The Tata Nexon EV, especially in this long-range Max form, has been your go-to EV if you’ve wanted something accessibly priced and with enough range and features to make for a convincing family car. It’s had the playing field all to itself so far, but now with the Mahindra XUV400 in the mix, it finds itself facing its closest competitor yet. The two are about as closely matched on paper as cars get, so a real-world test is the only way to see what’s what. We drove from right in the middle of Mumbai to Lonavala for a jaunt up the hills and back into the city for some peak traffic driving.

The Tata Nexon EV Max, after a recent software update, now has an ARAI-certified range of 453 km, against the XUV400’s 456 km. But the real-world range figures tell a different story which you will know after watching this video. We also take you on a deep dive into how these cars are to drive in traffic and on the highway, how their interiors and features list are and which one we think is the better pick.

Prices for the Tata Nexon EV Max start from Rs 17.57 lakh while the Mahindra XUV400 is available in a single long-range version that costs Rs 20 lakh. The comparable Nexon EV Max costs Rs 20.19 lakh.
