The starting price of the XEV 9e is close to the price of Curvv EV's top-spec variants, but for that price, it not only offers bigger dimensions, but also offers a better powertrain setup and a higher claimed range. Its fair competition would be with Tata's upcoming electric SUV: the Tata Safari EV and Tata Harrier EV, and it will be a premium alternative to the Tata Curvv EV, and MG ZS EV.
