Real-world driving range is likely to be around 450–500 km, making it suitable for long-distance travel.
Price and Rivals
The XEV 9S will sit above the XEV 9e in Mahindra’s lineup.
Expected Price Range: ₹25 lakh – ₹35 lakh (ex-showroom)
Rivals:
The XEV 9S will be India’s first mass-market 7-seater electric SUV, meaning:
- No direct competitor at launch
- MPVs like BYD eMax 7 and Kia Carens Clavis EV are alternatives but not direct rivals.
This gives Mahindra an early advantage in the practical family EV segment.
Final Thoughts
The Mahindra XEV 9S has the potential to become a defining model in India’s EV journey.
It combines convenience, technology, and long-range practicality in a family-friendly package.
Its 7-seater configuration makes it stand out in a segment currently without competition.
If the pricing stays aggressive, it could dominate both urban and long-distance EV buyers.
Mahindra is clearly aiming to raise the benchmark for electric SUVs in India.
