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.
