What owners and experts like about the Mahindra XUV400 EV

Boot space

Strongly positivebased on 5 reviews

“सामान कितना रख सकते हैं... देख लीजिए एक दो तीन चार पांच और भी बाकी है जगह... इधर नीचे स्टेफनी भी है... देखो इतना डीप है ये इतना डीप है यहां पर एक मीडियम सूटकेस दो छोटी सूटकेस हैंड बैग”

Dashboard layout

Strongly positivebased on 5 reviews

“the digital instrument cluster, well it's very easy to read, it's really neatly executed and you have a proper speedometer on one side with a digital read, and on the other side it shows you how much power of the motor you are consuming”

Highway overtaking

Strongly positivebased on 5 reviews

“fast is where the steering gains a bit of weight and you also have better response from the throttle... you get a decent amount of pull and overtaking as a result is very very easy”

Rear seat space

Strongly positivebased on 6 reviews

“just like the front seats, the rear seat is really comfortable in terms of support, in terms of the back rest angle and even in terms of space, now the XUV being a wide car you can easily accommodate three abreast in reasonable comfort”

Ride comfort

Strongly positivebased on 6 reviews

“the XV 400 suspension is tuned for comfort so what you get is a soft and supple ride quality especially at low speeds and in the city and it'll really soften the blows from the road shocks really well”

Seat comfort

Strongly positivebased on 5 reviews

“the seats, leathered, perforated, don't get ventilated options but they are nice and comfy, support is very good as well”

Highway stability

Generally negativebased on 6 reviews

“भारी गाड़ी तो है नहीं भाई जब 100 से ऊपर जाएगी तो हवा टकराव होगा तो 100 ही कंफर्टेबल है इसके लिए मैं नहीं सजेस्ट करूंगा किसी को भी इसे 100 से ऊपर”

Handling

Mixed reviewsbased on 8 reviews

“what is an issue though is the steering, it is a bit too light and disconnected... it still feels like it's not really connected to the car”
