The Mahindra XEV 9S will revolutionize electric family mobility in India with the distinct feat of being India’s first all-electric seven-seater SUV. Bold design, premium materials and a wealth of technology come together in a package that is perfectly suited for both downtown and the open road.
Teased early November 2025, the INGLO platform-based EV is the next step in Mahindra’s Born Electric family following in the footsteps of XEV 9e and BE 6.
Going on sale in Bengaluru from November 27, 2025, the XEV 9S offers a range of up to 500 km and class-leading ADAS along with a 6 or 7-seat configuration. Positioned as a competitor to the Tata Safari EV and Kia Carens Clavis EV, it is anticipated to be priced between ₹21–30 lakh (ex-showroom). With Mahindra’s 7-year/1.5 lakh km battery warranty and an expected 5-star Bharat NCAP rating, it aims for those who want XUV700 type space without emissions.

Mahindra XEV 9S Features: Bold Design Meets Family Comfort
The XEV 9S from Mahindra has a 4.8-meters of length and stations bold SUV position. Its exterior highlights comprise a blanked-off grille, thin LED DRLs, triangular projector headlamps and linked taillamps that are said to reflect Mahindra’s new electric design language.
Flush door handles, 19in aero enthusiasts and matte black details improve aerodynamic performance. The SUV will be available in both six- and seven-seater layouts with a straight roofline that maximizes headroom—perfect for Indian families.
Inside, the cabin brings near-luxury levels of comfort with a triple 12.3-inch display setup (instrument cluster, infotainment, and passenger screen), supporting wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, OTA updates, and a 16-speaker Harman Kardon sound system.

Arriving on November 27, 2025, and priced at an estimated ₹21-30 lakh, the Mahindra XEV 9S is a mad mash of a 500 km range meets seven-seat practicality combined with triple-screen tech in a style that’s bolder than bold.
