Mahindra XEV 9e Launches in India: 659 km Range & Futuristic Features at ₹21.90 Lakh

Mahindra has unveiled its latest electric SUV, the XEV 9e, in the Indian market, priced at ₹21.90 lakh (ex-showroom Chennai). Deliveries are slated to commence in February 2025. This launch marks a significant step in Mahindra’s electric vehicle (EV) portfolio, introducing a model that combines innovative design with advanced features.

Design and Exterior

Contrary to earlier speculations that the Mahindra XEV 9e would be an electrified version of the XUV700, the SUV showcases a distinct design language. The front fascia features a triangular headlamp cluster flanked by LED daytime running lights (DRLs) that span the vehicle’s width, accentuating its modern aesthetic. The new Mahindra Motors logo is prominently positioned above the DRLs.

A continuous line extends from the front to the rear, culminating in a coupe-like silhouette with a sloping roofline. The Mahindra Motors Electic SUV is equipped with 19-inch alloy wheels, enhancing its robust stance. Measuring 4,789 mm in length and offering a ground clearance of approximately 207 mm, the XEV 9e balances style with practicality. Storage solutions include a 195-litre front trunk (frunk) and a 663-litre rear trunk, catering to diverse cargo needs.
