The EV scene in India is heating up fast, and Mahindra is ready to make some serious noise with its new 7-seater electric SUV — the XEV 9S. Yup, Mahindra has dropped the first teaser, and EV lovers are already buzzing about what’s coming next.
Mahindra has teased the XEV 9S as its first full-size 7-seater electric SUV, built on their all-new INGLO EV platform — a skateboard-style design that allows flexible battery, motor, and cabin layouts.
For Mahindra, which has been known for its diesel beasts like the XUV700, this marks a new era — from fuel to full electric. After models like the XEV 9e and BE 6, the new XEV 9S takes Mahindra into a bigger, more premium EV segment.
Why it’s a big deal:
Because most EVs in India are 5-seaters! This one’s going to give families the space they need — without burning fuel. Think of it as Mahindra’s move to create a true “family-friendly electric SUV” that’s big, bold, and made in India.
Launch Date, Price & Positioning
Launch Date: 27 November 2025 (Bengaluru debut confirmed)
Expected Price: ₹21–30 lakh (ex-showroom, India)
Positioning: Premium 7-seater electric SUV
Platform: INGLO modular EV architecture
The XEV 9S is being promoted as a “Big New Electric” SUV, highlighting its three-row comfort and futuristic looks.
Design & Styling — What the Teaser Shows
Even though Mahindra hasn’t revealed everything, the teaser gives us a good idea of what to expect.
Confirmed from teaser:
Bold, long-wheelbase design — clearly meant for 3-row seating.
Closed grille (EV-style) with a full-width LED light bar.
Sleek LED DRLs, aero-designed wheels, and flush door handles.
Roof rails, panoramic sunroof, and dual-tone body add a premium vibe.
💭 Expected (from leaks and insider talk):
Triple-screen dashboard (driver + infotainment + co-passenger).
Ambient lighting, premium sound system (possibly Harman Kardon).
Ventilated and massaging front seats, wireless charging, and OTA updates.
Expected Power, Battery & Tech
Mahindra hasn’t confirmed the full specs yet, but based on their INGLO platform and existing EVs, here’s what we expect:
| Spec Category | What We Know / Expect |
|---|---|
| Platform | INGLO EV platform – fully electric, modular |
| Battery Options | Likely 59 kWh & 79 kWh (from XEV 9e) |
| Range (Expected) | Around 500–650 km (depending on variant) |
| Drive Type | Rear-wheel standard; AWD in top variant |
| Charging | Fast DC charging + multiple AC options |
| ADAS | Level-2 ADAS features expected |
| Interior Layout | 7-seater (2+3+2 or 2+2+3 setup) |
The flat EV floor will also help improve cabin space and comfort — something Indian families will love on long trips.
Why the XEV 9S Could Be a Game-Changer
India’s first true 7-seater EV SUV from a major brand.
Made for families — no compromise on comfort or practicality.
Affordable (for its size) — compared to imported EVs or premium ICE SUVs.
Mahindra’s growing EV network for charging and service support.
With the ₹21–30 lakh pricing, the XEV 9S might become the perfect mix of big SUV + clean energy + homegrown value.
Why It Matters for the Indian EV Scene
The XEV 9S could redefine what Indian families expect from EVs. Until now, most options have been small crossovers or premium imports. Mahindra is giving Indian buyers a “local premium electric SUV” that’s practical, stylish, and loaded with tech.
This could also push other brands like Tata, Hyundai, and MG to bring out their own 7-seater EVs faster — which means more choice for everyone.
Mahindra’s XEV 9S isn’t just another EV — it’s their statement of intent. It’s built for families, powered by tech, and designed to bring electric performance to the big SUV world.
If you’ve been waiting for an EV that can carry your whole family without compromise, this one’s worth watching.
