3 Lakhs and get the MG ZS EV or Kona EV over Nexon or XUV 4OO. Mahindra will bring out their best EV products only in 2025. This iteration of XUV 4OO is only to keep the customers engaged and not let Tata have the whole cake. Think long term and you would find a lot of value in those additional 3 Lakhs. Or simply go for a petrol SUV which is 3 lakhs lesser than your budget and spend it on fuel cost.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
