Dimensions
The XEV 9S is built around one core idea - maximising space. Its electric-origin INGLO platform frees up room in every row, creating an open, comfortable three-row cabin. With dimensions of 4,915 mm in length, 1,903 mm in width and 1,690 mm in height, plus a 2,775 mm wheelbase, the SUV offers generous room for all passengers. Practicality stands out too: you get 280 litres of boot space with all rows up, expanding to a massive 1,853 litres when the second and third rows are folded. A 20-litre frunk adds quick-access storage, making the XEV 9S truly versatile for everyday family use.
Verdict
Mahindra's XEV 9S enters the market as a well-priced, feature-rich electric 7-seater, with variants starting at Rs 19.95 lakh and topping out at Rs 29.45 lakh. The multiple battery options, long claimed range and a wide spread of features across packs make it a strong value proposition for families considering a spacious EV. While real-world performance and charging consistency will decide its long-term appeal, the launch overall positions the XEV 9S as a competitive and compelling new entrant in India's growing electric SUV space.
