Mahindra XEV 9s Seven-seater Electric SUV: Here Everything You Need To Know!

The Mahindra XEV 9S marks the company’s next major step in its electric vehicle lineup. Built on the same INGLO platform as the XEV 9e and BE series it promises to deliver strong performance, a premium cabin and modern design language. With its debut approaching the SUV is already generating significant attention among electric car buyers looking for a large family friendly option

Expected Price of Mahindra XEV 9S

Mahindra is yet to announce the official price, but the Mahindra XEV 9S is expected to be positioned higher than the XEV 9e
Here’s what to expect

• The XEV 9e starts at around Rs 21.90 lakh and goes up to Rs 30.50 lakh (ex showroom)
• The XEV 9S being larger and offering an extra row of seats is likely to be priced in the Rs 25 lakh to Rs 35 lakh range
• This positions it as a premium choice in the mass market electric SUV space appealing to buyers looking for a spacious yet fully electric model

Interior And Features Of Mahindra XEV 9S

The Mahindra XEV 9S is designed to deliver a premium and tech-rich cabin experience for families. While the teaser doesn’t reveal the full interior, leaked images have offered a good look at what to expect inside this upcoming seven-seater electric SUV

• The dashboard layout will closely resemble that of the XEV 9e, featuring a triple-screen setup with three 12.3 inch displays one each for the driver, infotainment system and front passenger
• A new two spoke steering wheel with an illuminated Mahindra logo adds a futuristic touch to the cockpit
• The cabin will follow a 7-seater layout, though Mahindra may later consider a 6-seater variant with captain seats for the middle row

When it comes to comfort and convenience, the XEV 9S is expected to carry over most of the advanced features seen on its sibling models:

• Ventilated and powered front seats with a massage function for enhanced comfort during long drives
• Triple-zone automatic climate control, allowing separate temperature settings for front and rear passengers
• A 16-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, designed to deliver high-quality audio throughout the cabin
• Multiple wireless charging pads for hassle-free device charging on the go
• Multi color ambient lighting, creating a premium and customizable in-cabin atmosphere

Rivals of Mahindra XEV 9S

At the time of its launch the Mahindra XEV 9S will have no direct competitors in the Indian market.
Here’s why

• It will be the first mass-market three-row electric SUV priced below Rs 50 lakh
• Current electric vehicles with three-row layouts such as the Kia Carens Clavis EV and BYD eMax 7, are more of MPVs rather than true SUVs
• This gives the XEV 9S a unique position until more brands introduce similar products

Mahindra has teased a few design highlights of the XEV 9S, and it looks like the model will feature a blend of bold styling and practicality.
The SUV’s design approach appears to be slightly more conventional compared to the futuristic look of the BE 6 and XEV 9e

• The teaser shows sleek LED daytime running lights (DRLs) paired with triangular LED headlamps, much like the setup on the XEV 9e
• It will carry Mahindra’s ‘butterfly’ logo, seen across its new-generation electric vehicles
• The roofline appears more traditional giving the SUV a balanced profile, while the rear section takes cues from the XUV700, including smoked tail lamps and a revised bumper for a sporty finish

This mix of futuristic and practical styling is expected to make the XEV 9S stand out as a family-oriented yet premium electric SUV

Mahindra XEV 9s Battery Options And Performance

While Mahindra has not confirmed the battery pack details, industry reports suggest that the Mahindra XEV 9S could share the same options as the BE 6 and XEV 9e.
This means

• Two LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery options – 59 kWh and 79 kWh – are expected
• Both batteries currently power a single rear-mounted electric motor in the BE 6 and XEV 9e
• For the XEV 9S, Mahindra may introduce an all-wheel-drive (AWD) configuration by adding a front motor
• This setup will improve traction and performance, especially useful for larger SUVs with extra weight and passengers

Depending on the configuration the XEV 9S should deliver a strong driving range, likely between 450 km and 500 km per charge under standard conditions.

Mahindra XEV 9s Platform And Technology

The Mahindra XEV 9S will be based on the brand’s INGLO EV platform, which also underpins other upcoming Mahindra electric models

Key benefits of this platform include

• Modular design, allowing flexibility in battery sizes and drivetrain configurations
• Fast-charging capability, supporting high-speed DC charging to reduce downtime
• Enhanced safety structure, developed to meet global crash standards
• Improved interior space management, allowing a flat floor for better legroom and third-row comfort

This advanced platform ensures that the XEV 9S will be competitive not just in design but also in technology and safety

Launch Timeline Of Mahindra XEV 9S

The official debut of Mahindra XEV 9S is confirmed for November 27.
After its unveiling, the SUV is expected to enter production in early 2026, followed by sales commencing later that year. Mahindra is expected to launch the model both in domestic and international markets expanding its electric vehicle footprint globally
