The Mahindra XEV 9S is the ultimate electric SUV for large families, built on the versatile INGLO platform. Unlike its coupe-styled sibling (XEV 9e), the 9S features a more traditional SUV silhouette with a higher roofline to comfortably accommodate its 7-seater layout. It offers three battery options, including a unique 70 kWh pack that bridges the gap between range and value. The rear-wheel-drive motor provides effortless power, ensuring that even with a full load of seven passengers, the vehicle delivers punchy acceleration and a smooth, silent ride.
The highlight of the XEV 9S is the massive 12.3-inch triple-screen dashboard that stretches across the front, providing dedicated displays for the driver, infotainment, and the front passenger. The second row is designed for executive comfort, featuring sliding and reclining seats with a dedicated "Boss Mode" that allows rear passengers to move the front passenger seat forward for extra legroom. For entertainment, the SUV is equipped with a 16-speaker Harman Kardon sound system with Dolby Atmos, and higher trims even offer additional screens for second-row passengers.
Safety is a core pillar for the XEV 9S, which has earned a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating. It comes with up to 7 airbags and a comprehensive Level 2+ ADAS suite including Adaptive Cruise Control and Blind Spot Monitoring. The vehicle also introduces "Auto Park" technology, making it easy to maneuver such a large SUV into tight spots. Charging is incredibly fast; with a 180 kW DC charger, the 79 kWh battery can be charged from 20% to 80% in just 20 minutes, while a standard 11.2 kW AC home charger takes about 8 hours for a full charge.
