Mahindra gears up to unveil the XEV 9S – a bold 7-seater born-electric SUV
Mahindra is all set to electrify the family SUV space with something big – literally. The upcoming Mahindra XEV 9S will mark the brand’s first-ever 7-seater electric SUV, based on its cutting-edge INGLO skateboard platform. With its debut around the corner, the XEV 9S is shaping up to be a true-blue Mahindra that blends SUV DNA with next-gen electric tech.
The First Born-Electric 7-Seater SUV from Mahindra
While many electric SUVs are derived from ICE platforms, the XEV 9S is being built ground-up as an EV. That means better packaging, more space and a completely flat floor – perfect for accommodating three rows of seats without compromise.
Expect a rear-wheel-drive setup, ensuring that the XEV 9S drives like a proper Mahindra SUV rather than just an electrified crossover. The INGLO platform’s skateboard-style battery layout allows for better weight distribution, enhanced space management and even the possibility of a full-sized frunk – a rarity in large SUVs.
Spacious, Smart and Family-Focused
Mahindra has already teased features that make it clear the 9S isn’t just about power and presence. The SUV will offer:
- Sliding second-row seats for flexible cabin configuration
- An openable panoramic Skyroof for a bright, premium feel
- A completely flat floor, enhancing comfort for all three rows
- Massive interior space, thanks to the skateboard design
These details hint that Mahindra is targeting families who want an electric SUV without compromising on practicality or comfort.
Loaded with Tech – Carrying Forward the XEV 9e’s DNA
Mahindra has confirmed that the 9S will pack all the features and technology from the XEV 9e, the five-seater model that impressed with its digital cockpit, advanced driver assistance systems and high-end connectivity suite. Expect triple screens, AI-based interfaces and smart integration features that push the in-car experience into premium territory.
If the XEV 9e is anything to go by, the 9S will bring top-notch ADAS features, fast-charging capability and OTA (over-the-air) updates, ensuring the SUV stays current with software improvements over time.
Built on INGLO – The Heart of Mahindra’s EV Future
The INGLO platform forms the core of Mahindra’s next-gen electric lineup. Designed for flexibility, performance, and safety, it supports multiple body styles and powertrain configurations. With 30,000+ Mahindra electric SUVs already on Indian roads, the brand has built significant momentum in the EV space – and the XEV 9S could be the defining model that brings electric mobility to bigger families.
The Mahindra Identity – Electrified
Despite the modern EV silhouette, the XEV 9S won’t shy away from Mahindra’s trademark muscular design language. Expect a bold stance, sharp LED light signatures and an unmistakable SUV road presence – all wrapped in an electric future-ready aesthetic.
What to Expect at Launch
The official unveiling of the Mahindra XEV 9S will take place soon and anticipation is high. While official specs remain under wraps, we can expect:
- A real-world range of around 500 km
- Multiple battery configurations
- Fast charging support
- Premium interiors and large digital screens
- A focus on comfort, practicality, and road presence
If Mahindra nails the pricing and performance balance, the XEV 9S could become the first truly desirable family-size eSUV for Indian buyers.
Final Thoughts
With the XEV 9S, Mahindra isn’t just adding another EV to its lineup – it’s creating a new benchmark for Indian electric SUVs. A 7-seater electric built from the ground up, with proper SUV proportions, real practicality and cutting-edge technology, this is the electric family car India has been waiting for.
