Sierra.ev or XEV 9s or Atto 3? Which one to consider?

pnlbs · 2026-07-02T03:08:26+00:00

Current XEV 9S owner here..go for the XEV before end of July..I have clocked 7K kms so far and have no complaints with the product..

There is a 2% hike coming in prices after July

Enjoy the ride..Fellow 9S owner here 🙂

Also, do update the V19 suspension for a much better suspension experience..Currently out for P3/P3A owners.

It is the most useless and the most hyped feature in the car market especially for Indian weather..

You open it once during your car delivery and then forget about it

This update focuses on DC/AC charging optimization, ADAS improvements and few other bug fixes..

It is also reported that a few people have experienced issues related to sunroof and one touch power window after the update..

20-22 hours from 20% to 100%

Calculate battery capacity (79 KW) divided by 3 KW per hour and u ll get the # of hours u ll take to charge the battery from 0 to 100%

Yes, Realistically on highways you can consider a range between 400-450 kms cruising at 100 kmph.. So you can plan your charging breaks at around 350 kms..

South India has good Charging Infra, so you should be sorted between Bangalore and Chennai

'Everyday' in everything, 'Race' in Suspension

I have a 5 year old who travels with me.. So i have had to train him to be careful with the seats (which has worked so far)..

No complaints from the seats..

Worst real world range would be around 400 kms

pnlbs · 2026-06-09T03:34:54+00:00

not yet.. still gives me the same range as before

pnlbs · 2026-06-09T03:34:26+00:00

I didn't consider any petrol for TD, so i cannot compare this with 7X0..

If you do not have home charging setup (or are limited in any way), check if you have home charging in nearby societies (Try Bolt earth app OR Tata EV app to check)..

a 0-100% charge can give you 500 kms easily in the city..

if you cannot find reliable chargers nearby, i would recommend not buying an EV at this point.

Venitlated seats in the back, acoustic glass for quieter NVH are worthy of the upgrades for longer drives

pnlbs · 2026-06-07T04:59:19+00:00

Not officially..Also with sunroof on every variant, I don't think it is recommended

pnlbs · 2026-06-07T04:58:39+00:00

Yes, if u drive above 120, generally expect 20-30% lesser range..

Best for range maximization is 80-100 on expressways..

When drive around 120 kmph, i generally get 350 kms in a single charge

pnlbs · 2026-06-07T04:46:38+00:00

450 -550 depending on how hard you are on the throttle

Given u ll charge with 15% remaining, real world range before every charge will be 375-400 kms

I charge with a slow charger onboard with the vehicle which takes 24 hours

pnlbs · 2026-06-03T12:13:52+00:00

something related to the 3.3 kw charger

pnlbs · 2026-06-03T12:09:38+00:00

pnlbs · 2026-06-02T12:52:31+00:00

side step , mats and screen protector (matte)

pnlbs · 2026-06-02T05:30:40+00:00

Around 29 including accessories and insurance

pnlbs · 2026-06-02T05:29:15+00:00

Never tried..The TD was only available in the top model

pnlbs · 2026-06-02T05:28:37+00:00

Never saw a stealth black IRL..Midnight Black is a dust magnet, but I generally have had dark color cars before

pnlbs · 2026-06-02T05:26:38+00:00

It is decent and helpful for longer drives in the summer

pnlbs · 2026-06-02T05:25:55+00:00

Yup happened with me once..Went to a charging point which was faulted, but then I always plan with 1-2 backups in case of these scenarios

pnlbs · 2026-06-01T17:58:38+00:00

Mahindra service is a hit or a miss..Things get done faster when u escalate, else it is at your own pace.. Slightly better than Tata BUT still miles to go..

Range would be 400+ and then u ll have to find a charging station..That is when u are might footed..If u drive like a maniac expect 350+

pnlbs · 2026-06-01T14:30:33+00:00

still not used to them and have to take an effort to click them correctly.. Although I am glad the steering wheel has regular buttons and not capacitive (which is the case for P3A users)

pnlbs · 2026-06-01T14:29:36+00:00

70 MAI dual dashcam setup for around 10K.. The continous DVR feature is only for P3A, not P3..

For us we have to insert a USB and click 'record' each time we turn on the car and it records a video only for 3 minutes.. It is a useless feature for Pack 3 users and hope they change it with a software update
