Verdict

The XEV 9e sees a price increment of around Rs 3 lakh between each variant. That said, if you're considering the electric SUV coupe primarily for its practicality and style and can manage with a smaller battery pack, the base variant offers great value for the price. However, if you prefer a more premium experience with additional upmarket features, the one-above-base Pack Two variant would be the ideal pick.

While the higher variants still provide good value, the Pack Three Select variant mostly includes add-ons that aren’t essential to your daily driving needs. As for the top-spec Pack Three, it doesn't bring many extra features. Its main highlight is the larger battery pack. So, unless extended range and better performance are your priorities, spending extra for the top-spec trim may not be necessary.
