Let’s take a detailed look at how these two rivals stack up in terms of price, size, battery options, and performance.
Starting with pricing, the Tata Harrier EV is priced at Rs 21.49 lakh (ex-showroom). Though Tata has yet to reveal a detailed variant-wise price list, this introductory figure places the Harrier EV about Rs 1 lakh cheaper than the base variant of the Mahindra XEV 9e, which is priced between Rs 22.65 lakh and Rs 31.25 lakh (ex-showroom), including the cost of a charger.
When it comes to dimensions, the Harrier EV measures 4607 mm in length, 2132 mm in width, and 1740 mm in height. The Mahindra XEV 9e is longer at 4789 mm but narrower and slightly lower, measuring 1907 mm wide and 1694 mm tall. Both SUVs have similar wheelbases, with the Harrier EV at 2741 mm and the XEV 9e slightly longer at 2775 mm, indicating more cabin space in the Mahindra.

The Tata Harrier EV comes with two battery options: a 65 kWh and a larger 75 kWh pack. The 75 kWh variant features a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system delivering 156 bhp on the front axle and 235 bhp at the rear, producing a combined torque of 504 Nm. This setup allows the Harrier EV to sprint from 0-100 kmph in just 6.3 seconds. In contrast, the Mahindra XEV 9e offers 59 kWh and 79 kWh battery packs, with power outputs ranging from 228 bhp to 282 bhp and torque up to 380 Nm. It’s a rear-wheel-drive vehicle and takes 6.8 seconds to reach 100 kmph in its fastest form. While the XEV 9e produces more peak power, the Harrier EV’s all-wheel-drive setup and higher torque give it an edge in acceleration and overall driving dynamics.
On the range front, the Harrier EV claims a maximum driving range of 627 km with its 75 kWh battery according to MIDC Part 1 + Part 2 Cycle figures. Real-world testing by Tata suggests a practical range between 480 and 505 km. The Mahindra XEV 9e delivers a range of 542 km with the smaller battery and up to 656 km with the larger 79 kWh pack, making it the longer-range option in this comparison.
