Mahindra is ready to expand its electric SUV lineup with the upcoming XEV 9S, a born-electric 7-seater SUV that will make its global debut on November 27, 2025, at the brand’s “Scream Electric” event in Bengaluru. The reveal will mark one year since the launch of Mahindra’s Electric Origin range, underlining the company’s strong push toward premium electric mobility.
What Is the Mahindra XEV 9S?
The Mahindra XEV 9S is an all-new, fully electric SUV built on Mahindra’s INGLO skateboard platform—the same flexible architecture that underpins the company’s next-generation EVs.
While early reports suggest that it shares some design cues with the XEV 7e concept (which many called the XUV700 EV online), the XEV 9S is a ground-up electric vehicle, not a converted model. This gives it the benefit of better space management, structural rigidity, and efficiency.

Design and Platform
Expect the XEV 9S to carry Mahindra’s new design identity seen on the Born Electric Vision concepts — bold lines, aerodynamic curves, and a futuristic front fascia with full-width LED lighting.
Being built on the INGLO platform, the SUV will support multiple battery configurations, fast-charging capability, and advanced safety systems. The skateboard structure also helps achieve a low center of gravity, promising better handling and ride stability.
Performance and Range
While Mahindra has yet to confirm performance figures, early reports suggest a range of up to 500 km per charge, depending on the variant and battery size. The INGLO architecture can support high-voltage battery packs and dual-motor setups, which means an all-wheel-drive version could also be in the works.
Interior and Technology
Inside, the XEV 9S is expected to feature:
- A minimalist, tech-forward dashboard
- Dual widescreen displays for infotainment and driver information
- Connected car tech with OTA updates
- AI-assisted features and advanced safety systems
With seven seats, the SUV aims to deliver a mix of luxury, practicality, and futuristic appeal for family buyers and EV enthusiasts alike.
Expected Price and Rivals
Though pricing details will be announced at launch, the Mahindra XEV 9S is expected to be priced around ₹45–₹55 lakh (ex-showroom) in India.
Once launched, it will compete with:
- Hyundai Ioniq 5
- Kia EV6
- Tata Avinya EV
- BYD Seal U and MG Cloud EV
What to Expect Next
Mahindra’s “Scream Electric” event on November 27 will be a major milestone for the brand’s EV future. Apart from unveiling the XEV 9S, the company could also share updates on its next-gen battery technology, charging infrastructure, and global expansion roadmap.
Final Thoughts
The Mahindra XEV 9S represents a big step in India’s EV journey. It’s built on a modern platform, designed for the global market, and aims to blend performance, comfort, and sustainability.
