π A New Chapter in Mahindra’s EV Journey
Mahindra has been steadily building its electric portfolio, starting with the XUV400 and expanding with futuristic concepts like the BE series. The XEV 9S marks a turning point—it’s not just about electrification, but about creating a true 7-seater electric SUV that blends practicality, performance, and premium features.

⚡ Powertrain & Performance
One of the most exciting aspects of the XEV 9S is its dual battery options:
59 kWh pack for those who want affordability without compromising too much on range.
79 kWh pack for buyers who crave longer drives and fewer charging stops.
This flexibility ensures that Mahindra caters to both urban commuters and highway travelers. While official range figures vary depending on driving conditions, expect the larger battery to comfortably cross the 450 km mark.
Acceleration is smooth, silent, and instant—thanks to the nature of electric motors. For families upgrading from petrol or diesel SUVs, the whisper-quiet cabin and effortless torque delivery will feel like stepping into the future.

π‘️ Safety & Technology
Safety is a big selling point here. The XEV 9S comes equipped with:
ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) for semi-autonomous driving.
Multiple airbags and reinforced body structure.
Connected car features for remote monitoring and updates.
This makes it not just a family SUV, but a family protector. In an era where safety ratings matter as much as horsepower, Mahindra has ensured the XEV 9S ticks all the right boxes.
π° Pricing & Value
Starting at ₹19.95 lakh (ex-showroom), the XEV 9S is aggressively priced. The top-end variant with the bigger battery goes up to around ₹21.95 lakh, which is still competitive compared to global rivals.
For Indian buyers, this pricing is crucial. It positions the XEV 9S as an attainable electric SUV, not just a luxury experiment. Combine that with lower running costs of EVs, and you’ve got a compelling case for families considering the switch.

π Why It Matters
The launch of the XEV 9S isn’t just about another SUV—it’s about India’s EV revolution gaining momentum. By offering a spacious, feature-rich, and affordable 7-seater EV, Mahindra is addressing a gap in the market.
Most EVs today are either compact hatchbacks or premium crossovers. The XEV 9S, however, is designed for big Indian families, long road trips, and everyday practicality. It’s not just an EV—it’s an EV that understands India.
The Mahindra XEV 9S is more than a car—it’s a promise of what Indian EVs can be. Spacious, stylish, safe, and smart, it’s built to win over skeptics who think electric cars aren’t ready for family duty.
If you’re in the market for a new SUV, the XEV 9S deserves serious consideration. It’s not just about saving fuel or reducing emissions—it’s about embracing the future without compromising on the present.
