Mahindra XEV 9e Electric SUV Launched at Rs 21.90 Lakh with Triple-Screen Interface and Advanced Features

Mahindra has launched the XEV 9e in India, priced at Rs 18.90 lakh (ex-showroom), respectively. The XEV 9e will be available in three variants—Pack 1, Pack 2, and Pack 3, with the Rs 21.90 lakh price for the Pack 1 variant. The SUV comes in three colour options: Desert Myst, Tango Red, and Everest White. Set to launch in January 2025, deliveries are expected to begin between February and March.

Mahindra's INGLO platform, designed exclusively for electric vehicles, underpins both the XEV 9e and BE 6e. The platform focuses on improving performance, efficiency, and safety with advanced battery technology that provides faster charging and longer range. Its flat-floor design lowers the vehicle's center of gravity, enhancing stability, while maximizing interior space by eliminating the central tunnel. This design also offers more flexible seating arrangements for greater passenger comfort. Additionally, the INGLO platform supports over-the-air updates and driver assistance systems, ensuring a more refined driving experience.

The Mahindra XEV 9e comes with a 59kWh battery, delivering 228bhp and 380Nm of torque, offering a range of 656km on a full charge. With a 140kW DC fast charger, the battery can be charged from 20% to 80% in just 20 minutes. The SUV can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in 6.8 seconds. A larger 79kWh battery option is expected to be available later.

The Mahindra XUV 9e's interior combines modern design with advanced features. The dashboard houses a triple-screen setup, offering separate displays for the driver, infotainment, and the passenger. A two-spoke steering wheel with an illuminated Infinity logo adds to the sleek design, while the center console includes controls for driving modes, a gear shift, cupholders, and wireless charging pads. Premium features in the cabin include a panoramic glass roof, multi-coloured ambient lighting, cruise control, and powered, ventilated seats.

For entertainment, the SUV comes with a Harman-Kardon 16-speaker audio system, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and dual-zone climate control. A 10.25-inch digital driver display enhances the tech-driven experience. The XEV 9e is equipped with a range of safety features, including six airbags, front and rear parking sensors, and a 360-degree camera. It also comes with a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), electronic parking brake (EPB), and auto park functionality. Additionally, the SUV offers level-2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to enhance driver safety and convenience.
