Final Thoughts
Mahindra has also added a new ‘Default’ mode to the Origin SUVs. This mode replicates the driving feel of ICE vehicles, making it easier for first-time EV buyers to make the switch. The Mahindra BE 6 rivals the Hyundai Creta Electric, Maruti Suzuki e Vitara, and Toyota Urban Cruiser EV in India. The XEV 9e has no rivals yet, but it will lock horns with the upcoming Tata Harrier EV.
