HomeNews20 Features Mahindra Xev 9e Gets Over Tata Harrier EV

Published : 07 June 2025

Read Time : 5 min

Author: Mahesh Yadav

Here is an exhaustive list of 20 features, which should convince you to buy the Mahindra XEV 9e and skip the Tata Harrier EV. We have included advantages of XEV 9e over Harrier EV ranging from futuristic tech upgrades like brake-by-wire to flashy glass roof with in-built see-through ambient lighting.

20 Features Mahindra XEV 9e Gets But Tata Harrier EV Doesn’t

1. Brake-By-Wire

The Mahindra EV twins offer brake-by-wire as standard feature. This is an advanced feature that’s available in only a few cars internationally. And the fact that Mahindra are offering it in a car as affordable as the BE6 and XEV 9e is a truly remarkable achievement on their part.

For the uninformed, this technology records your braking input digitally and applies it intelligently to the wheels. In the interest of efficiency, it prioritizes regen braking and pinches rotors based on the urgency and how deep the driver pushes the pedal. There’s no mechanical link between the brakes and the brake pedal — just like the accelerator pedal in pretty much any car.

According to Mahindra’s estimates, this feature alone improves the range by 18% in real-world driving conditions. And, should it need any changes or fine tuning, all of that can be done with software updates during the vehicle ownership. The Harrier EV continues with the usual braking mechanism where the pedal is physically connected to the brake rotors.

2. 207mm Ground Clearance

The XEV 9e gets 207mm of ground clearance. While we don’t yet know the exact clearance of the Harrier EV, the fact that they didn’t mention it during the reveal event or in any of the official communication suggests that it’s not anywhere close to 207mm. So, this win is safely in Mahindra’s bag.

3. 3-Screen Dashboard

The XEV 9e gets 3 12.3-inch touchscreens — one for the driver, one in the centre and one for the front passenger. The front passenger screen can also play videos but they only work if the car is not moving. The Harrier EV uses a traditional 2-screen setup, which has its own advantages but the 3-screen setup of the XEV 9e also has its appeal for some buyers.

4. Larger Battery In Top Model

While the XEV 9e’s base model gets a 6kWh smaller battery pack than the Harrier EV’s base variant, the 79kWh battery of the 9e’s top variant is marginally larger than that of the Harrier EV’s top model.

5. 5m Turning Radius w/ Variable Ratio Steering

The XEV 9e is big. It’s considerably bigger than the Harrier EV, which is 4607mm long while the 9e is 4789mm long. Still, the XEV 9e’s variable ratio steering gives it a tighter turning radius than some 4m cars. It can make tight U-turns with only a 5m turning radius while the Harrier EV has a 5.75m turning radius.

6. EyeQ 6 ADAS

The top-spec XEV 9e has an advanced ADAS system — EyeQ 6 from Mobileye. It has:

  • 5x radars
  • 12x parking sensors
  • 5x cameras

Tata appear to have come a long way with the Harrier EV as they are now offering 6 front and 6 rear parking sensors. That’s 3 times the number of sensors in their current flagship — the Safari, which gets 2 front and 2 rear parking sensors.

Their ADAS kit is also from Mobileye but it’s not as advanced as that of the 9e and it gets:

  • 3x radars
  • 12x parking sensors
  • 6x cameras

While it may not be leveraging all of these data points, it is certainly capable of using them with future software updates. And even then, it will lag behind Mahindra’s kit, which gets 2 additional radars.

7. EyeDentity Facial Recognition

The Eyedentity cabin camera is capable of recognising the driver’s face and adjusting several aspects of the car, such as seat settings, outside mirror position, drive & regen modes and even infotainment preferences such as brightness, volume and equaliser. So, the XEV 9e doesn’t have driver seat memory because it can store practically any number of driver profiles, which go far beyond seat settings. Although, this feature may not be available for a good while as it’s under development.

8. Fixed Glass Roof

The 9e gets a fixed glass roof, which is much safer than an opening sunroof. If you have a sunroof, kids are eventually going to ask to peek out of it while the vehicle is moving. While that is happening, they are not only not safely secured with seatbelts, but they also run the risk of suffering injury from external elements such as abandoned twines of kites.

A single fixed glass roof also doesn’t have any creases and it gives a much larger view of the sky than a 2 pane panoramic sunroof.

9. Lighting In Glass Roof

Along with a nice wide view of the sky, the 9e also gets ambient lighting in the glass roof. This is not only visible from the inside, but also from the outside. If you want to show off, this is how you should do it. The glass roof adds style quotient during the day and the ambient lighting does so during the night — in both cases, it’s all flash and all visible, whether you’re inside the car or outside.

10. Augmented Reality HUD

With the help of Eyedentity facial recognition, the car’s HUD adjusts the images and directly overlays important information such as navigation instructions on top of the lane. This head-up display done right. Just like the Eyedentity, this feature is also advertised but not available on production cars as it’s under development.

11. Light Party

Every single LED around the car is capable of illuminating or turning off at the command of the processor. And that processor runs the lines of codes written by the developers. So, they did it. The software developers wrote a few more lines of code to turn the 9e into a party machine with lights flashing to the music.

12. Auto Parking

Using the abundant sensors and cameras with the latest and greatest of the ADAS world, the 9e is also capable of parking itself. The Harrier EV can also do a parallel and perpendicular park. But the XEV 9e can also do slant parking, at an angle.

13. UV-cut & Noise Reduction Windows

Baleno was the first mass market car to start offering UV-cut glass panes. The Mahindra EV twins take it a step further with UV as well as noise reduction windows. The passive cabin thermal management helps the car deliver high efficiency as it has to use the AC compress much less. Since EVs are much quieter than petrol cars, we end up noticing the wind and tyre noise more than usual. The 9e also benefits from a quieter cabin with its insulated side windows.

14. 140-175kW DC Fast Charging

The Mahindra EV twins are also capable of charging extremely fast using 140-175kW DC chargers. 140kW for the smaller battery pack and 175kW for the larger one. Of course, the actual charge speed is not that fast but that’s because of the transmission losses and thermal inefficiencies. Meanwhile, the Harrier EV can handle up to 120kW, which is fast, but not Mahindra-fast.

15. 150L Frunk & 663L Boot Space

In terms of cargo volume, the Mahindra XEV 9e’s larger dimensions handily beats the Harrier EV. It has a 663-litre boot space with all seats upright while the Harrier EV has 502-litre cargo volume

In terms of front cargo volume, the 9e has 150-litre space under the boot while the Harrier EV has up to 67 litre space. That’s if you are buying it with the rear-wheel drivetrain. With 4WD, it shrinks to 35 litres, which is about as much as you get from an electric scooter.

16. 16-speaker Sound System

The Mahindra XEV 9e also beats the Harrier EV in terms of sound system performance. First of all, the XEV 9e has the goods to show off. Its 16-speaker setup includes:

  • 7x speakers
  • 4x tweeters
  • 4x woofers
  • 1x subwoofer

Tata have a 10-speaker setup, which does not even come close to Mahindra’s offering.

17. QLI & Dolby Atmos

Mahindra and Tata, both have Dolby Atmos sound turning for a surround sound experience. The XEV 9e takes it a step further with Quantum Logic Immersive. This is another piece of tech used in movie halls for a 3D aural experience.

18. Most Advanced SDV Architecture

Mahindra and Tata, both have a software defined vehicle architecture for their respective EVs. But Mahindra's alternative is more future-proof with the advanced Snapdragon Cockpit processing core, Blackberry QNX layer for security and Android Automotive on top. The 9e is likely to remain relevant 10 years from now while the Harrier may start to feel outdated in comparison in just 5-7 years from launch.

19. 19-inch Wheels As Standard

The Harrier EV gets 18-inch alloy wheels as standard in lower variants. The XEV 9e doesn't get alloys but it has larger 19-inch steel wheels with covers. Bigger is not necessarily better in this case for all car buyers, but at least on the size front, Mahindra have beaten Tata with large wheels.

20. Higher Torque w/ RWD

Lastly, in terms of torque, the Harrier 4WD with 2 motors can easily beat the 9e, which only has 1 motor. Even with RWD, the Harrier has slightly better power output than the XEV 9e. But the 9e has better torque output and torque is what matters. Torque is what you feel when accelerating hard. Tata hasn't yet disclosed the torque output with single motor variants, but if it were better than 9e, they would have announced it by now.
