XUV400 vs Nexon: Which Electric Car is Faster?

What’s faster? Electric cars, like the XUV400 or Nexon, or regular gas-powered cars? While gas-powered cars are faster in terms of horsepower and top speed, electric vehicles are quickly gaining popularity because they’re cheaper to drive, require less maintenance, and can have a lower overall cost of ownership when factoring in insurance and fuel costs. In this article we’ll compare and contrast the XUV400 and Nexon to determine which electric car offers more bang for your buck.

What is an Electric Car

Electric cars are a new way to get around town. With no gasoline and few engine parts, they don’t pollute the air like conventional cars. And electric vehicles offer a host of benefits–to drivers, to communities, and to the environment.
Electric vehicles (EVs) use rechargeable batteries that emit zero greenhouse gases and rely on clean, domestic sources of electricity. Just like their gas-powered counterparts, an EV’s motor turns rotational energy into kinetic energy. However, in the case of an EV, this process takes place inside the motor instead of under the hood of your car. An electric car company builds these components for drivers with unique needs.

Advantages of an electric car

Electric cars offer a lower carbon footprint than their traditional counterparts, not to mention that they save money on gasoline. They are also much more environmental friendly, with less noise pollution and reduced emissions. Drivers are also saving money because electric cars require less maintenance due to an efficient electric motor. Plus, since electric cars don’t need to use a combustion engine, you will get better performance and the ability to accelerate faster.

Disadvantages of an electric car

There are a few disadvantages to owning an electric car. First, you can’t drive as far in an electric car because their batteries need rare metals, and making electric cars creates more emissions than gas-powered cars do. Second, there aren’t enough charging points or the proper infrastructure for all the electric cars on the road. Third, when you use electricity generated from a power plant that’s not using renewable sources of energy, your electric car becomes as green as its power source. Fourth, if your battery runs out during travel in a much colder climate without access to any heating equipment (like on Regions where there is more snowfall), it can cause serious battery problems that might leave you stranded with no way to recharge it.

Key Differences Between the Nexon EV and XUV400 EV

The XUV400 EV is based on the XUV300 but with design updates to the rear that make it longer than 4 metres. It is a direct competitor to the Tata Nexon EV, much like their ICE-powered counterparts. So, here are the five key differences between the two for you to keep in mind:

Dimensions

The XUV400 EV is around 200mm longer than the Nexon EV and even the XUV300. The tax benefits of being shorter than 4 metres in length are applicable only for ICE-powered vehicles and not for EVs. So, the XUV400 gets a redesigned rear profile and bumper which increases its length. It gets a bigger boot too but no changes are made to its wheelbase and in-cabin space. In other aspects, the XUV400 EV is sized very similarly to Tata’s electric SUV.

Battery & Range

The XUV claims to offer around 20 kilometres more than the Nexon EV Max, with a slightly smaller battery. The Nexon EV (now Prime) was able to deliver a range of around 211 kilometres on the highway and around 282 kilometres in the city. So, we’re expecting the XUV400 EV to offer an average range of over 350 kilometres.

Electric Performance

The XUV400 EV is the most powerful, the torquiest and also claims to be the quickest electric SUV in this list. The XUV400 EV and Nexon EV Max also feature one pedal driving with the highest level of regenerative braking activated. They both also come with different drive modes to offer a choice of driving experiences between sporty and efficient .

Charging Time

With a 50kW DC fast charger, the XUV400 EV will juice up from zero to 80 per cent in just 50 minutes, which is better than the other two but not by a lot. Since the Nexon EV Prime’s battery is smaller, it just takes 8.5 hours for a full charge from a lower-capacity charging point.

Price Check

The Tata nexon EV (ExShowroom Price) Ranges From Rs14.99 Lakhs To Rs17.5 Lakhs and the Hot Competitor Mahindra XUV 400 (Expected Ex Showroom price) Ranges From Rs 17Lakhs to Rs20 Lakhs.

The Verdict!

For those looking for the best electric car, XUV 400 has been rated one of the fastest and most powerful ones on the market with a range that outperforms other electric cars. If you’re in India, the Mahindra Xuv 400 offers an affordable alternative to those who are looking for a Tata nexon ev or Mahindra xuv 400. The average person will get about 150 km of range from their Mahindra Xuv 400 before needing to recharge it, but there are models available which offer up to 220 km (about 140 miles) before needing a charge.
What’s more, the Tata Nexon EV and Mahindra Xuv 400 both have charging stations set up across key Indian cities – Delhi NCR area and Bangalore – which means that if you have access to either type of electric car then you’ll be able to refuel while away from home.
So what would be your choice? If speed matters than it would seem like the answer is obvious! The Mahindra XUV 400 outranks any other vehicle on this list when it comes to performance and overall speed.

3 Major Lessons Learned From Buying Your First EV (Electric Vehicle)

First you should consider your driving habits ,Secondly charging at home is your best option, installing home charging can be expensive so it may not be a good idea if you live in an apartment. Thirdly there are a lot of incentives and rebates to purchase an EV and installation of home charging stations will qualify for most of them .
