Mahindra XEV 9E First Drive & Range: Lucknow to Bareilly after delivery

Hard to explain in words how good the ride quality is. Car is very smooth, cuts the outside noise very well and doesn't make you feel very tired after a long trip.

Thanks Mods for approving my account!

Received delivery of 9E on March 30th from Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh:
I live in Lucknow but could not find a good deal here and hence made a booking in Bareilly where dealer agreed to deliver without charger and reasonably priced insurance. Overall delivery process was very smooth, vehicle is March manufactured as decoded from chassis number. SoH 98% at the time of delivery and ODO 59kms.

Battery experience: We drove back to Lucknow the same day. 5 of us, with lots of luggage(my relatives live there and they came with us) from there that filled up the entire trunk. Drove like an ICE car on default mode. Maintained 90-100Km/h on highways. AC on 22 degrees, fan speed 2. Upon reaching home in Lucknow, ODO read 379Kms with 30% battery left. That's a range of about 470Kms which I believe is good enough given the car was fully packed.

Ride experience: Hard to explain in words how good the ride quality is. Car is very smooth, cuts the outside noise very well and doesn't make you feel very tired after a long trip.

What's challenging:

• No Apple car play yet.

• So many sensors here and there, it will take some time to get used to it.

• Mobile app not yet enabled for me and dealer said it will take a week more for that

I will keep posting more updated after driving it for few more weeks.
