In recent times, the YouTubers in India have become immensely popular by conducting these events. Viewers really appreciate the hardcore acceleration comparisons between various cars.

On the other hand, there is an American hardcore off-roading SUV. Let us see which one comes out on top.

Mahindra XEV 9e vs Jeep Wrangler Rubicon

This post stems from Tushar Sharma on YouTube. The host has the two contenders side-by-side. For the first round, the XEV 9e is driven in Default Mode, while there are no drive modes on the Wrangler. Interestingly, the XEV 9e took the lead from the start and maintained it throughout the race. It was surprising to see the Wrangler struggle so much. For the second round, the driver of the Wrangler was changed. As a result, it briefly put up a fight in the beginning, but the XEV 9e caught up soon and overtook it. Overall, the electric SUV simply thrashed the off-roading SUV.

Specs Comparison

The Mahindra XEV 9e is on sale with two battery pack options – 79 kWh and 59 kWh. This results in a driving range of 656 km and 542 km, respectively, on a single charge. These batteries power the electric motor to generate a decent 286 hp and 380 Nm with the larger battery, to 231 hp and 380 Nm with the smaller unit, respectively. In the sportiest settings, the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h just takes 6.8 seconds. That is due to the inherent torque delivery associated with EVs. Using a 175 kW DC fast charger, the battery can be juiced up from 20% to 80% in a matter of 20 minutes.

On the other hand, the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon is a mighty popular off-roading machine. It has achieved great success in many international markets. Under its upright hood, you will find a 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine, which produces a healthy 268 hp and 400 Nm of peak power and torque, respectively. Performing the transmission duties is an 8-speed automatic transmission with plenty of off-roading hardware.
