Mahindra XEV 9S 7-Seat SUV Launch Confirmed: A New Era of Electric Family Mobility Begins
If you’ve been waiting for a spacious, stylish, and fully electric SUV that’s built for Indian families, the wait is nearly over. Mahindra & Mahindra has officially confirmed the launch of its all-new 7-seater electric SUV—the XEV 9S—on November 27, 2025, at its ‘Scream Electric’ event in Bengaluru. This marks a major milestone in Mahindra’s EV journey, as the XEV 9S will be the brand’s first authentic three-row electric SUV, developed from the ground up on the INGLO skateboard platform.
Unlike previous models adapted from internal combustion engines, the Mahindra XEV 9S is a born-electric vehicle, promising better space, performance, and futuristic design. It’s expected to rival the likes of the Tata Curvv EV, Hyundai Ioniq 7, and MG ZS EV in India’s growing premium EV segment.
Launch Date and Event Details
The Mahindra XEV 9S will be unveiled on November 27, 2025, during Mahindra’s ‘Scream Electric’ showcase in Bengaluru. This event marks one year since Mahindra debuted its INGLO-based EVs, including the BE 6 and XEV 9e. The XEV 9S will expand the lineup with a focus on family comfort, long-range capability, and premium features.
Platform and Design: Built on INGLO Architecture
The XEV 9S is built on Mahindra’s INGLO skateboard platform, which allows:
- A flat floor for better cabin space
- Sliding second-row seats for flexible legroom
- Low center of gravity for improved ride comfort and stability
- Modular battery packs for scalable range options
This architecture also supports fast charging, connected car tech, and ADAS Level 2 features, making the XEV 9S one of the most advanced EVs in Mahindra’s portfolio.
Exterior Styling and Interior Layout
While official images are yet to be revealed, spy shots and concept cues suggest:
- Connected LED DRLs and dual-pod LED headlights
- Blanked-off grille for aerodynamic efficiency
- Panoramic sunroof and flush door handles
- Three-row seating with premium upholstery
- Digital cockpit with dual screens and ambient lighting
The XEV 9S is expected to offer ample boot space, wireless charging, and voice-activated controls, making it ideal for tech-savvy families.
Expected Powertrain and Range
Though Mahindra hasn’t confirmed specs yet, the Mahindra XEV 9S is likely to offer:
- Dual motor AWD setup on higher variants
- Battery capacity between 60–80 kWh
- Range of 450–600 km depending on variant
- 0–100 km/h in under 7 seconds for performance trims
- Regenerative braking and multiple drive modes
These figures would place the XEV 9S ahead of most current EVs in India in terms of range and acceleration.
Expected Price and Variants
The Mahindra XEV 9S is expected to be priced between ₹35 lakh and ₹45 lakh (ex-showroom), depending on battery size and features. It will likely be offered in three trims—Standard, Luxury, and Performance—with bookings opening shortly after the launch.
Mahindra may also offer introductory pricing, exchange bonuses, and EV subsidies under FAME III and state-level schemes.
