The Mahindra XEV 9S is a seven-seater electric SUV recently launched by Mahindra & Mahindra, designed to combine electric-vehicle efficiency with family-SUV practicality. With multiple battery pack options and a tiered variant lineup, the XEV 9S aims to cater to a wide range of buyers — from those seeking an affordable entry-level electric SUV to customers wanting a fully-loaded, feature-rich EV with strong performance and amenities.
The ex-showroom price of XEV 9S ranges from ₹19.95 lakh (base variant) up to ₹29.45 lakh (top-end variant), depending on the battery capacity and feature pack selected.
In this overview, we break down the variants, battery / performance specs, features, and what differentiates each trim — to help you get a clear picture of what you get at different price.
•The base-level “Pack One Above (59 kWh)” starts at ₹19.95 lakh.
•For a larger battery (79 kWh) even in the base variant the cost becomes ₹21.95 lakh.
•The mid-level “Pack Two Above” comes in two battery options (70 kWh and 79 kWh), showing flexibility in both price and performance.
•The top-end trims — Pack Three and Pack Three Above, both with 79 kWh packs — max out the pricing at ₹27.35 lakh and ₹29.45 lakh respectively.
Battery, Range & Performance
•The XEV 9S is built on Mahindra’s EV-specific INGLO platform and offers three battery pack options: 59 kWh, 70 kWh and 79 kWh.
•Claimed driving range varies by battery and variant
•59 kWh: about 521 km on a full charge.
•70 kWh: around 600 km.
•79 kWh: up to 679 km (in ideal/claimed conditions) across higher variants.
•Mahindra also claims a more realistic/real-world range of about 500 km on a full charge (with typical AC usage), which is a more practical benchmark for daily use.
•Charging: All variants support fast charging. According to official data, the 20–80% fast-charge can be done in roughly 20 minutes (when using a compatible DC fast charger) for battery packs.
Power output depends on the battery pack: for instance, the 59 kWh pack generates about 170 kW (≈ 228 bhp), while 79 kWh pack goes up to 210 kW (≈ 282 bhp).
Features, Comfort & Safety
Depending on the variant chosen, XEV 9S offers a spectrum from basic EV amenities to premium-level comfort, luxury and tech. Some of the notable features and highlights across variants:
•All – or most – variants feature a triple-screen cabin layout: a digital driver display, central touchscreen infotainment and a separate passenger screen, giving it a modern, tech-forward interior.
•Higher-end trims offer advanced features like ventilated second-row seats, powered co-driver seat (with “boss mode”), panoramic sunroof, rear reclining seats, R18+ alloy wheels, and a 150 litre “frunk” (front trunk) in addition to boot capacity — increasing practicality.
•For safety and driver assistance, top variants get Level 2+ ADAS (advanced driver-assistance systems) — including features such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping, emergency braking, blind-spot detection, 360-degree camera, driver monitoring, autonomous parking, and more.
•The ride quality is also emphasized: the INGLO platform uses a stiff body shell and a chassis tuned for comfort; top variants reportedly get intelligent adaptive suspension, multi-link rear suspension, and other refinements for a smoother and quieter ride.
Given seating for seven and strong battery/feature combinations, the XEV 9S aims to be a practical EV for family use — long drives, city commuting, and even highway travel — without significant compromises.
What Variant to Choose — Quick Guide (H2)
•Budget-conscious / city usage: Pack One Above (59 kWh) — at ₹19.95 lakh, it’s the entry into a 7-seater EV, offering decent range and basic features.
•Balanced spend & range: Pack Two Above (70 kWh) — gives a nice middle ground: larger battery, better range (~600 km claimed), with additional features over the base pack.
•Maximum features & performance: Pack Three / Pack Three Above (79 kWh) — ideal for buyers seeking full-featured, highest-range, and comfort-luxury oriented EV experience.
