Conclusion:
The XEV 7e has a very good chance for itself in the market as it sits at a place that targets interests of both, the buyers of XEV 9e and XUV 700. We can conclude with the body shape of XUV 700 and design styling and tech from the XEV 9e, the car is best suited for those people who do not prefer the Coupe SUV look of the XEV 9e and instead prefer to have the big SUV look from the XUV 700. Since the launch of the XUV 700, it has been a great competition to the Tata Harrier. Where the Harrier comes with only Front Wheel-Drive, the XUV 700 is offered with All Wheel Drive. And so seems to be the case with the XEV 7e, as it can be a good competition to the recently launched Tata Harrier EV.
