The Mahindra BE6 Pack 3 Select and Mahindra XEV 9e Pack 2 are strong competitors in the electric SUV segment considering they are similarly priced, but the Harrier EV Fearless+ 75kWh RWD holds several advantages. Here’s a detailed comparison:
| Aspect | Tata Harrier EV Fearless+ 75kWh RWD | Mahindra BE6 Pack 3 Select | Mahindra XEV 9e Pack 2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price (ex-showroom) | Rs 24.99 Lakh* | Rs 24.50 Lakh* | Rs 24.90 Lakh* |
| Battery Capacity | 75 kWh (LFP, EVE C33 cells) | 59 kWh (Blade Cells) | 59 kWh (Blade Cells) |
| Motor Type | PMSM (RWD, 234.7 BHP, 315 Nm) | PMSM (RWD, 228 BHP, 380 Nm) | PMSM (RWD, 228 BHP, 380 Nm) |
| Charging (20-80%) | 25 mins (120kW DC, 300A) | 20 mins (140kW DC, 400A) | 20 mins (140kW DC, 400A) |
| Safety Rating | 5-star BNCAP | 5-star BNCAP | 5-star BNCAP |
| Key Features | Ultra Glide Suspension, 12.3-inch Harman infotainment, JBL audio, V2V/V2L, 7 airbags, lifetime battery warranty | ADAS, Harman Kardon 16-speaker audio, Dolby Atmos, 7 airbags, lifetime battery warranty | Triple Front Screen, 6 airbags, glass roof, lifetime battery warranty |
The Mahindra BE6 Pack 3 Select offers advanced safety features like ADAS. The BE6’s Harman Kardon 16-speaker audio and the XEV 9e’s Triple Front Screen are premium touches. However, their shorter certified range and untested real-world performance make the Harrier a more compelling choice for buyers prioritizing range and proven technology.
Tata EVs have the most presence on road in India gaining from the first mover advantage back in 2020. They have acknowledged issues with their electric vehicles not only the High Voltage Critical Error but also software glitches. Though the issues have reduced with Curvv EV but Tata had to take a reputation hit. This seems like a make or break launch for Tata. If Harrier EV can be free from the previous nightmares the customers have faced, confidence in Tata EVs will re-emerge and they can finally claim victory over the valid criticism.
The Tata Harrier EV redefines the electric SUV segment with its blend of range, performance, and premium features. The Fearless+ 75kWh RWD, priced at Rs 24.99 Lakh, offers the best value with its 627 km range, identical features to the Fearless+ 65kWh, and unique capabilities like V2V/V2L charging. Compared to the Mahindra BE6 Pack 3 Select and XEV 9e Pack 2, the Harrier EV stands out for its superior range, larger battery, and established technology, making it a top choice for buyers seeking a reliable and feature-packed electric SUV.
