INTRODUCTION

Electric vehicles (EVs) are no longer a thing of the future – they are the present, and they’re
here to stay. With the rising fuel prices and growing concern for the environment, EVs have
become an exciting and smart choice for Indian consumers. Three big names in the Indian EV
space are Mahindra, MG (Morris Garages), anld Tata Motors. All three companies have
launched some impressive electric cars that not only look stylish but also perform well on Indian
roads.
In this article, we’ll compare these three brands their most popular electric cars, how they look,
how they drive, and whether they are worth the money. Let’s see which EV wheels win in 2025!

 

1. Design and Style – Which One Turns Heads?

Tata Motors

Tata has been leading the EV race in India for a while now. The Tata NexonEV and Tata Punch
EV are both very popular. The NexonEV got a facelift in 2024 and now looks sharper and
sportier. It has LED lights, a strong front grille, and an SUV-like bold design. The interiors are
neat with a modern dashboard and a large touchscreen.
The Tata Punch EV, on the other hand, is compact and funky, perfect for city rides. It has split
headlamps and a futuristic look which appeals to younger buyers.

MG Motors

MG’s ZS EV is all about premium style. It has a sleek body, sharp LED DRLs, and a bold front
face. The car gives off a luxury feel from the outside and inside. It has a panoramic sunroof,
digital cockpit, and soft-touch materials that make it feel like a high-end car.

Mahindra

Mahindra is catching up fast with its electric models like the XUV400 EV and the upcoming BE
series. The XUV400 has a muscular SUV design similar to the XUV300 but with EV styling like
blue accents and a closed grille. Mahindra’s future BE models like the BE.05 are ultra-modern
with aggressive styling, LED stripes, and a very sci-fi appearance.

Winner (Style): MG takes the crown for premium looks, but Tata offers the best balance of style
and practicality.

2. Performance and Driving Experience

Tata Motors

Tata’s EVs are known for solid performance and smooth rides. The Nexon EV Long Range (LR)
gives a range of around 465 km on a full charge and can go from 0-100 km/h in under 9
seconds. It’s fast enough for city and highway use and handles bumps quite well. The Punch EV
is smaller and zippy, great for tight traffic and short commutes.

MG Motors

The MG ZS EV is very impressive in performance. It offers around 500 km range, one of the
highest in the segment. It’s quick and comfortable, with modes like Eco, Normal, and Sport. The suspension is tuned for Indian roads, and the drive feels refined. Plus, it has ADAS (Advanced
Driver Assistance Systems), making it safer on highways.

Mahindra

Mahindra’s XUV400 EV offers a range of up to 456 km and a strong torque delivery. It’s fun to
drive and has a “fun mode” for that extra kick. The upcoming BE models are expected to be
even better, with more powerful motors and quicker acceleration. However, Mahindra still has
some catching up to do when it comes to ride comfort and advanced features.

Winner (Performance): MG wins again for longer range and smoother drive, but Tata comes
close, especially with its improving tech.

3. Technology and Features

Tata Motors

Tata has upgraded its EVs with better tech like a 12.3-inch touchscreen, digital instrument
cluster, connected car features, wireless charging, and ventilated seats. Tata EVs also come
with ZConnect app support for remote control and tracking.

MG Motors

MG ZS EV shines in this category. It includes ADAS Level 2, 360-degree camera, voice
commands, and a larger touchscreen interface. MG’s i-SMART system gives over-the-air (OTA)
updates, real-time maps, and remote vehicle control. It even includes an air purifier and wireless
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Mahindra

Mahindra has improved its tech game with the XUV400, offering connected features, driving
modes, and a 7-inch infotainment screen. But it’s still behind Tata and MG. However, its INGLO
platform for upcoming BE models promises better software, HUD (Head-Up Display), and
connected car tech in the future.

Winner (Tech): MG leads again, with Tata following closely. Mahindra is still in the game but
needs to level up.

4. Price and Value for Money

Tata offers the most affordable range, especially for budget-conscious buyers. MG is expensive
but provides more features and luxury. Mahindra is competitively priced but currently offers
fewer models.

Winner (Value): Tata wins here it offers great performance and features at lower prices.

 Conclusion

Choosing between Mahindra, MG, and Tata in 2025 isn’t easy each one has its strengths. Tata
is best for people looking for reliability, solid performance, and affordability. MG stands out in
terms of style, luxury, and features, but it’s more premium-priced. Mahindra is still growing in the
EV space and has some exciting futuristic models coming up.

If you want a practical EV for daily use and are on a budget, go with Tata. If you want premium
features and longer range, MG is your car. And if you’re willing to wait for the latest futuristic EV
tech, Mahindra’s BE line might surprise you.

In the end, all three brands are pushing India towards a cleaner, electric future and that’s
something we all should support.
