Inside, the cabin offers three-row seating, ensuring comfort and space for families, adventure enthusiasts, and urban commuters alike. The SUV embodies Mahindra’s vision to provide a perfect balance between practicality, premium comfort, and high performance in the electric segment.
Built on the Revolutionary INGLO Platform
The XEV 9S is underpinned by Mahindra’s INGLO platform, a cutting-edge EV architecture engineered for flexibility, safety, and superior driving dynamics. The modular platform allows scalable battery configurations and supports advanced features such as rapid DC fast charging, enhanced regenerative braking, and next-gen connectivity.
This platform is designed to deliver high structural integrity, efficient energy management, and an engaging driving experience. It also aligns with global safety standards, ensuring top-tier protection for occupants.
Performance and Technology Highlights
Mahindra’s XEV 9S comes equipped with a high-performance dual-motor all-wheel-drive system, offering swift acceleration and robust handling across terrains. While the company has yet to disclose official range and battery details, sources indicate an expected range exceeding 500 km on a single charge, supported by ultra-fast charging capabilities.
Inside the SUV, the digital cockpit features a panoramic touchscreen display, AI-powered voice assistance, and over-the-air (OTA) software updates, bringing a futuristic driving experience. The infotainment system integrates seamlessly with Mahindra’s connected mobility ecosystem.
Strengthening India’s EV Footprint
