Mahindra will unveil the XEV 9S, a three-row electric SUV built on the INGLO skateboard platform, on November 27 at the ‘Scream Electric’ event in Bengaluru.
This model is positioned to be Mahindra’s most spacious EV yet and marks a major step in the company’s electric-vehicle plans.
Mahindra Set to Unveil XEV 9S Three-Row Electric SUV at ‘Scream Electric’ Event on November 27
The XEV 9S will enter a segment with almost no direct competitors, becoming India’s first mainstream 7-seater electric SUV priced between Rs 22 lakh and Rs 35 lakh (ex-showroom).
Although the Kia Carens Clavis EV also offers seven seats, its MPV-style design leaves Mahindra with an edge among buyers seeking a true SUV.
The XEV 9S benefits from a unique market position, giving it an early lead in an underdeveloped segment.
The exterior adopts a tall, practical shape rather than the sportier rooflines seen on models like the BE 6 and XEV 9e.
The SUV’s silhouette is straighter and more family-focused to maximise space inside.
Teaser images highlight slim LED DRLs, triangular projector elements, Mahindra’s new butterfly emblem, and a rear design inspired by the XUV700 with smoother surfaces and smoked tail-lamps.
Mahindra XEV 9S: Specifications and Features
A key exterior feature will be an openable panoramic sunroof, improving on the fixed glass roofs seen in some other Mahindra EVs.
Inside, the cabin appears to be among Mahindra’s most premium, featuring a lounge-like layout with soft-touch surfaces, modern door pads, and updated toggle-style power window switches.
A Harman Kardon audio system, also present in other top-end Mahindra EVs, enhances the luxury feel.
The dashboard continues the three-screen setup, including a digital driver display, central infotainment unit, and a separate passenger screen.
Convenience features include a power-adjustable driver’s seat with memory, ventilated seats, wireless charging, multi-zone climate control, and ambient lighting.
Sliding and reclining seats in the first and second rows, along with a flat floor from the INGLO platform, improve cabin flexibility and third-row access.
Although official powertrain details are pending, the XEV 9S will likely use the 59kWh and 79kWh LFP battery packs found in the XEV 9e and BE 6.
Higher variants are expected to deliver a driving range of over 500km and support ultra-fast DC charging for both city and highway travel.
Pricing is estimated between Rs 22 lakh and Rs 35 lakh depending on variants and battery choices.
By blending family-friendly space with advanced EV technology, the XEV 9S aims to establish a new niche in India’s electric SUV market.
Full details on specifications, performance, and variants will be disclosed during its premiere on November 27.
