Get ready, electric vehicle enthusiasts and growing families. Mahindra has officially announced the debut of its all-new XEV 9S, a highly anticipated 7-seater electric SUV, scheduled for November 27, 2025. This launch isn’t just another model; it’s a strategic move that will establish Mahindra’s first three-row electric vehicle in the competitive Indian market.
Built from the ground up as an electric vehicle, the XUV 9S will utilize Mahindra’s advanced INGLO Skateboard platform. This is the same modular architecture that forms the foundation for its siblings, the XUV 9e and the BE 06, promising modern EV performance and efficiency.
What to Expect from the Design and Interior
While Mahindra is keeping the final specifications under wraps for now, industry observers and spy shots provide strong clues. The XEV 9S is widely believed to be the production-ready version of the XUV700 Electric prototype, previously known as the XEV 7e concept.
If this holds true, we can expect the XEV 9S to inherit several striking design elements from its prototype and showroom siblings. The front fascia will likely feature a sleek, connected LED light bar, a blanked-off grille signifying its electric heart, and distinctive dual-pod LED headlights similar to those on the XUV 9e.
Inside, the cabin is expected to be a tech-lover’s delight. Spy shots suggest a high-tech dashboard dominated by a triple-screen setup, providing information and entertainment for both driver and passengers. A futuristic steering wheel, akin to the one in the XUV 9e, is also anticipated to be part of the premium package.
Powertrain and Range Expectations
The question on every potential buyer’s mind is, “How far can it go?” Mahindra has yet to release official powertrain details. However, judging by the brand’s new generation of electric vehicles, the expectations are high.
It is reasonable to anticipate that the XEV 9S will be equipped with a large battery pack capable of delivering a claimed range of over 500 kilometers on a single charge. This would place it squarely in contention with other long-range EVs, making it a viable option for both city commutes and longer family road trips. As with all pre-launch speculation, we await final confirmation from Mahindra to paint a complete picture of its capabilities.
The debut on November 27 is set to be a significant moment, marking Mahindra’s bold entry into the family electric SUV segment.
