Electric SUVs are no longer about just range or performance. What really matters now is how well they fit into everyday life. As the modern car buyer looks for a car that can do it all, it has to play multiple roles. From being a family transport and city commuter to a weekend getaway machine and, occasionally, something that’s just fun to drive, the Mahindra XEV 9S is the do-it-all eSUV you’ve been waiting for.

Space Galore

If you have lunch plans with a group of your friends, or are planning a short trip with the extended family, fret not for the 7-seat XEV 9S can accommodate them in all three rows without anyone feeling short-changed on space or comfort. The second row bench seat can be reclined for greater comfort, and can be slid forwards or backwards to adjust for legroom. Even airport runs with tons of luggage is no issue for this eSUV, as you can fold the third row down and get a wide, spacious 500-litre boot that’s ready for suitcases, backpacks, and everything in between. And then there's the useful 150-litre frunk for any additional bags, so storage will never be an issue.

Go The Distance

And when the road opens up and you are in the mood for some fun, 286 horsepower ensures the XEV 9S doesn’t forget how to be engaging behind the wheel. It is quick, and offers effortless performance. Even when you need to charge up the battery, the XEV 9S can do so at blisteringly fast speeds of 180kW, bringing the battery from 20 percent to 80 percent in just 20 minutes.
