Mahindra is all set to expand its electric lineup with the upcoming Mahindra XEV 9S, a premium 7-seater electric SUV designed for families who want both space and sustainability. The company has officially confirmed that the new model will make its global debut on November 27, 2025.
This EV will not only be Mahindra’s largest electric vehicle yet but also the first one to offer three-row seating, combining luxury, performance, and practicality in one futuristic design.
Mahindra’s Born-Electric Vision
The XEV 9S will be built on Mahindra’s advanced INGLO platform, a modular electric skateboard architecture designed exclusively for next-generation EVs. Unlike older models converted from fuel-based platforms, this one is built from the ground up as an electric vehicle — meaning better performance, battery efficiency, and interior flexibility.
According to early reports, the INGLO platform can support various battery sizes and drive configurations, allowing Mahindra to fine-tune performance and range for different markets.
Design & Exterior Highlights
Mahindra has hinted that the XEV 9S will carry a bold and futuristic design with a distinctive front fascia, sleek LED lighting, and a large panoramic sunroof. It’s expected to have connected LED DRLs, a signature design element found on Mahindra’s future EV range.
The overall silhouette looks muscular yet aerodynamic, suggesting that the Mahindra XEV 9S design is not just about looks — it’s crafted to reduce drag and enhance efficiency. The 9S could also feature flush door handles, aero wheels, and a premium dual-tone body finish.
High-Tech Cabin & Interior Experience
Inside, Mahindra aims to deliver a tech-rich cabin that rivals luxury brands. Leaks suggest a three-screen dashboard setup one for the driver, one infotainment screen in the center, and one for the front passenger.
Expect advanced features such as:
-
Wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay
-
360-degree camera system
-
Advanced driver-assistance (ADAS Level 2+)
-
Dual-zone climate control
-
Ambient lighting and voice-command integration
The Mahindra XEV 9S interior will also feature premium vegan leather seats, flexible third-row access, and a flat floor layout, thanks to the electric skateboard chassis.
Battery, Range & Performance
While official battery specifications are yet to be revealed, sources close to Mahindra hint at a battery pack offering up to 500–550 km of claimed range on a single charge. The vehicle will likely come with dual-motor all-wheel drive and fast charging support, allowing up to 80% charge in around 25 minutes using a DC fast charger.
With the INGLO platform’s cutting-edge battery management system, the Mahindra XEV 9S range is expected to perform strongly even under full load — perfect for long highway drives with the family.
Expected Price & Competition
Although Mahindra hasn’t disclosed official pricing, industry analysts expect the Mahindra XEV 9S price in India to start around ₹35–40 lakh (ex-showroom). This places it against premium electric SUVs like the Hyundai Ioniq 7, Kia EV9, and the upcoming Tata 7-seater EV.
Mahindra is targeting customers who want a luxury, spacious electric SUV with advanced tech but at a more accessible price than imported EVs.
Sustainability & Future Vision
Mahindra has been clear about its “Born Electric” philosophy every upcoming EV, including the XEV 9S, will be part of a carbon-conscious manufacturing process. From eco-friendly materials in the interior to renewable energy-powered plants, the brand aims to achieve net-zero emissions by 2040.
This commitment reflects Mahindra’s transformation from a traditional SUV maker to a modern, clean-mobility leader in India.
