- Tata is a leader in the EV space in India and Mahindra will challenge that leadership pretty soon.
- The Nexon EV will face stiff competition from the upcoming XUV400.
- The XUV400 is slated for launch in January 2023 and is a longer version of the ICE-powered XUV300.
Tata Motors has started mind games with Mahindra (about the upcoming XUV400) as their Nexon EV achieves 35,000 sales in our market. Nexon EV is, by far, the most successful EV in India. It is based on the popular Nexon compact SUV that sells in impressive numbers as an ICE-powered vehicle already. Leveraging its bold looks, 5-star safety rating and modern features, Tata Motors introduced the EV version of the same. It has clocked an impressive feat of selling 35,000 units as a result. Now, the XUV400 is about the launch to stake claim to the title of being the highest-selling EV in India.
