Mumbai, November 11 (Auto Desk) — Mahindra & Mahindra is all set to electrify the Indian automobile market once again with the much-awaited Mahindra XEV 9S electric SUV, which will officially debut on November 27, 2025.
Touted as the company’s flagship electric vehicle, the Mahindra XEV 9S electric SUV will be built on Mahindra’s cutting-edge INGLO skateboard EV platform, which underpins the brand’s next-generation electric lineup.
The model is expected to redefine premium electric mobility in India with advanced technology, futuristic design, and an impressive 600 km driving range on a single charge.
Powertrain, Battery, and Performance
According to company insiders, the Mahindra XEV 9S electric SUV will feature a dual-motor setup for all-wheel drive (AWD) capability, powered by a high-density 90 kWh battery pack.
Performance-wise, it will deliver instant torque and lightning-fast acceleration — 0 to 100 km/h in under 6 seconds. The vehicle will also support ultra-fast DC charging, capable of replenishing 80% of the battery in just 25 minutes using compatible high-voltage chargers.
Mahindra is likely to offer both rear-wheel-drive (RWD) and AWD variants, catering to a wide range of buyers — from family-orientated customers to performance enthusiasts.
Design and Interiors
The Mahindra XEV 9S electric SUV continues the bold, muscular design language seen on the brand’s XUV700 but with sleeker aerodynamics. Expect an illuminated front fascia, a connected LED light bar, and an active aero grille inspired by Mahindra’s global BE range.
Inside, the SUV will feature a dual 12.3-inch display layout (for infotainment and instrument cluster), an AI-powered voice assistant, and premium upholstery made from sustainable materials. Mahindra is also expected to include Level 2+ ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) for enhanced safety and comfort.
Platform and Technology
Built on the modular INGLO platform, the XEV 9S benefits from ultra-safe lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries designed to handle Indian climate conditions.
This architecture supports advanced regenerative braking, over-the-air (OTA) software updates, and wireless charging readiness — signalling Mahindra’s commitment to futuristic, tech-first driving experiences.
Additionally, the Mahindra XEV 9S electric SUV will integrate connected vehicle technology through the AdrenoX system, allowing real-time vehicle health monitoring, geo-fencing, and voice control via smartphone apps.
Market Impact and Positioning
Industry experts believe the launch of the Mahindra XEV 9S electric SUV will be a defining moment for India’s EV market, directly competing with premium electric models like the Hyundai Ioniq 7, Tata Harrier EV, and MG Marvel R.
Auto analyst Rohit Sharma said,
“The Mahindra XEV 9S electric SUV will position Mahindra as a leader in the mid-to-premium EV SUV space. Its combination of range, power, and Indian adaptability gives it an edge over global players.”
Mahindra’s aggressive EV roadmap includes five new models under the Born Electric (BE) and XEV brands by 2027. The 9S will act as a flagship product bridging luxury and sustainability.
Pricing and Availability
While official pricing will be revealed at the launch, early estimates place the Mahindra XEV 9S electric SUV between ₹45 lakh and ₹55 lakh (ex-showroom).
Mahindra plans to assemble the SUV at its Pune EV Manufacturing Hub, with localisation levels above 60%, helping it qualify for government incentives under India’s FAME-II and EV policy programmes.
Bookings are expected to open in early December, with deliveries beginning by Q1 2026. The company also plans to export the model to Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.
Sustainability and Strategy
Mahindra has committed over ₹10,000 crore to its EV division, focusing on design, charging infrastructure, and battery recycling. The company is also working with global partners for EV battery development and software integration.
Chairman Anand Mahindra said in a recent statement,
“The Mahindra XEV 9S electric SUV represents not just a product launch but a shift in how India envisions sustainable luxury mobility.”
Conclusion
The upcoming Mahindra XEV 9S electric SUV is shaping up to be a revolutionary product for India’s electric vehicle landscape. With futuristic design, long range, and rapid charging capabilities, it embodies Mahindra’s new vision for mobility — bold, intelligent, and sustainable.
As the world turns toward greener transport, Mahindra’s latest innovation could make India a global hub for premium electric SUVs.
