Mahindra XEV 9S 7-seater EV to debut on November 27

Mahindra is going to debut the new XEV 9S EV in India on November 27, 2025. It will be a 7-seater e-SUV built on the INGLO skateboard platform, which also underpins the XEV 9e and BE 6.

  1. XEV 9S will be Mahindra’s first 3-row EV in India 
  2. It will likely be production-spec version of XEV 7e

EV could be the production version of the electric XUV700 prototype

Mahindra XEV 9S 7-seater EV to debut on November 27

The XEV 9S will be a born-electric SUV and, apart from it being a 7-seater model built on the INGLO skateboard platform, Mahindra hasn’t revealed any other details yet.

However, this EV could be the production-spec version of the XUV700 Electric prototype (also called the XEV 7e), which has been spied testing many times.

In that case, the upcoming XEV 9S would likely borrow heavily from the prototype. Some of these elements could be the connected LED daytime running lamps (DRLs), blanked-off grille, and dual-pod LED headlights like those in the XEV 9e.

The interior could borrow the XEV 9e’s 3-screen setup and steering wheel, as suggested by some spy shots.

Could come with a claimed 500km+ range

While the XEV 9S’s powertrain details are awaited, going by Mahindra’s new-age EV standards, one can expect a big battery pack with a 500+ km claimed range. However, we can only share details on this once there’s some clarity from the carmaker.
