Comparision between Tata Harrier EV vs Mahindra XEV 9e
Tata Harrier EV vs Mahindra XEV 9e : Clash of Electric Titans in India’s Mid-Size SUV Segment
India’s electric vehicle (EV) revolution is gaining serious momentum, and 2025 looks to be a defining year. Leading this charge are two heavyweights — the newly launched Tata Harrier EV and the Mahindra XEV 9e (XUV.e9). These two all-electric SUVs are not only pushing the boundaries of performance and technology but also aiming to redefine value and practicality in the mid-size SUV space. Let’s dive into a head-to-head comparison to see how they stack up against each other in terms of pricing, dimensions, battery options, performance, and real-world range.
Price Check: Tata Takes the Value Crown (For Now)
Tata Motors officially launched the Harrier EV at a starting price of ₹21.49 lakh (ex-showroom). While full variant-wise pricing hasn’t been disclosed yet, bookings are set to begin on July 2, 2025.
In contrast, the Mahindra XEV 9e carries a slightly more premium tag, priced between ₹22.65 lakh and ₹31.25 lakh (ex-showroom), which also includes a ₹75,000 charging kit. This means the base Harrier EV undercuts Mahindra’s offering by around ₹1 lakh — making Tata’s proposition more budget-friendly out of the gate.
| Model | Starting Price (Ex-showroom) |
|---|---|
| Tata Harrier EV | ₹21.49 lakh |
| Mahindra XEV 9e | ₹22.65 lakh |
Dimensions: Mahindra Offers More Length & Space
In terms of sheer size, both SUVs carry imposing road presence, but their strengths differ. The Harrier EV measures 4607 mm long, 2132 mm wide, and 1740 mm tall, making it wider and taller than the XEV 9e, which is 4789 mm long, 1907 mm wide, and 1694 mm tall.
Mahindra fights back with a longer wheelbase of 2775 mm compared to Harrier’s 2741 mm, offering more legroom inside. The boot capacity also favors Mahindra with a massive 663 litres (vs. 502L in Harrier), plus a bigger frunk (150L vs. 35L).
| Dimensions | Tata Harrier EV | Mahindra XEV 9e |
|---|---|---|
| Length (mm) | 4607 | 4789 |
| Width (mm) | 2132 | 1907 |
| Height (mm) | 1740 | 1694 |
| Wheelbase (mm) | 2741 | 2775 |
| Boot Space (L) | 502 | 663 |
Performance: Harrier Is the Quicker & Stronger Contender
Performance is where the Tata Harrier EV really shines. Offered with two battery pack options — 65 kWh and 75 kWh, the top-end variant uses a dual motor setup (front and rear axle) delivering 504 Nm of torque and a combined output of up to 391 bhp (156 bhp front + 235 bhp rear). The result? A 0–100 km/h time of just 6.3 seconds.
Meanwhile, the Mahindra XEV 9e also gets two battery packs — 59 kWh and 79 kWh — with the larger one delivering up to 282 bhp and 380 Nm of torque. But despite the higher peak power, it is slightly slower, doing the 0–100 sprint in 6.8 seconds.
| Specs | Tata Harrier EV | Mahindra XEV 9e |
|---|---|---|
| Battery Packs | 65 kWh / 75 kWh | 59 kWh / 79 kWh |
| Power (Top Variant) | 391 bhp combined | 282 bhp |
| Torque | 504 Nm | 380 Nm |
| Drivetrain | AWD (Dual Motor) | RWD |
| 0–100 Kmph Time | 6.3 seconds | 6.8 seconds |
So, if outright performance and traction (thanks to AWD) are your priorities, Tata takes the lead here.
Range Battle:
When it comes to claimed range, things get interesting. Tata claims the Harrier EV can go up to 627 km on a full charge (MIDC standard). However, in real-world testing, the expected range is more realistic at 480–505 km, especially with the larger 75 kWh battery.
The XEV 9e, on the other hand, offers a claimed range of 542 km with the smaller 59 kWh battery and 656 km with the larger 79 kWh pack — slightly ahead of Harrier on paper. But the catch? These are theoretical figures, and Mahindra hasn’t shared internal real-world estimates yet.
| Model | Claimed Range |
|---|---|
| Tata Harrier EV | 627 km (75 kWh) |
| Mahindra XEV 9e | 542 km (59 kWh) / 656 km (79 kWh) |
Verdict: A Battle of Priorities
If you’re in the market for a premium electric SUV and value performance, AWD capability, and aggressive pricing, the Tata Harrier EV might just be the better pick — especially with its lifetime battery warranty and rugged design appeal.
However, if you want more cargo space, a longer wheelbase, and slightly more driving range, the Mahindra XEV 9e makes a strong case, particularly in top-end variants.
Both EVs have their strengths, and this rivalry is good news for Indian consumers as it pushes innovation and value in a rapidly growing EV segment.
