Asked by: Akkion Dec 16, 2025
I am looking to buy a good EV and want something a segment above city cars. I had shortlisted the XEV 9e, but considering the ₹2 lakh price difference compared to the 9s, I feel the XEV 9e may not sustain its current pricing and could see a price correction. The December offers are available, but they are not attractive enough for me to close the deal. Should I wait for another 2-3 months, or do you think the current offers are the best and I should go ahead with the purchase?
There is no confirmation of a possible price reduction for the Mahindra XEV 9e. In fact, carmakers usually use the new calendar year to bump up prices. If your heart is set on the Mahindra XEV 9e, we'd advise you to make the most of the year-end discounts.
Alternatively, you could consider the attractively priced Mahindra XEV 9S that is essentially a 9e in a conventional SUV body style. The two SUVs are one and the same under the skin, and it's only the different suspension tuning (the 9S is set up much softer) that is the point of difference that you'd feel on the move. The 9S also gives added flexibility with a third row of seats.

I am confused between the XEV 9S and the XUV 7XO. My monthly running is around 1,500 km, and I have my own parking space. Please advise.
The new Mahindra XEV 9S and upcoming XUV 7XO will be closely related in many ways, sharing their body panels, interior layout and features. However, the two will be very different under the skin, with the 9S coming built on Mahindra's new-age INGLO electric architecture.
If the majority of your usage will be in the city and you have the option to install an EV charger in your parking, the Mahindra XEV 9S would make more sense. For starters, running costs will be significantly lower than the petrol/diesel XUV 7XO, and there's also the other advantages you get on an EV - near silent running and supremely smooth performance. What's more, with the benefits available on EVs, the final price will not be much more than a comparable Mahindra XUV 7XO.
The 7XO promises to build on the XUV 700's strengths by adding more features like a three-screen layout. The petrol and diesel engines will be carried forward from the XUV 700, but that's no bad thing because they are powerful and refined. That said, consider the XUV 7XO only if you undertake long-distance journeys frequently, where the lack of reliable public EV chargers can play spoilsport.

We own two cars: a 2024 top-line manual Taigun and a 2025 GT Line VW. My daily city run is about 70 km and my wife’s is about 40 km. Should we buy an EV given our usage, and should we consider selling one of the cars? We are doctors and both cars are great to drive, so we are unsure what makes the most sense.
Yes, the Volkswagen Taigun is a lot of fun to drive, however if you are open to going electric, you could sell one and get an EV. That way, you will still have an internal combustion car for any occasional highway trips.
Since both you and your wife's daily drive is within the city, either of you could use the EV, and range would not be an issue. Also, besides the lower running costs, you could also benefit from things like toll and parking fee waivers for EVs in certain cities.
Consider the Hyundai Creta EV, which is a no-nonsense and practical car. However, if you do want a fun-to-drive electric, check out the Mahindra XEV 9S, or even the Mahindra BE6, which is very exciting to drive but has quite a few ergonomic issues.

I am currently using a Verna diesel top variant, and my yearly running is approximately 20,000 km. I am now thinking of buying the Mahindra XEV 9S Pack 1 with the 79 kWh battery pack. Please suggest whether this is a good idea for me.
If you've got your heart set on the Mahindra XEV9S, go for it. It is a sensible option. Not only do you get the latest in terms of tech and features, but you also get the flexibility of seven seats. Also, its larger battery ensures a healthy travel range, which is likely to be in excess of 450km in the real world.

We are looking for an EV car in the budget of 25 lakh. We received great offers in December for the XEV 9E, but the XEV 9S has also been launched now. We booked a 79-kilowatt XEV 9E pack 2. But we are thinking of going for pack 2 XEV 9S around the same price. It is confusing to know which car is better. We don’t need a seven-seater, but we also don’t mind extra seats. We need a comfortable car out of the two. Also, I get car sickness often. The Scorpio N suspension is good, but body roll is there. So I decided 9e. Your suggestions, please.
The Mahindra XEV 9S is a fantastic value proposition considering its rivals. While the XEV 9e is swanky-looking with its unique form factor, the sloping roofline sacrifices roominess inside the cabin. The XEV 9S, on the other hand, has a roomier cabin, and even if you don't need the third row, you can always fold it down and use it as a big boot space.
The 9S is a newer car and has the same level of sophistication as the Mahindra XEV 9e. However, it has a slightly floaty ride, and the suspension is on the softer side. As a result, you will feel the movements inside the cabin compared to a 9e. Considering your needs and the fact that you don't require a third row, we would suggest sticking to the 9e.

I am looking to buy an EV and am considering the Harrier EV or the XEV 9S. The main reasons for buying a new EV are bigger space and cost-effective travel. Could you advise if considering an EV is good or not?
You can go for an electric car of your choice as long as you imbibe some discipline about charging your vehicle, as public charging is still unreliable and can be expensive too. Long drives on EVs require some amount of pre-planning. The other downside is lower resale value. But with the right mindset, EVs can be enjoyable.
Between the Tata Harrier EV and the Mahindra XEV 9S, our pick would be XEV 9S. It was launched recently with lots of features and attractive pricing.

Hi, we are planning to purchase a new 6- or 7-seater, but we are confused between the XUV700 diesel manual and the new XEV 9S. Our daily commute is around 100km. Could you please recommend which car we should go ahead with? Thank you.
Mahindra will launch the updated XUV700, now called the XUV 7XO, on 5 January 2026. If this is already on your shortlist, it may be worth waiting for the launch before you make a final decision. We expect it to receive design updates and additional features as well.
However, if you need a car sooner, the Mahindra XEV 9S is a strong alternative. It is well priced, and it comes loaded with features like triple 12.3 inch screens, a head up display with augmented reality navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 360 degree camera, and a 16 speaker Harman Kardon sound system, along with several other highlights.
The XEV 9S is offered with three battery pack options: 59 kWh, 70 kWh, and 79 kWh. The claimed range stands between 521 km and 679 km, and power output varies from 231 hp to 286 hp, depending on the pack chosen. Considering your daily 100 km commute, the smallest 59 kWh version should be more than sufficient for your usage.

I currently use a 2016 Hyundai Grand i10 and have completed around 1,05,000km. I now want to buy a 7-seater EV at an affordable price. Please suggest the best option for me.
Sadly, there are very few options for 7-seat EVs. The most affordable option is the Kia Carens Clavis EV, which starts at Rs 17.99 lakh (ex-showroom). While it is on the pricier side, the Carens Clavis EV is an excellent electric car. It's smooth and powerful, and scores really well with comfy enough seating for up to 7 passengers.
Carens Clavis aside, the new Mahindra XEV 9S is another option if you are looking for a 7-seat EV. Prices start at Rs 19.95 lakh.

Asked by: Sukhvinder Singhon Dec 8, 2025
I want to buy a 7-seater for my family with a 70:30 highway-to-city usage pattern and an annual running of around 10,000 to 12,000km. I am considering the Invicto Zeta Plus with year-end discounts, the HyCross GX, and the XEV 9S. My buying motivators are Comfort, build-to-last quality and low maintenance, as I will be keeping it for a long time. Which one should I choose?
Since the majority of your driving is on the highway, we would rule out the Mahindra XEV 9S, as public charging infrastructure is not yet fully developed on the highway. The Maruti Suzuki Invicto and Toyota Innova HyCross are fundamentally the same cars, which are both very spacious and comfortable.
Besides, they are very reliable too and promise to give you a hassle-free ownership experience throughout their lifecycle with you. The non-hybrid 1.5 petrol variants aren’t very powerful for highway use, but they do the job as a relaxed commuter. Between the Invicto and the HyCross, we would choose the HyCross as it has better resale value, thanks to the lure of the Toyota badge.

I want to buy a new SUV that offers the fuel efficiency and ownership experience of a hybrid like the Hyryder, the safety and road presence of the Scorpio N, and the comfort of a 6-seater automatic petrol like the XUV700. I also want to keep this new car for around 10-12 years. Please suggest a model that can meet most of these requirements.
While there isn't exactly a car that's as efficient as the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, the road presence of a Mahindra Scorpio N, and has the comfort of an XUV700, a vehicle which could come close is the Mahindra XEV 9S.
Being an electric car, running costs will be very low, and comfort and road presence are similar to an XUV700. The Toyota Innova HyCross will be efficient and comfortable, although it won't offer the Scorpio-like road presence that you're looking for.
