Design, Platform and Dimensions
The XEV 9e shares Mahindra’s INGLO skateboard EV architecture, designed from the ground up for battery electric vehicles. The styling is modern and coupe-SUV inspired, with a sloping roofline, muscular fenders, large 19- to 20-inch alloy wheels, LED lighting, a panoramic glass roof, and a wide, planted stance.
Key dimensions include a length of 4,789 mm, width of 1,907 mm, height of 1,694 mm, and a 2,775 mm wheelbase, giving it an imposing yet refined road presence. Boot space is generous at about 663 litres with split‐folding rear seats.
Powertrain, Battery and Range
The 2025 Mahindra XEV 9e is offered with two battery pack options: a 59 kWh Blade LFP unit and a longer-range 79 kWh Blade LFP pack, both paired with a rear-motor, rear-wheel-drive permanent magnet synchronous motor.
- The 59 kWh variant produces around 228 bhp (approximately 170 kW) and 380 Nm of torque, delivering an ARAI-claimed driving range of circa 542 km.
- The 79 kWh version boosts output to about 282 bhp (approx. 210 kW) and retains 380 Nm torque, with a claimed range of up to 656 km under ideal conditions.
Charging options are comprehensive. AC charging is available with 7.2 kW or 11.2 kW chargers, while fast DC charging can be supported up to 140–180 kW, enabling a 20–80 per cent charge in around 20 minutes. Regenerative braking with multiple modes further enhances efficiency.
Performance figures include a brisk 0-100 km/h time of approximately 6.7–6.8 seconds for the larger-battery variants.
Interior, Technology and Safety
Inside, the XEV 9e offers an upscale, tech-rich cabin with a three-screen layout: driver display, central touchscreen infotainment, and a front-passenger screen for entertainment or auxiliary controls. Connectivity includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Mahindra’s MAIA software suite with over-the-air updates, Alexa/ChatGPT voice assistant integration, and a premium 16-speaker Harman Kardon sound system.
Comfort is enhanced by features such as dual-zone automatic climate control, a panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting, and wireless phone charging.
Safety is a strong point: the XEV 9e achieved a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating in 2025 testing. Standard safety and driver-assist features include seven airbags, electronic stability control, hill hold assist, ISOFIX child seat anchors, and Level-2 autonomous driving aids like adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, and a 360-degree camera.
Pricing and Market Position
The Mahindra XEV 9e was initially launched with ex-showroom prices ranging from approximately ₹21.90 lakh for the base 59 kWh variant up to ₹31.25 lakh for the top-end 79 kWh Pack Three with high-end accessories and charging equipment.
In mid-2025, Mahindra introduced more accessible pricing for the 79 kWh battery in the mid-spec Pack Two variant, lowering the entry price for long-range configurations to around ₹26.50 lakh.
