Mahindra XEV 9S electric SUV gets a new electric three-row platform. Here are its top highlights such as XEV 9S range, price and more
The Mahindra XEV 9S features a dedicated electric architecture and a spacious three-row layout, marking one of the brand’s most advanced EVs yet.
1. Electric-Origin Platform With a Proper Three-Row Layout
Unlike EVs adapted from internal-combustion platforms, the XEV 9S has been developed as a dedicated electric model. This allows more efficient packaging, resulting in one of the segment’s largest cabins. Mahindra claims 4,076 litres of combined space across the first two rows, along with a 150-litre frunk and up to 527 litres of boot capacity. The third row gets a 50:50 split, while the second row slides and reclines to adapt to passenger or luggage needs.
2. Multiple Battery Options and Performance
The model is offered with 59 kWh, 70 kWh and 79 kWh battery packs. The motor’s output ranges up to 282 bhp and 380 Nm, with a claimed maximum driving range of 679 km. The top-spec configuration delivers a 0 to 100 km/h time of 7.0 seconds and reaches a 202 km/h top speed, placing it among the quicker three-row electric SUVs announced for the Indian market.
| Pack One Above 59 kWh | 228 bhp | 380 Nm | 521 km | 7.9 sec | 20 min (140 kW DC) | ₹19.95 lakh |

4. Safety and Driver Assistance Technology
The XEV 9S combines structural protection with a broad set of active safety technologies. It uses a high-stiffness body shell, seven airbags and all-wheel disc brakes with brake-by-wire functionality. The L2+ assistance suite uses five radars and a vision camera to provide support functions such as adaptive cruise, lane-keeping, and collision-mitigation interventions. The SUV also includes a driver monitoring system for fatigue alerts and Mahindra’s Secure360 Pro, which provides a live vehicle view along with recording capability, adding an extra security layer.
