I would prefer Nexon EV with flaws. Battery tech is better, BMS is better in nexon, looks better in Nexon, even interiors are better in Nexon.
I know the selector is pain but i would still prefer it.
me too
BMS in Nexon is BS. Gives high voltage alerts and cars needs to be restarted multiple times to reset multiple recurring issues. No issues reported in XUV. Battery tech is at par in both.
Ji
I will prefer Nexon EV due to the LFP battery chemistry. Offers more battery life cycles and will withstand higher temperatures too
🫡🫡
NMC used in XUV is far better than Nexons LFP as more than hundred of nexon got battery replacement😂 wheras not even a single XUV did it yet.🎉
@@HkJ3708Let's revisit that when the XUV has sold an equal number of cars to the Nexon EV. 😂
If that never happens, let's see what happens when these cars are 10yrs old and actually need replacement due to degradation. The "% range loss/10k km driven" would be a nice metric to track for all EVs.
@@HkJ3708lpf is better brother ..nmc is old now.. even other companies are switching to lpf .
@@MrBaburicLFP is cheaper, which means more profit margin. LFP tech is actually older than NMC.
Electric cars are maggi without masala for those folks who can't seem to accept change... There were folks like this 100 years ago who never accepted petrol vehicles and thought that their bullock carts were better... And here we are
true but i still haven’t found an ev that delivers on driving emotion
@@carswithkaran depends on what you call emotion... Remember when you were a boy and nothing compared to that early morning ride in your bicycle that you used to pedal? Yeah, then you maybe moved to a scooter then to a bike and then to a car...it changes. We just have to train our minds to accept change.
@@abhijith_mb sure, i accept the change but i dont necessarily need to enjoy it
@@carswithkaran yeah, it's a personal thing
@@abhijith_mb agreed!
Is there a difference in the battery technology used and cost of replacement in either case...
The brands would have minor differences, however for the most of it, it would be the same.
Anytime Nexon EV. battery tech is better. Nexon has better range too
🫵🏻
Me watching this 😂 with 1100₹ in my bank ac and thinking Audi would be better 😢
😂😂😂
🎉😂😢😮🎉😢😮😅😊
hahahahaha

Dream and u will make it true
If you are going to call a car the best under 20L, i think you should have also taken into consideration the Punch Ev top end and the ZS EV entry level cars. That would have been the correct comparison. All of them do a similar range of ~300km and cover the whole 15-20L price range. Considering a lot of folks would buy the car with a loan, it would be a 5-8k monthly EMI change overall.
point taken sayantan, thank you! Nexon vs ZS coming right up 🙌🏻
Next in line!
I like the way you shot this.. awesome job team
Nexon....🥳
Could have included mg zs in the comparo, now that they have reduced prices!
true that, coming up!
Mg zsev is a beast true
In the works!
@@susanfernandezYtsorry no and never. The driver seats are very very cramped
@PowerDrift please share what would be the Cost of replacement for a Battery in these Cars.. in present scenario.. Vs the Cost of Car
from what i’ve read online, the Nexon EV’s battery costs between 5-7 lakhs to replace
Ha ha...asking for a Battery price which comes with 8 years warranty is like asking for the Engine price of Petrol or Diesel cars...no need to worry these days about battery price because if you use an EV for atleast 5 years forget about 8 years, you can save 4-5 lacs and the same amount you can use to make the down payment and get a brand new small car in 5 years time as the EVs are getting cheaper day by day..AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!
We hope Karan answered your query!
@@powerdriftofficial Yes.. Thanks for your kind response.. 😊
The fall and roll copied from Throttle House, copied from Jason Cammisa.
🙌🏻 a man of culture
Can someone confirm if it is XUV 'four hundred' or 'four double O'.... I was so damn sure on it being 'four double O' but listening Karan/PD talk else has taken my confidence a little down.😅
it’s technically ‘4 double O’ but, i mean 🙄🙄🙄
It is 'four double O'
Presently, with the possible discounts and clearances, it makes good sense to consider a Hyundai Kona, which is a better engineered and better finished vehicle than the XUV400 and Nexon both.
better finished for sure but its got less range, is slower and 3-4 lakhs more expensive
@@carswithkaran not any more. go and check out the prices of the Kona at the Hyundai showrooms. Go talk to the sales managers and ask for a deal and you’ll understand why I am saying what I am saying.
Interesting choice!
Nexon ev any day
🫵🏻
Frankly.I wouldn't. With that pricing. XUV 400 deserves 👏
yup the XUV is really good!
We agree depending on your use case
Xuv anyday
Which one will you suggest, if I have to choose from Xuv 400 and Mg zs ev
XUV
MG ZS EV with the bigger LFP battery without a doubt.
Like Karan explained with a tumble, it's the difference of one extra day without having to charge or being mentally comfortable to make it to the next charger when on a long trip.
Punch Ev ...Most Vfm
In october I did a test drive of both the cars not this version of XUV the previous one. I did the nexon first but I feel the space is very low and element in interior was chep.Even 3persons cannot be seated properly in the rear seat and while driving my hands where repeatedly hitting the doorpad because of the less width.
So I decide not to buy EV. But on the same day I saw XUV available for test drive in a nearby showroom and I did a testdrive. At first acceleration I felt like I am riding a Rocket or Jet It was flying through the road with our whole family. The driving was Very enjoyable and the comfort was way better than of Nexon.The rear seats leg room was more than that of any car in the segment. Also the boot was larger.I have a lot of long rides with my complete family. So I thought XUV is a nice option. At the Time the car was priced more than Nexon but I bought One without any further thinking. and now using it. Later I heard many probs of this New Nexon like charging error and battery problem. Then I felt my choice was right again.
If you go for a test drive of both the car . I promise You will choose XUV over nexon.
Also The interior of Nexon is not so beautiful as seen in Vedios. 😊
If you have any doubts about XUV you can ask me.
Are u nuts???? I doubt if u ever been inside the car...
Just making up stories kid
@@MrBaburic have you ever driven any of these cars. I did it and choosen the XUV out of it it's my choice and opinion. I didn't force you for reading or accepting my comment. You can choose Nexon and you will understand me when your car says you HV error. 🤣💯
Good observation
This week I had a test drive on punch EV nexon EV and XUV 400
Punch is good but three people cannot sit in the back and dry for long drive or even for an hour.. because the seat belt hook hit on your back and you will start getting pain
Nexon EV three people in rear seat is adjust and go however the seating comfort is not that much good
Both Tata product have good features. Also had some technical glitch event in the test drive vehicle as well as other vehicle where I show some customer complaining.. that can be overcome to through the software update however the rear seat discomfort and less boot space compared to XUV is disadvantage also little overpriced even though they are using lfp technology which is cheaper than NMC... Tata did not pass over that benefit to customers.
XUV 400 more spacious in front back and boat no one can beat can do long drive with comfort
The range wise it is depends upon the driving quality however nexon give 10 to 20 km additional rane than XUV 400. Features vaise XUV 400 relax 360 camera and its benefit
Break assistant
Traction control
Hill descent
360 camera
Over the air OTA
Gps navigation
Blind spot
Above features are really missing in xuv400. But in city it gives better range then nexon EV aur panch ev
The drive quality both are very good how was sitting comfort if you consider all the five passenger XUV 400 is the best. 2 lakh lesser than nexon
Battery technology have a difference Mahindra uses NMC and Tata uses lfp.... But don't worry about the overheating as both have efficient coolant which will manage the heat so no need to worry about the technology
Since lfp technology is less cheaper nexon look likes over priced😊 when compared to the top end version of both
XUV have more power than nexon... Finally it is really a choice of people... If someone looks spacious car then they can choose XUV otherwise can go for nexon EV.
I like punch Ev but sitting in rear seat is a difficulty... So if anyone have family or anyone travelling with five people than punch EV is not good selection
Absolutely enjoyable review - look forward to seeing more from the presenter!
thank you 🙌🏻❤️
Much appreciated!
ZS EV is another one within 20 lakh. Much superior to both of them.
We'll pit it next
I am sorry but the quality of EV specific reviews in India is abysmal. Not just you guys, its happening across the media. They are being reviewed like regular cars which they are not. Its time we included EV specific parameters in reviews that will help the viewers make informed decisions when opting for EVs instead of getting rude surprises after spending 20 lakhs.
hi anant, would love to know points that can bring more depth to it
@@carswithkaran here you go. You asked for it.
In this particular case the following could have been included:
Difference in battery chemistry:
XUV is NMC
Nexon is LFP
The implications of this battery chemistry:
1. Better Durability of LFP battery:
LFP has ~3000 charge cycles before 20% degradation
NMC has 1500-2000 charge cycles before 20% degradation
2. Daily AC charging implications: LFP can be charged to full every time but NMC can't due to longevity issues.
3. Daily Charging implications leading to shorter usable city range on NMC car. Usable *city* range is what you will experience everyday since 100% range can be used on the Nexon but only 80% can be used on the XUV.
4. DC Fast Charging speeds: The graphic was inconsistent. Nexon was showing 10-80% and XUV was 0-80%. On a road trip, you are far more likely to be charging from 10-80%, not 0-80%. Should have been uniform. Don't quote this from the spec sheet. DYOR. It only takes 1 hour (for the slower charging Tata) and a stopwatch. Length of the charging stop determines how much time is wasted when charging. XUV has a bigger advantage here than shown in the review.
Apart from the above, these will help when you eventually get down to comparing the Seal Premium with the similarly priced Ioniq 5. Or for that matter the Curvv with the Dolphin and MG4 sometime in the next 12 months.
Highway range: This is the range we get when on road trips. Coupled with #4, both of these determine how many times you need charging stops to get from Pune to Goa/Bangalore/Ahmedabad.
Efficiency to be shown in km/KWh. Especially relevant on highways. Better efficiency + faster charging speed = Shorter charging stops and faster trips. This metric is more important to reaching your far off destination faster than the 0-100kph time. This separates the men from the boys. Shows how much better a Tesla 3 is than a Seal. Or ZS advantage over Nexon.
ADAS features: Cruise control helps get better highway range. So don't just say that ADAS features are a nuisance and you turned it off.
With more options coming in from more brands, EVs are going to get very mass market very soon and all of the above points are important to EVs as these determine whether the EV is the primary or the 2nd/3rd car.
@@Anant.Bhatia.Antz_Bin These are awesome, thank you Anant 🙌🏻⚡️
Why do all EVs look so funny!! Even the petrol variant looks similar but a lot cleaner. For any type of ride, I will prefer Petrol for its reliability and support. EVs are costlier and for long rides I wouldn't take a risk
i definitely get where you’re coming from
Fair enough!
Any formula e technology that has trickled down to the Mahindra?
i’m not sure
but i wish they made a high performance mahindra racing edition
It would in the BE range of cars from Mahindra hopefully
I think someone should do an interview with Mahindra asking about how they plan to integrate the tech into their fleet of cars.
Nothing news or word from them on this!
Bro can u made zsev and all ev car compare
sure
We will, very soon!
Am I am idiot to buy an EV?
nope
If u buy then yes
Not at all!
E🎉red₹gy tr xxxx, xxx,,,,, nkki😅😮😅😅
360° camera nhi XUV 400 me, useless car
I know this person is a tata hater yo
what
That would be wrong, friend!
Should’ve added MG ZS EV Executive trim.
coming up
Next in line!
