Mahindra XEV 9e - New Variants Coming Soon?
The Mahindra XEV 9e is available in four variants and offers two battery pack options. The variants are named Pack One, Pack Two, Pack Three Select, and Pack Three. The first three packs come with a 59 kWh battery, which provides a range of 542 km. In contrast, the Pack Three features a larger 79 kWh battery pack, offering a claimed range of 656 km.
According to a recently leaked trademark filing, the brand is preparing to introduce more variants that will be divided into two battery pack options. The new variants in the lineup will include the Pack Three Select B79 and the Pack Three B59. This lineup will consist of four options with a 59 kWh battery pack and two options with a 79 kWh battery pack. The details of the new variant lineup are mentioned below.
- Pack One 59 kWh
- Pack Two 59 kWh
- Pack Three 59 kWh
- Pack Three Select 59 kWh
- Pack Three 79 kWh
- Pack Three Select 79 kWh
The new addition will be available in the Pack Three and Pack Three Select. The new Pack Three Select 79 variant will feature a larger 79 kWh battery pack, providing more range to customers. Additionally, customers who are interested in the features of the top-spec model but can manage with a smaller 59 kWh battery pack will benefit from the new Pack Three 59, which offers all the features at a competitive price.
Both the 59 kWh and 79 kWh battery pack versions comes with a RWD (rear-wheel drive) configuration. The former offers a claimed range of 542 km and 170 kW of peak power, while the latter offers a claimed range of 656 km and 210 kW of peak power. The torque delivery remains at 380 Nm for both versions.

Verdict
The addition of new battery pack variants will offer better value to potential XUV 9e customers. This move could be a response to the arrival of a new rival in the market, the Tata Harrier EV, which offers a larger 65 kWh battery pack starting from the base variant. Introducing a 79 kWh battery option for the Pack Three Select variant will provide better range to the customers under a budger, while the inclusion of a 59 kWh battery in the Pack Three Select variant will cater to those more features but okay to compromise with range.
