Mahindra XEV 9e shed 12 percentage points to 32.7% and slipped to rank 5 in Electric Cars, the edition's biggest single decline, while Tata Nexon EV extended its lead to 60%.

The move

Tata Nexon EV retained the lead at 60% citation share, gaining 3.3 percentage points from the previous edition's 56.7%, and was ranked first by ChatGPT at 60% and Google AI Mode at 68%.

Gemini chose Tata Punch EV as its leader at 64%, with Punch EV holding 50.7% overall. Mahindra XEV 9e was the biggest mover, losing 12 percentage points to 32.7% and dropping one rank to fifth.

MG ZS EV and Hyundai Kona EV each gained more than 10 percentage points this edition, rising to ranks 7 and 9 respectively, and 31 new domains entered the citation pool including livemint.com, ndtv.com, and indiatoday.in.

What it means

At 60%, Tata Nexon EV leads a competitive vertical where no brand is dominant; the top three brands span 60% to 46%, a range that keeps this category open to rank shifts.

The Gemini split favoring Tata Punch EV is less a competitive threat to the overall leader than a reflection of Tata's own two-model presence, with engines distributing citations between two Tata products rather than elevating a rival.

Mahindra XEV 9e's 12 percentage-point loss is large but should be read as edition volatility given the brand's active product and media cycle; at 32.7% and rank 5, it remains well-cited and is not structurally displaced.

The simultaneous gains by MG ZS EV and Hyundai Kona EV suggest the mid-tier is actively contested, with citation share available to brands that maintain consistent publishing in review and comparison formats.

The 31 new domains, including mainstream news and auto media, indicate growing coverage that benefits brands with strong news hooks and media relations programs.
