The Harrier EV is a traditionally styled SUV, unlike the XEV 9e, which features a more futuristic look with an SUV-coupe design. In terms of size, the Harrier EV is wider and taller than the XEV 9e; however, the XEV 9e is significantly longer and has a longer wheelbase, which should translate to slightly more legroom inside the cabin.
In fact, the XEV 9e also offers more storage space, both in its boot and frunk.
