Who Is This Car For
In short: It’s a reasonably priced electric SUV offering for India with typical family-SUV size, decent electric range, modern features, and the Mahindra SUV styling.
Key highlights: all-electric powertrain, multiple battery options, fairly decent range for the segment, connected car features.
Key potential compromises: some reviews cite that interior design feels carried over from prior ICE models and not as premium as expected for EV.
