• Between the Tata Nexon EV and Mahindra XUV400, it’s the latter that’s a bigger model because it measures over four metres in length. The Tata EV, on the other hand, is a sub-4m offering as it’s a direct EV equivalent of the internal combustion engine (ICE) powered Nexon.

• The Mahindra XUV400 also leads the way when it comes to overall width, height and wheelbase between the two which should give it the advantage of having a roomier cabin here.

• If you want an electric SUV with a larger boot space, it’s again the Mahindra XUV400 that should be your pick as it has an additional 28 litres of storage space on offer that is likely to help in stacking a couple of more soft bags.
