Tata Punch EV added 11.3 percentage points to reach 69% citation share, driven by Gemini and Google AI Mode both ranking it first, while ChatGPT continues to favor Mahindra BE 6 at rank 1. Tata Punch EV extended its lead to 69% citation share, up from 57.7% in the previous edition, with the gain concentrated in Gemini (78.6%, rank 1) and Google AI Mode (71.4%, rank 1), while ChatGPT ranked it third at 57.1% and instead gave first position to Mahindra BE 6 at 66.7%. Mahindra BE 6 itself gained 9.3 percentage points to 54.8% and rose to third place, with the engine split showing BE 6 strongest on ChatGPT and weakest on AI Mode at 40.5%. BYD Seal was the sharpest decliner, losing 10.1 percentage points to 15.1% and falling two ranks, with AI Mode especially soft at 7.1%, consistent with a possible deprioritization of Chinese EV brands in Google's citation layer. The source pool saw a substantial expansion with 41 new domains, including reddit.com/r/mahindrabe6, mahindraelectricsuv.com, evradar.in, and thatsmyev.com.

Editor's note

25 June 2026 · 21:00 IST

Cite Solutions Research

Tata Punch EV added 11.3 percentage points to reach 69% citation share, driven by Gemini and Google AI Mode both ranking it first, while ChatGPT continues to favor Mahindra BE 6 at rank 1.

The move

Tata Punch EV extended its lead to 69% citation share, up from 57.7% in the previous edition, with the gain concentrated in Gemini (78.6%, rank 1) and Google AI Mode (71.4%, rank 1), while ChatGPT ranked it third at 57.1% and instead gave first position to Mahindra BE 6 at 66.7%.

Mahindra BE 6 itself gained 9.3 percentage points to 54.8% and rose to third place, with the engine split showing BE 6 strongest on ChatGPT and weakest on AI Mode at 40.5%.

BYD Seal was the sharpest decliner, losing 10.1 percentage points to 15.1% and falling two ranks, with AI Mode especially soft at 7.1%, consistent with a possible deprioritization of Chinese EV brands in Google's citation layer.

The source pool saw a substantial expansion with 41 new domains, including reddit.com/r/mahindrabe6, mahindraelectricsuv.com, evradar.in, and thatsmyev.com.

What it means

The engine split is the key signal in this edition: Gemini and AI Mode have converged on Tata Punch EV as the default EV citation while ChatGPT defaults to Mahindra BE 6, meaning a brand's aggregate citation share depends materially on the engine mix of its audience.

At 69%, Punch EV leads a competitive vertical where the top five brands span from 69% down to 38%, so no brand is locked in.

The BYD Seal drop to 15.1% with near-zero AI Mode representation is worth monitoring as a potential structural shift rather than noise, given AI Mode's role as a Google-native surface where domestic brand signals may be weighted differently.

For operators, the divergent engine rankings make engine-specific monitoring more informative than blended citation share; a brand's optimization strategy for Gemini citation patterns may produce entirely different leaderboard outcomes than one focused on ChatGPT.
