Here, where the road is more a suggestion and a steep climb is just part of the morning commute, we don't care about concepts. We care about kaam. Can it carry a propane cylinder up a mud-slick track? Will its battery shiver and die in a foggy December dawn? The Mahindra XUV.e9 isn't a car you see on the road yet.
