Verdict: The entry-level Pack One variant covers most of the must-have features along with some advanced goodies including connected car tech, OTA updates, wireless smartphone support, all digital instrument cluster, built-in Amazon Alexa and more. However, it misses out on the power driver seat, front parking sensors, 360 degree camera, rear window curtains, rear defogger, keyless entry, TPMS and parcel tray. With a price tag of Rs 21.90 lakh, the base variant of the XEV 9e offers a decent value for money. However, we recommend upgrading to a higher variant to access features such as alloys and glass roof.

Verdict: The Pack Two trim, with its number of value-added features, offers excellent value for money and enhances the overall ownership experience. It is priced nearly Rs 3 lakh than the base variant, making it our highly recommended option. However, if you looking for a more premium experience, we suggest you to go for the higher trim.

Range - 542km

Verdict: The Pack Three provides you access to nearly all advanced and functional features of the electric SUV. However, it is only available only with the smaller 59kWh battery pack. You need to stretch you budget further to own it.

Range - 656km

Ambient lighting
Puddle lamps
Augmented reality heads-up display
