And feel free to ask more!<\/p>\n<p><strong>XUV400 Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>No rear AC vents, ventilated seats, automatic climate control. This is my biggest issue. Unacceptable at this price point.<\/li>\n<li>Remote unlock or start via app, pre cooling etc doesn&#8217;t work. The GPS tracking works around 30% of the time.<\/li>\n<li>Interiors look a decade old.<\/li>\n<li>Hideous bronze accents on the outside.<\/li>\n<li>Not enough USB charging ports. Never thought I&#8217;ll have to buy a ciggerate lighter charger in 2023!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>XUV400 Indifferent points:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lack of cruise control. As its not adaptive, doesn&#8217;t add much of a convience, nor does it add range.<\/li>\n<li>Drive modes. Starts in eco\/fun. Have managed to wheel spin in this!<\/li>\n<li>Regen modes. There&#8217;s the L gear for single pedal driving. Leave the A pedal and it slows down to standstill. But doesn&#8217;t impact range at all. The default D mode does a decent job of &#8216;engine braking&#8217; style regen while giving those being driven a less jerky experience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>More on its regen modes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Would I prefer finer controls?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Why not, but I doubt I&#8217;ll use it in daily driving. A zero regen mode is missed though, would love to use it on outstation trips.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Would we get use out of Kona style paddle shifters?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Definitely not. It&#8217;s an enthusiast&#8217;s thing. Unfortunately the average driver doesn&#8217;t want to learn or meddle with braking without the B pedal.<\/p>\n<p>I LOVED the long hold feature of the Kona and was convinced to take the plunge for this, but better sense prevailed for the sake of the family.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is L gear usable?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, only because it gives single pedal experience in b2b traffic. Else useless. Used it &lt;5% of the time I&#8217;m on the wheel. No one else cares for it. Would hate to be driven while someone is on high regen if they don&#8217;t know what they are doing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>XUV400 Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Overall space. Upgrade from any sub 4m SUV. *almost* in seltos\/creta category. 3 in a row at the back, headroom for tall ones along with a sunroof, 6 footers back to back &#8211; all tick marks.<\/li>\n<li>Great comfort. Especially backseat when compared to all other sub 30L EVs. (Was a priority as it&#8217;s 95% chauffeur driven) Overall ergonomics are sorted with decent knee room, average under thigh support (rare in EVs) &amp; comfy seat contouring.<\/li>\n<li>Ideal suspension and handling combination.<\/li>\n<li>Chiller AC, compared to all other sub 30L EVs. Despite the cons mentioned on this above.<\/li>\n<li>Updates. Got a soft version of hill hold at some point I think. Android auto reliability seems better than before. BMS was updated too. They have offered free hardware update with ESP, TC, CC, TPMS. All in 6 months of launch.<\/li>\n<li>Zero niggles, fast charging related issues, charger getting locked etc. MCB of the home charger trips once in a while, but I guess it&#8217;s the charger-wiring-meter issue, rather than the BMS.<\/li>\n<li>Higher DC charging speeds than Tatas.<\/li>\n<li>Amazing service experience. Dedicated trained personnel for EVs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Read BHPian comments for more insights and information.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/news\/15000-km-7-months-my-xuv400-ev-8-pros-5-cons\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Higher DC charging speeds as compared to the Tata Nexon EV is a boon.
