Our take
The real reason to pay ₹1.70L more for the Urban Cruiser eBella E3: airbags (7 against 6), level 2 (core suite) ADAS and 360° camera. The useful extras on top: 10-way powered driver seat and front parking sensors. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- The XEV 9e Pack One is the strongest of the two at 231 PS
- Also on the Urban Cruiser eBella E3: blind spot monitor, SOS emergency call (E-call / B-call), JBL system with Dolby Atmos and single-pane sunroof, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Urban Cruiser eBella E3, you give up tri-screen cabin layout, touchscreen (12.3" against 10.1") and headlamps (Bi-LED projector against LED projector), which the XEV 9e Pack One keeps
- Choose the Mahindra XEV 9e Pack One if
- You would rather keep the ₹1.70L than pay for kit you will not miss, and the EV running costs seal it
- Choose the Toyota Urban Cruiser eBella E3 if
- You will do long stints in this car and want the daily comforts
