Positioned above the BE 6e, the XEV 9e takes the crown as Mahindra’s most luxurious electric SUV yet, with prices starting at ₹21.90 lakh (ex-showroom). Deliveries are set to begin in early 2025.
Striking Design and Imposing Dimensions
The Mahindra XEV 9e showcases a bold coupe-SUV design, standing out with its aerodynamic lines, flush door handles, and connected LED lighting elements. At 4,790mm in length, it is larger than the XUV700, boasting a wheelbase of 2,775mm for generous cabin space. With its elevated ground clearance and signature infinity logo, the XEV 9e exudes road presence and sophistication.
Futuristic Interiors and Advanced Tech
Step inside, and you’re greeted by a triple-screen layout with three 12.3-inch displays—a first in any mainstream Indian car. The XEV 9e also features a panoramic sunroof, a Harman Kardon 16-speaker audio system with Dolby Atmos, and cutting-edge connectivity powered by Mahindra's Adrenox software. Highlights include wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a VisionX head-up display, and Level 2 ADAS for enhanced safety and convenience.
Comfort isn’t compromised, with premium materials, spacious seating, and thoughtful touches like cooled storage, Type-C fast charging ports, and a 665-liter boot with a 150-liter frunk.
Performance Meets Efficiency
