Mahindra XEV 9S launched in India: price, features, range and all key highlights

Mahindra has launched the much-anticipated MAHINDRA XEV 9S electric SUV in India, advancing its electric mobility journey. As a leading automotive brand, Mahindra Electric introduces this practical, three-row family SUV focusing on space, comfort, and long-range capability at an accessible price. The XEV 9S offers premium features usually found in higher-priced segments.

This model is Mahindra’s fourth electric vehicle after the XUV400, BE 6, and XEV 9E, showcasing the brand’s commitment to future-ready mobility. With rising demand for practical EVs, especially among families needing spacious cabins, the XEV 9S arrives at the perfect time.

Mahindra XEV 9S price in India

Mahindra has priced the XEV 9S competitively, starting at ₹19.95 lakh (ex-showroom). The top model goes up to ₹29.45 lakh (ex-showroom). This positioning places it between compact EVs and premium full-size electric SUVs, making it an appealing choice for families who want more space without entering the luxury car segment.

The MAHINDRA XEV 9S was officially launched in November 2025, aligning with the brand's festive season strategy.

Design and exterior highlights

The MAHINDRA XEV 9S follows the company’s modern EV design language with sharp lines, futuristic lighting and clean surfaces. The front profile features connected LED DRLs, a closed EV-style grille, triangular LED headlamps and an illuminated Mahindra logo that adds visual attraction. Built on the advanced INGLO platform, the XEV 9S has a true ground-up EV design, giving it a futuristic appearance.

From the side, the silhouette resembles the XUV700, but the XEV 9S includes EV-specific elements like aero-optimized 18-inch alloy wheels. At the rear, the SUV gets sharper LED tail lamps and a clean bumper design, contributing to its premium presence on the road.

Key dimensions:

• Length: 4737 mm
• Width: 1900 mm
• Height: 1745 mm
• Ground clearance: up to 219 mm
• Boot space: 527 litres (with the third row folded)

The SUV is offered in a wide range of colours, including black, blue, velvet red, white and several premium shades.

Colours and customization options

The MAHINDRA XEV 9S stands out with multiple colour options and personalization choices. Shades like Everest White and Ruby Velvet give the SUV a distinct road presence. Buyers can also enhance the vehicle with ambient lighting, premium cabin trims and an illuminated Mahindra logo.

Built on the INGLO platform, the XEV 9S offers excellent interior space, rear AC vents and a well-planned 7-seater layout. With an ex-showroom price starting at ₹19.95 lakh, it brings strong value for a feature-packed electric SUV.

Test drives are available at Mahindra dealerships, and deliveries begin on January 23, 2026.

Interior layout and cabin experience

Inside the MAHINDRA XEV 9S, the standout feature is the full-width triple-screen display setup — including a driver screen, infotainment screen and a dedicated passenger screen. The dual-tone cabin creates an airy feel, while the panoramic sunroof (offered as standard) enhances the sense of openness.

The steering wheel, dashboard materials and upholstery all reflect a higher level of craftsmanship. However, since the AC controls are placed inside the touchscreen, traditional users may need some time to adapt.

Seating comfort and practicality

The XEV 9S is built as a genuine family EV with three seating rows. The second row features slide and recline adjustments for improved comfort. When the third row is not in use, legroom in the second row becomes extremely generous.

The third row is best suited for kids or short-distance travel. With the last row folded, the boot becomes large enough for family trips. Additionally, the vehicle includes a 150-litre frunk that can hold small luggage or charging cables.
